[NEohioPAL] Seeking Adult & Children Actors - UNDERGROUND RAILROAD PROGRAM - Hale Farm and Village

[KFitzgerald]

RE:      Educational Acting Opportunity at Hale Farm and Village
 
 
We are currently seeking *volunteer actors of all ethnicities, Grades 4 – Adult, 
to portray dramatic roles for our upcoming scripted educational program:  A 
Fugitive’s Path: Escape on the Underground Railroad being held at Hale Farm and 
Village in Bath, Ohio.
 
In addition to learning more behind the history of The Underground Railroad, 
some actors will find themselves with the opportunity, as an abolitionist, to 
befriend and assist “slaves” on their journey towards freedom, while other 
actors may portray the role of an escaped slave, or even a slave catcher.
 
The schedule for “A Fugitive’s Path:  Escape on the Underground Railroad” for 
2011 is as follows:                       

February 22 – 25, daytime
                        February 25 – 26, evening
 
                        March 1 – 4, 7 – 10, 22 – 25, 28 – 31, daytime
                        March 4 – 5, 25 – 26, evening
 
                        April 1, 4 – 8, 11 – 15, daytime
                        April 1 – 2, 8 – 9, 15 – 16, evening
 
We understand our student actors are unable to miss several weeks of school.  
Last year, our student actors “shared” a role and chose one day a week to 
perform, and some students also performed during the evening program.   
Depending on the school groups scheduled for the day, actors typically arrive at 
Hale Farm and Village at 8:00a.m. and are finished by 2:00p.m..  During the 
evening program, actors can typically expect to arrive by 5:00p.m. and are 
finished by 10:00p.m..
 
The Underground Railroad Program is a wonderful educational opportunity, where 
both the actors and individuals in attendance leave with an appreciation of our 
freedom, and a deeper understanding of the events which ultimately led to the 
American Civil War.

*Actors who are able and willing to work all or most program dates may be 
compensated.
