Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Auditions for the musical "TUCK EVERLASTING"! Actors needed. See more details below. About the project: Synopsis: In turn-of-the-century Treegap, New Hampshire, 11-year-old Winnie Foster longs for freedom beyond her strict home. When she meets the mysterious, ageless Tuck family—who once drank from a secret spring—Winnie is drawn into their world and hunted by a carnival huckster who wants to exploit the spring. Over one extraordinary week she learns about love, loss, and the “wheel” of life, and must choose between eternal youth and a mortal life fully lived. The show blends folk-inflected Broadway tunes with a wordless ballet that traces Winnie’s life to its natural end. At its heart, Tuck Everlasting is a story about love, loss, and the beauty of living life fully.
