Davidson Community Players Hold Open Auditions for It’s a Wonderful Life
Davidson Community Players announces open auditions for its December production of It’s a Wonderful Life, a radio play by Joe Landry. Auditions will be held Thursday, October 23 from 7-9pm and Sunday, October 26 from 7-9pm at the Armour Street Theatre located at 307 Armour Street in Davidson. Auditionees only need to come one night, but should plan to arrive at the start of the audition and stay for the entire session. Actors at all levels of experience are encouraged to attend. Please bring a resume or a list of your contact information and your theatre experience, a recent photo and a list of all of your conflicts. Rehearsals will begin in November. No prior acting experience is required and novice actors are encouraged to audition. The production will run December 4-21.
This enduring and endearing holiday classic reminds us the worth each life holds-that even the least important moment to one person may have the greatest influence on others. It’s A Wonderful Life brings to stage one such tale as George Bailey who doesn't get a single thing he wants out of life and winds up being the richest man in town.
Roles include:
Actors must be comfortable playing a wide range of ages and characters. As we will be performing as a radio play with scripts in hand, memorization is not necessary.
• Freddie Filmore: Announcer, Gower, Potter, Billy, Joseph, Peter Bailey, Ernie, Old Man Collins, Ed, Pete, Man at Martini’s, Nick, Bridge Keeper, Binky, and Cop
• Jake Laurents: George Bailey (and young George)
