Casting Call: 'The Fantasticks'

PinnWorth of Kelsey Theater will hold auditions for "The Fantasticks" weekend after next.

The show is about a boy, a girl, two fathers and a wall. The narrator, El Gallo, asks the audience to use their imagination and follow him into a world of moonlight and magic. The boy and the girl fall in love, grow apart, and finally find their way back to each other after realizing the truth in El Gallo's words that "without a hurt, the heart is hollow".

Auditionees should prepare 16-32 bars of music and a two-to-three-minute monologue, not from the show, that reflects whichever character they choose to audition for. A resumé is also advisable.

Auditions will take place in two sessions from 7-8:30 p.m. and from 8:30-10 p.m. July 6 and 7. Callbacks will occur from 7-10 p.m. July 8. Summer rehersals are flexible, with no weekends. The show will run Fridays through Sundays Sept. 25 through Oct. 4. The show will be directed by LouJ Stalsworth.
