Garrison Players, the Dover area’s all-volunteer community theatre group, will hold open auditions for The Beckoning, on two Saturdays - February 4 and 11, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Garrison Players Arts Center, Route 4 in Rollinsford.
Imagine if "The Daily Show" merged with "The Capitol Steps," and you'll have a pretty good idea of what The Beckoning is about - a hilarious send-up of the state of the world today and a lot of fun to be a part of.
Political comedy programs by Dan Bernard and Program Already in Progress, similar to The Beckoning have been featured on radio, as well as on stage in Portland, ME, Boston and Toronto.
The Beckoning will be staged on April 14, 2012, and calls for actors who are comfortable playing comedy, or would like to try their hand at it. All songs are parodies of well-known popular songs from the 1960's to today. This is a fun show that calls for a collaborative spirit, sense of play and an open mind. We are seeking adult actors of any age, male and female, to play various roles. An ability to sing and dance is a plus. (A must for some roles)
Auditioners are asked to bring a piece to read or perform, as well as sheet music, or a simple song to perform a cappella.
Garrison Players is a nonprofit, volunteer-based community theatre group dedicated to enriching the cultural life of the area by presenting high-quality theatrical performances geared for family audiences. Established in 1953, the players encourage people of all ages to enjoy and participate in the many facets of the performing arts; and to help maintain the Garrison Players Arts Center.
