Theatre--Auditions

The Opelousas Little Theatre is hosting a rare event, a casting call for 2 shows:  Showcase 2010 and Jekyll and Hyde the Musical.

The auditions will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (December 7th, 8th and 9th) from 6 to 8 pm and on Saturday, December 12th from 2 to 4 pm.  

Singers, actors, accompaniment (piano, violin, etc. and others), and crew are all being sought for both shows.  Community theatre is made up of more that just stage performance. So, even for those with stage fright or those who don't want to be onstage, there are opportunities to be involved.

For those interested in Jekyll and Hyde, please come prepared with a song (with music or accapella) and a monologue. Some may also be asked to do a cold read; scripts will be avaliable.  It is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story about a brilliant doctor whose experiments with human personality create a murderous counterpart. It's a great story set to even greater music. Jekyll and Hyde, the Musical will be running during the last three weekends in March. Ages 15 and up are urged to audition, depending on vocal maturity.


For those interested in the Showcase, please come with an idea of what you would like to perform for showcase.  Showcase 2010 is the OLT's annual talent/variety show. Not only is it a chance for local performance artists to show off their stuff, it's a chance for the theatre to scout for new local talent for future productions.Skits and group songs may also be avaliable.  Showcase 2010 will run the last 2 weekends in January. 
 
Auditioners can audition for both shows.
 
One very exciting note is that the Opelousas Little Theatre has obtained a performance space at the newly renovated Delta Grand in downtown Opelousas. Jekyll and Hyde, the Musical will be the first of many productions performed in this amazingly restored and modern facility.
