[Rachael Endrizzi]

Spark Theatre Company & Lorain County Community College announces
non-equity auditions for its upcoming production of *The Imaginators*, to
be rehearsed safely and filmed once for schools to use as a virtual field
trip. Spark is seeking 1 performer for this production.


*The Imaginators*, by Dwayne Hartford is the story of three children and
the power of imagination. Anne and Tim have just moved to a new town and
struggle to make new friends. Through a new neighbor, the children discover
their own strengths, the value of cooperation, and the unlimited power of
their imaginations as they figure out how to defeat an imaginary monster!
The play reminds children and adults alike never to lose their sense of
play and creativity.


*AVAILABLE ROLE:*

*ACTOR- *Open to all ethnicities and types. Seeking 1 actor to play the
role of Nina’s older teenage brother (or sister) who spends much of their
time looking for Nina. Nina hides from her sibling, telling her new friends
they are actually a monster in disguise. In the end, this character is a
pretty normal older sibling. Please note, adult actors are cast for this
production. Actors submitting do not ACTUALLY have to be teenagers.
