Hobblog #5 – Casting Call

Open that calendar and get out those pens! You’re going to want to write this down.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Youth Theatre, the George Daily Auditorium is looking for performers to cast in its upcoming production of The Hobbit.

We will need to fill the following types of roles:

  1. Live performers – These are the traditional performers. You get a script, memorize your lines, and rehearse the part.
  2. Action performers – These performers might have a few lines, but their main job is learning stunts, combat, or any other action in the script.
  3. Puppeteers – These performers manipulate different-sized puppets for some of the other creatures in Middle Earth (trolls, spiders, dragons, etc.)
  4. Live voice performer – Some puppets may be voiced live, but the voice performer won’t necessarily be moving the puppet.
  5. Recorded voice performer – We may have some parts of the show pre-recorded and edited for use during the performance.
  6. Stagehands and technicians – These parts are going to be what makes the magic happen. We need various dedicated stagehands and technicians to aid our design team in bringing the world of Middle Earth to Life.

You’ve had plenty of time to get that calendar out! Here are the deets…

Auditions are open to all ages on Saturday, March 23, from 2 pm to 5 pm and Monday, March 25, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.

You don’t need to be there the whole time, and we’ll create audition slots for available people in 10-20-minute chunks. Just be there some time between 2 pm and 5 pm or 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm, respectfully.

If you can’t make either day, we’ll be accepting individual appointments until the end of Thursday, March 28.
