We need diverse children aged seven and older of all experience levels, as well as one adult of any gender, for this ACT Youth Theatre Production. The adult role is for “The Aviator,” and requires movement experience. In addition to Little Prince and Rose, there are several speaking roles and many ensemble parts for children in this production based on the classic story.
Auditions for this show are different from standard auditions and are formatted as a mini theatre workshop. Kids auditioning will need to stay at The Arts Center for the two-hour duration of the workshop (from 2 pm to 4 pm). The workshop will include group exercises in movement, drawing, and theatre games, during which the leadership team will make casting choices. We want to take the pressure off young performers—no matter how much stage time they’ve had. This audition will be a fun, educational experience regardless of the outcome of auditions. We hope your kid will come join in the fun!
Auditions for The Aviator (the adult role, for any gender) are at 4pm both days and will consist of cold reads from the script and repeating choreographed movement.
The Little Prince, by Rick Cummins and John Scoullar from the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is an imaginative and dynamic adaptation of the French novella that awakens the child in all. This play provides an extraordinary experience for young creatives to learn a variety of theatre art skills and techniques and perform in a captivating production in a professional setting.
The Little Prince is directed by ACT veteran, Colby Pilkey with choreography by ACT veteran Kelly Borwick. Cynthia McCowan is producer. Anyone interested in working with the production in any capacity (set & costume construction, technical crew, backstage crew) is encouraged to attend an audition.
The Little Prince is sponsored by Domino’s.
