Well actually GARDENS... This September, several local community gardens are hosting our company of teens and adults to produce Dylan Bailey's original children's show The Many Adventures of Peter Rabbit. Each show will also include a hands on activity for the audience specific to the host garden. Gardens include The Well Fed Community Garden, Garner Grows, The Raleigh City Farm, Joslin Garden, and Pure Life Theatre's open-air stage where we are going to build some raised beds, and others. These activities may include lessons about the animals they also have on-site. There may be a snack or cooking activity, planting or harvesting produce. One young audience might even create beautiful garden art. It will all depend on the locations of the shows and the offerings of host-gardeners. Each one will be its one wonderful event and will call for a VERY special creative team of young performers! Come join us July 29th at Pure Life Theatre at 6:30 to find out if it is YOU!
Here are the details:
This version of this show will require a different skills than the acting skills that were needed for our earlier iterations in the spring and winter of 2020. Touring also requires a differing kind of maturity, leadership, focus, discipline, and flexibility than some resident productions. The team will consist of 7 student actors and 2 student HOSTS in addition to 2 professional adult touring actors. The HOSTS will be responsible for welcoming the audience, handling props and costumes during the show, and swing (understudy) assigned roles for the tour.
AUDITIONS
Thursday, July 29, 6:30 to 8:30 at Pure Life Theatre 3801 Hillsborough St. Raleigh, NC Suite 113
Auditions will consist of warm-ups, cold readings using excerpts from the script, ice breakers, group movement activities, and ensemble building activities. For the cold readings, auditionees are not expected to memorize the text of the excerpts. You will have an opportunity to read for at least two roles, maybe more depending on time/schedule. We are looking for high schoolers who work well with others, take direction well, adapt easily and quickly with little fuss and possess leadership skills, or have leadership capability.
