John David Brown is the Director. Auditions will consist of readings from the script. The director is looking for 10-12 cast members ages 6-18.
This is a brand new adaptation of the beloved fairytale classic. It will be a mix of acting, puppetry, storytelling, and theatre magic!
The Green Room Community Theatre is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion. As such, we encourage performers of all races and ethnicities, gender identities, sexualities, abilities, and ages, to attend every audition.
You must be available for all performances. Please bring your list of rehearsal conflicts with you. You MUST be able to attend all of the tech week (the week before the show opens) unless in rare emergency cases an exception is approved before being cast by the director.
Character Breakdown:
