Fly space high above the stage and a pipe grid over the audience will carry a new lighting and sound system and provide us with technical possibilities we’ve never had. We seek a large cast of 50 or more diverse children, teens and adults to embody a story that’s more than a funny fairy tale. Cast members will “let their freak flag fly” while exploring the poignancy as well as the fun in this energetic comedy. Persons of all ages, ethnicities, genders, sizes and physical abilities or challenges are encouraged to audition. There are multiple principle roles and the company plays a large range of characters, including fairy-tale creatures, an angry mob, guards, rats, knights and many more! Huge production numbers throughout.
