[NEohioPAL] PLAYERS GUILD THEATRE AUDITIONS: CHARLOTTE'S WEB

[Joshua Erichsen]

January 28, 2014


*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*




*THE PLAYERS GUILD ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR CHARLOTTE'S WEB*



The Players Guild Theatre announces upcoming auditions for their Family
Theatre production of CHARLOTTE'S WEB, under the direction of Cassey Martin.



The Children's Literature Association named CHARLOTTE'S WEB "the best
American children's book of the past two hundred years."   In this charming
play adaptation, all of the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the
irresistible young pig; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to
each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat; the Zuckerman family 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.



Auditions will be held at the Players Guild Theatre on Sunday, February 9th
from 6:30 - 8:30 PM and Monday, February 10th from 7:00 - 9:00 PM.  All
roles are available for both children and adults, ages 7 and up.  Interested
parties should sign up for a preferred half hour time slot by leaving a
message at the Players Guild Theatre Box Office, 330.453.7617 or by filling
out the available online form at www.playersguildtheatre.com.  Those
auditioning are asked to please bring a current headshot and resume (if
