SUMMARY:Into the Woods AUDITIONS
DESCRIPTION:Into the Woods\nMusic and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM\nBook by JAMES LAPINE\nDirected by Jonathan O’Harrow\n  \nOpen Auditions: December 3 & 4 @ 6:00pm\n\nPerformances: May 2\, 3 & 4 @ 7:30pm and May 5 @ 2:00pm\n  \nOpen auditions for Altoona Community Theatre’s production of “Into the Woods\,” with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine\, will be held Sunday and Monday\, December 3 and 4\, beginning 6:00 p.m. in the Altoona Community Theatre Rehearsal Hall\, 1213 12th Street\, Downtown Altoona. \nAuditions will consist of singing and cold readings from the script. Auditionees need only attend one night unless asked to attend callbacks\, expected to be held December 7. Auditionees should be 14 years of age or older and prepare a 32-bar cut of a song (no longer than two minutes) from the show or from another musical. If singing a song from another show\, please bring sheet music for the accompanist. \nActors must be available for all performances (May 2-5\, 2024). Availability for rehearsals will be asked at auditions. Please be prepared to list all conflicts from auditions to performance dates. Rehearsals are expected to begin either the week of March 17 or March 24 with some possible work to begin as early as January. \nIf you are unable to attend general auditions\, please contact the ACT Office at least a week in advance to discuss scheduling an alternative audition time. \n  \nAbout the Show \n“Into the Woods” is a musical that weaves together various fairy tales\, primarily centered around a Baker and his Wife\, who long for a child. They embark on a quest to break a curse placed on them by a wicked Witch\, requiring them to gather items from different fairy tales\, such as Cinderella’s slipper\, Little Red Riding Hood’s cape\, Rapunzel’s hair\, and Jack’s cow. \nAs the characters journey “into the woods” to fulfill their wishes\, they encounter various challenges\, moral dilemmas\, and consequences of their actions. The musical explores themes of desire\, responsibility\, the consequences of one’s choices\, and the idea that “wishes come true\, not free.” \nAs the story progresses\, the characters’ lives become increasingly entangled\, leading to unexpected consequences and tragedies. Eventually\, they must confront the consequences of their actions and work together to overcome an even greater threat. \n  \n  \nCast of Characters (in order of appearance) \n There are 19 roles available\, including the following: \n  \nNarrator/Mysterious Man\nAn intellectual and pleasant storyteller who helps to orchestrate the show and illustrate lessons to the audience.
