Theatre Casting Call for "The Enchanted Bookshop"
Theatre is holding auditions for "The Enchanted Bookshop" play. In need of cast. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see the details below. About the project: Synopsis: During the day, A Likely Story may look like any other used bookstore. But at night, it’s a place where magic happens. That’s when the characters inside the books come alive. Six of those characters — Dorothy Gale, Robin Hood, Pollyanna, Sherlock Holmes, Heidi, and Tom Sawyer — long to help Margie, the scatterbrained owner, save her struggling store. But they’re not allowed to leave the building or be seen by human eyes. So when two smugglers comes looking for a stolen necklace hidden inside one of the books, the characters are torn. Should they warn Margie and risk disappearing forever? Or can they find a way to defeat the crooks without being seen? Featuring additional appearances by such beloved literary characters as the Queen of Hearts, Long John Silver, and Doctor Dolittle, this charming comedy celebrates the joy of reading in a fresh, fun-filled way. Additional info: Actors must prepare a monologue from material of their choice. Monologues must be less than one minute in length. Scripts are available at the box office—but must be returned the first night of auditions. Performances: September 18 – 20, 2025 at 7:00pm Sunday, September 21, 2025 at 2:30pm If you are interested, please apply.
