Casting Call: 'Rapunzarella White'

Cranford Dramatic Club will hold auditions for the fractured-fairy-tale-style "Rapunzarella White" next week.

Herschel the fairy tailor tells the tale of triplets Rapunzel, Cinderella and Snow White, born to Queen Millicent and her slimy Frog Prince, who hopped off long ago. They are torn asunder by a witch’s curse and brought back together by the true love of their princes.

Auditionees should prepare an upbeat, non-pop song and their resumé.

Parts in the show include the narrator, the fairy tailor dwarf Herschel (30s-60s); Queen Millicent, the princesses' mother (30s-50s); the queen's evil sister Witch Winifred, or Winnie (30s-50s); the three princesses Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Snow White (16-25); and their princes the slightly clumsy Burly Bob, Prince Valiant-type Beau, and bookish Barry (16-25). Members of the ensemble will play the princes' father King Rosenbutter (40s-60s), their mother Queen Rhoda (40s-60s); Cinderella's stepmother Gilda (40s-60s); her stepsisters Greta and Gertrude (16-25), and her 'fabulous' fairy god-brother Syd (20s-30s); as well as townsfolk, guests at the ball, fairies, and dwarves (8-80).

Auditions will take place at 7:30 p.m. September 14 and 16. Performances will occur December 4, 5 and 6.
