Students and community members alike are welcome to attend auditions on either or both evenings. All roles are open regardless of gender, identity, or expression. This is a comedy, so auditioners should come with energy and a sense of fun. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Sides will be provided. Six or seven actors will be cast to play 20+ characters.
Synopsis: Two narrators along with a ragtag group of actors attempt to recreate all 209 of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in a wild, fast-paced extravaganza. To make it more difficult, they attempt to combine them into one gigantic fable using Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and other more obscure stories like Lean Lisa and The Devil's Grandmother.
