vp_logoSat, Aug. 11 from 9am-3pm

8 N Fort Thomas Ave.
Fort Thomas, KY 41075

Casting children ages 6-12.

This musical romp through the joys and sorrows of being a child is hilarious. Children give twenty-three lessons in such subjects as how to beg for a dog, how to torture your sister, how to act after being sent to your room, and how to laugh hysterically.

Casting children ages 6-12.

Children will be asked to sing alone 1) with sheet music which they bring with them 2) without any accompaniment OR 3) by choosing a familiar song (the musical director will have Disney books)

No CDs Please

Children will NOT need to prepare a monologue but will engage in improvisational games designed to reveal their imagination and ability to be directed.

Please bring a recent photo.

Auditions Announced for THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT at Village Players

VP_logoVillage Players and director Dan Maloney announce auditions for THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT by Stephen Adly Guirgis.

Synopsis
THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT is an uproarious, poignant, thought-provoking work by Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis. Boasting a large cast of zany characters, it asks one of the most plaguing questions in the Christian ideology: What happened to Judas Iscariot?

Set in a time-bending, imagined world between Heaven and Hell, Judas’ case is put to a hilarious, riotous, piercing trial – the results of which are sure to make the inhabitants of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory — and the audience — reconsider what each thought they knew about forgiveness, faith, and the human inside one of the history’s most infamous figures.

Seeking a diverse cast. Minimum 10 M, 5 W (with doubling). Up to 18 M, 9 W (without doubling).
