WE ARE OPENING JULY 5!!!
AUDITIONS FOR “THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE” AT THEATRE 29
After a pandemic-induced delay of about almost fifteen months, Theatre 29 will hold auditions for open roles in the drama “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. This dramatization of C.S. Lewis’ classic, set in the magical land of Narnia, faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion; his struggle with the White Witch; and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting never-to-be-forgotten Narnia.
Auditions will be held on Monday, July 5th at 6:00pm on the Theatre 29 Main Stage (73637 Sullivan Road, Twentynine Palms). Artistic Director Char Childs is looking for an active and ethnically diverse group (especially kids!) to join her in this very physical and magical production. This story will be told with a rich mix of drama and movement. Makeup, costumes, and changes in physicality will represent the various creatures of Narnia.
The roles of The White Witch, Mrs. Beaver, Tumnus & Fenris Ulf have been precast. The creative team is looking to cast the roles of Aslan, The four Pevensie children: Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter, Mr. Beaver, The Centaur, The Dwarf, Father Christmas and his elf, The White Stag, 4 Woodland Creatures & 5 Wood Nymphs. Roles for children are available. Rehearsals will be Monday - Friday from 6:00 - 9:00 July 6 – August 19.
