Acceptance into this production will be on a first-come-first-served basis. Children of ACT Board members are granted a limited early registration period. All ACTors accepted into the production must take part in an audition workshop to determine where they best fit into the production. Specific roles will be assigned at the sole discretion of the artistic staff/audition panel.
A draft of the full rehearsal schedule will be available after registration closes. ACTors will only be required for rehearsals where their character is called. Absences are strongly discouraged, and more than two absences during the staging of any single scene will result in the ACTor being cut from the scene. Attendance is mandatory for all runs, technical and dress rehearsals from MONDAY July 15th ONWARD unless written permission from the artistic director is requested and received, prior to the audition workshop. All actors and one parent must attend an informational meeting on Wednesday, May 22nd where we will share more details about the production, the audition process and begin sign-ups for volunteer committees.
All registration and audition forms (audition, measurement, health, liability and behavior) must be completed and received by Tuesday, May 21st. All payments are due by Monday, June 3rd.
Further audition workshop information and scheduling will be provided after registration is closed.
As is our standard policy, final casting decisions will not be made until after the first week of rehearsals. The staff will use this time to get to know the cast and explore the show.
If you have any questions about registration, please email actauditions2019@gmail.com.
With its poignant story and catchy Caribbean-flavored score, Once on This Island JR. is a highly original theatrical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s popular fairy tale, The Little Mermaid, and the Tony-nominated Broadway musical by the legendary writing team, Ahrens and Flaherty.
Through almost non-stop song and dance, this full-hearted musical tells the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of her island. When Daniel is returned to his people, the fantastical gods who rule the island guide Ti Moune on a quest that will test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred and even death.
Offstage opportunities are available for all our productions. Contact us for more information.
