Auditions for Charlotte's Web
Beaverton Civic Theatre will hold open auditions for Charlotte‘s Web. Auditions will be held Wednesday, March 4 from 6:30 to 8 PM and Saturday, March 7 from 3 to 4:30 PM at Beaverton Library Auditorium 12375 SE 5th Street, Beaverton 97005.
Roles are available for both adults and children. No appointment needed and it is not necessary to attend both audition dates. Please arrive at the beginning of auditions and plan to stay the entire time. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
Performances are April 25, 26, May 2, and May 3.
If you are interested in Beaverton Civic Theatre, auditioning for Charlotte‘s Web, or volunteering for the production, you are invited to attend a Meet and Greet with Director Stacey Howland on Wednesday, February 25 at 6 PM at Beaverton City Library Auditorium. 12375 SW 5th Street, Beaverton 97005. Contact Beaverton Civic Theatre at [email protected] or 503-754-9866 with any questions.
The most enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig, who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be a “true friend, and a good writer.” Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the “miracle” of her web in which she writes “Some Pig”. It’s the beginning of a victorious campaign, which ultimately ends with the now safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte.
This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will give your actors, a great opportunity and your audience and evening of enchantment. It’s the story and the relationships that make the show.
