For the 2015 season, we will be presenting the story of The Prince and the Pauper. We are in need of the following roles to comprise our principal cast*:
Principal Roles
Edward, The Prince
Tom, The Pauper
Miles, Best Friend to The Prince, a duke
Olivia, Best Friend to The Pauper/love interest to the prince
Elizabeth, Prince’s Fiancee/love interest to the pauper
Edith, chaperon for the day
Alfred, chaperon for the day
Garrett, Knight Captain/antagonist
*Principal roles will be required to attend all performance dates.
If you are auditioning for a principal role, please tailor your monologue accordingly. Ex: if you are auditioning for the prince, choose a monologue that would exemplify a prince, if you are auditioning for the villain, something villainous would be preferred.
Of course, any show is not solely comprised of it’s principal cast. We, as stated before, will be filling an entire medieval village with a diverse cast of characters. Our street cast is comprised of residents of the town (peasants), nobility visiting the village for the festival, faeries, travelers, rogues and highwaymen, a group new to our cast this year.
We also will accept ideas for original characters any auditioning person may wish to bring to our cast.
Any questions regarding groups or roles can be sent to the above email address, and will be responded to ASAP.
