Come audition for Paradise Park Zoo! Auditions are today and tomorrow, so come sign up before it’s too late! We are looking for actors of any kind! Don’t worry if you’ve never acted or done anything theater-related before! We want to see you give a try, no matter who you are!
There are three different types of ways you can audition! Pick only ONE, whichever makes you feel most comfortable. The auditions are Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th, so sign up for only ONE of those days.
1. GROUP AUDITIONS: prepare a 20-second movement sequence inspired by a Zoo animal. Be prepared to play some improv games and read a few sides from the script!
2. INDIVIDUAL AUDITION: prepare any 40-60 second piece. You can use a poem, a monologue, or anything else you like. Individual auditioners can bring a text piece and a song, as long as they are under 2 minutes combined!
3. MUSICIAN AUDITION: To be a musician on this piece, bring your own instrument! A piano will be provided. Please bring a piece of contemporary music (pop, house, rock, or anything you might hear at a bar, including self-written work!)
The sign up sheet is up on the theater’s doors in Foss AND online! (See link)
Auditions will take place in Foss Theater!
Overview:
The animals at the zoo are very busy—experimenting with meditation, processing their relationships, honing their wilderness survival skills, hosting community meetings, arguing about doors. No one is talking about the cages. The cages are not important- or are they?
We hope to see you there! ⭐️
