"It's a Wonderful Life" Auditions Announced
Whidbey Playhouse proudly announces the upcoming auditions of the heart-warming family holiday classic, It's a Wonderful Life. This wholesome Christmas story follows Frank Capra's original movie adaptation and captures our imaginations, our hopes and our dreams, as all of us search our own souls along with George Bailey. Set in 1945, in the charming upstate New York town of Bedford Falls, we see the Bailey family's struggle to provide decent low-cost housing to their fellow townsmen. Add to this the mean Mr. Potter, whose only desire is to thwart the Baileys plans; and, a bumbling angel named Clarence who is trying to earn his wings. After a death in the family and an unfortunate monetary twist, George is left questioning and examining his life and the importance of it. Will George's faith in humankind be restored? Will Clarence, the wayward wanna-be angel, finally receive his wings?
And, most importantly, would you like to be a part of this fun production either as an actor or as a behind the scenes crew member? Or, have you always harbored a hidden desire to be onstage but thought you'd never be able to learn your lines? Then, this is the perfect play for you to "earn your acting wings" as this is a large cast of 12 men and 10 women of varying ages with a number of the roles with limited dialogue. The perfect scenario for a new actor!
You will be surrounded by WP seasoned actors and a Director and an Assistant Director who will make your first step a memorable one. OR, also being offered will be several walk-on no dialogue roles. Plus, did we mention that there are four roles for children: 2 boys, ages 7 -12; and for 2 girls, ages 5 -11? So, you see, there is no reason for you not to come and join us and be a part of our Whidbey Playhouse holiday show. Make this a new family holiday experience you will never forget!!
