"The Christians" Play Needs Actors
The company is holding auditions for "The Christians" play, and looking for performers, please see the details below ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Pastor Paul basks in the glory of having built a megachurch with thousands of loyal congregants and a newly-paid-for building. But a singular sermon that will radically shift the church’s teachings starts a ripple effect that could have devastating consequences both personally and professionally. Additional info: Rehearsals will begin in early September and will be based on actor availability. Please be prepared to list known conflicts. WHAT TO PREPARE For “SINGERS,” please prepare one minute of a contemporary gospel/praise and worship song. A backing track is preferred but acapella is acceptable. A Bluetooth speaker will be provided. All other roles will consist of readings from the script (please see the attachment) Show date: November 6-15, 2026 When applying, please include video auditions.
