CINCINNATI PLAYHOUSE IN THE PARK TO AUDITION CHILDREN JUNE 13 AND 14 FOR 2015-16 PRODUCTIONS, INCLUDING A CHRISTMAS CAROL
(CINCINNATI) – The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park will hold auditions on Saturday, June 13, and Sunday, June 14, for children interested in performing in several of the theatre’s 2015-16 productions, including the annual holiday favorite A CHRISTMAS CAROL, presented by U.S. Bank. Children also will be screened from among the applicants for roles in additional shows, including MAD RIVER RISING and TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.
For the 25th anniversary production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, nine area children will be cast to fill speaking and non-speaking parts. Roles are available for boys and girls 8 to 13 years old. Additionally, the part of Tiny Tim requires a boy 6 to 8 years of age. Those cast in previous productions of A CHRISTMAS CAROL will need to email their information again to be considered for this year’s show. To be eligible, children must not turn 14 before Dec. 30, 2015.
Children should email a resume of any experience to the Playhouse, along with a photograph (a good quality school or family photo is acceptable). The resume and photo must be emailed again even if they have been sent in the past. The resume must include exact birth date and height, as well as an email address and telephone number. At the audition, children will be asked to share a one-minute monologue, story or poem and to demonstrate a British accent.
Interested children must be available for all rehearsals of these productions, most of which are scheduled around school hours. Children must also be available for all performances of the shows, which are scheduled Tuesdays through Sundays and include some weekday student and public matinees. Performance dates are available on the Playhouse website at www.cincyplay.com.
Photographs and resumes should be emailed to the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park to michael.haney@cincyplay.com. The deadline for consideration is May 29. Those selected to audition will be contacted by telephone to schedule specific times. All auditions will be held at the Playhouse, located in Eden Park at the edge of Mt. Adams.
The Playhouse is supported, in part, by the generosity of the tens of thousands of individuals and businesses that give to ArtsWave.
The Ohio Arts Council helps fund the Playhouse with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.
The Playhouse also receives funding from the Shubert Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
