Sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050f4daeaa2faafe3-letters
Auditions are May 28th and 29th at Koelbel Library. Those who cannot make it are welcome to send in a video audition!
Callbacks will be held on May 29th. Not everybody will be required to come to callbacks.
Compensation: All proceeds go to charity, so roles are volunteer positions. However, actors will receive IMDb credit for behind-the-scenes promotional videos, and we would be happy to work with actors to provide anything else we can.
Prepare: Actors should prepare a 45-60 second contemporary monologue, dramatic or comedic. Actors submitting a video audition should do both a comedic and a dramatic monologue.
ROLES:
Gabriella (F, 7-18)- Letters follows Gabriella as she grows up. Gabriella will be played by five actors portraying her at different ages.
Alex (M, 9-18)- Gabriella’s best friend. Alex will be played by three actors portraying him at various ages.
Jennifer (F, 30-50)- Gabriella’s mom. She does everything she can to protect Gabriella.
Christopher (M, 30-50)- Gabriella’s dad. Fun-loving but caring.
Grandma (F, 55-75)- Mom to Jennifer and grandmother to Gabriella. Classic cookie-baking, grandchild-spoiling grandmother.
Grandpa (M, 55-75)- Dad to Jennifer and grandfather to Gabriella. Him and Gabriella are especially close.
Adults (M or F, 19-70)- Seeking 5-10 additional adults to play various supporting and featured roles including family members, doctors, and nurses.
Kids (M or F, 6-18)- Seeking 5-10 additional children to play various supporting and featured roles including friends, cousins, and students.
3-Year-Old Gabriella (F, 3-5)- Also seeking a little girl to play the 3 year old version of the lead. She will only be in one scene and will need to be at one rehearsal plus a tech rehearsal. Girls who fit this role don't need to attend auditions, please email letterstheplay@gmail.com if interested.
