Auditions for Wind in the Willows
Auditions for Wind in the Willows will be held on Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 10 am at North Raleigh Arts & Creative Theatre. Call backs will be held on Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 10 am.
Please prepare a one minute monologue and 16 bars of a song. A pianist will not be available. You may sing acappella or bring an accompaniment CD. Also, please bring a recent photo and resume, if available.
This musical tells the story of the friendship of the good-hearted Water Rat, the shy and curious Mole, and the sensible Badger. What tests that friendship are the antics of Mr. Toad, a wily and impulsive animal given to sudden crazes such as stealing motor cars and driving them recklessly around the countryside. Their task is to save Toad from himself and then rescue the magnificent Toad Hall from the devious weasels, ferrets and stoats.
A note from the director:
Although many of the characters are animals, there will be no attempt to costume them as such. All actors will be costumed in standard early 20th century garb. The roles are fun and well written and will challenge both your creativity and acting abilities. Age requirements are suggested ages only and may be changed at the discretion of the director. I encourage actors of all ages to audition for this fun filled musical.
Roles:
Mole – Male or Female – Older teen or young adult
Rat – Male or Female – Older teen or adult.
Otter – Male – Older teen or adult.
Toad – Male – Older teen or adult.
Badger – Male or Female – Older teen or adult.
Billy Hedgehog – Male – 7-14
Randolf Hedgehog – Male – 7-14
Mice – Female – 7-14
Margaret – Female – 7-18
Aunt – Female – Older teen or adult.
Additional actors to play a variety of roles.

Male African-American Actor Sought
I am directing a staged reading of My Children, My Africa in March and I am looking for an older African American male to play the part of the school teacher Mr. M. He could be anywhere from 40-50. The play takes place in South Africa so someone handy with dialects would be an extra bonus!!
Send any suggestions my way!
Thanks,
Kathy Williams (khwillia@email.unc.edu)
