Acting Out Kids Community Theatre - Auditions for Summer Production

Acting Out Kids Community Theatre - Auditions for Summer Production:


For our very first production, the Acting Out Kids Community Theater will be doing:

30 REASONS NOT TO BE IN A PLAY
Holding hands, pinkeye and inciting World War III – these are only a few of the many things that can go wrong during the production of a play. This is 90 minutes of hilarious horrors and hardships that befall those who feel the call of the stage. In a serious of funny examples, this play proves that drama can be a very dangerous thing and it must be avoided at all costs!

This fast-paced comedy is a series of skits with lots of great roles for a lot of kids. While the intent will be to put on a great show, the purpose of all of this is to have a lot fun, make friends and even learn a few things.

THE ROLES
There are literally too many roles in this play to list here. Obviously some roles are much bigger than others. Some are featured roles that involve many lines or whole monologues. In addition, there are many supporting roles such as family members and classmates. The important thing to note is that every role is in fact a speaking role. When you audition, please let us know if you’re interested in a featured role, a supporting role, or both.

THE AUDITIONS
*Open to children ages 9-18 years old*

Since this is a comedy, for the auditions we would like everyone to prepare a short (30-60 second) funny monologue.
