Willy Wonka callbacks

Great auditions everyone! We had 58 people audition, which is an amazing turnout! So, as you can imagine I have a lot of decisions to make. Following is the list of people I would like to see at call backs. Again, please remember that just because your name is not on this list does not mean that you will not be cast. These are just people I need to see again. I will keep everyone updated through this blog on the casting progress.

Tues. March 22 Rehearsal VS. Ice Storm

Tues. March 22 Rehearsal: please come at 6 pm., we will do some makeup, and run the 6 set changes, and start a run thru at 6:30. The run through will be done at 7:30, notes , and then plan on being released at 8. Any one who wants to stay past 8 CAN STAY, and I will run fight scene. This is in case the weather does what they are predicting, and if we want to leave before it gets too bad. (Nick is excused)

If you are one of the people who didn't get back to me to come by 6, go ahead, 6:30 is OK, but we will do your make-up after the run thru, unless the weather is bad, then we will just do your makeup the day of the show.

Also, if Caledonia does NOT have school on Wed., then we don't have a play on Wed. No matter what else is happening, if Caledonia has school on Wed., then report to the PAC on Wed.

If Caledonia does NOT have school on Wed., then we will have the play on Thursday and Sat.

Rehearsals

* To finish out the rest of the week, we have Mole/Toad/Badger/Rat on Thursday, in room 512, the driver Ed room.

Full cast on Friday from 7-9, in the PAC.

SAT. March 5, NOTE CHANGE - Rehearsal will be from 1-4 in the PAC. Email me if you can't make it because I changed the time on you.

Remember now is the time to memorize lines, and work on those characters and "bits" we talked about. The more ideas the better!

And before rehearsal time you can do the breathing excercises and tongue twisters.

CAST NEEDS

Here's an idea of what kind of parts there are available for Mr. Toad's Mad Adventures, with an idea of the age range. Teen parts can be about 8th grade students up to adults. Child parts can be played by anyone, children on up, AND even adults. I encourage everyone to try-out. If you are only interested in certain parts, there is an audition form on the web site, and at auditions, where you can indicate your preferences. I appreciate everyone who trys out, the more people - the stronger our theater group becomes.


The 4 friends:

Toad: Adult, Shakesperian singer
Mole: Teen, Timid, "follow the rules" animal
Rat: Teen, Adventurer, Boater
Badger: Teen, Wise, slow to anger, but ferocious when needed

Mice: Children, Citizens of the country, cheerful, but afraid of weasels

Housekeeper/Nurse: Teen, Housekeeper for Toad Mansion

Chief Weasel, Teen, the chief bad guy
Weasels: Children. The bad guys.

Other than the above, there are numerous other characters that appear for 1 or 2 lines, and then go off stage. I will be casting and combining these roles.
