Talent Needed for Production of "Charlotte's Web"
The company is holding auditions for "Charlotte's Web" show and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: The characters in Charlotte's Web have been imagined by tens of millions of children since the book's publication in 1952. Now, The Kirkwood Players embraces the opportunity to bring these characters to life in a way that is personal to and collaborative with a diverse cast of actors. Every role below is non-ethnicity-specific, and roles without an indication of gender or age are open to all. Rate: This is an unpaid, non-equity production. Additional info: Resumes and headshots are welcome but not required. We welcome all experience levels. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Actors will also have the opportunity to indicate on their form if they would like to perform a prepared monologue. The presence of an audition monologue does not affect casting decisions; it is offered for greater accessibility.
