*WHO ATE THE SUN* By Erin E. Dolan Directed by Rachael Endrizzi Lorain County Community College theatre program and Spark Theatre Company announce non-equity auditions for “Who Ate The Sun,” a new take on the timeless tale. Fascinated by stars and planets, Ash loves to study the sky. One afternoon on a walk through the neighborhood, the sun disappears entirely! Follow their journey as Ash and some animal friends ask, “Who ate the sun?” This play is a World Premiere Production, written by Cleveland playwright, Erin E. Dolan, especially for this spring's solar eclipse! Copies of the script will be on reserve at the LCCC Bass Library until the audition dates. Digital copies for perusal may also be obtained by emailing sparktheatre4youth@gmail.com. WHO: Auditions are open to all LCCC students and staff, as well as actors from the community. We are seeking actors of all types for performances at LCCC Stocker Arts Center’s Cirigliano Theatre, as well as actors to travel with the show on tour to schools in May. Actors do NOT need to be available for the tour to audition. We will likely have a larger cast for the LCCC April public performances, and a select group of actors to double roles for the May tour. Actors may be considered for both options but have the option to audition for just one or the other. WHAT: Auditions will be held in 5-minute time slots. You will be asked to read from available sides at the audition. If available, please bring one copy of your headshot and resume to the audition. AUDITION DATES: Sunday, January 21, 2024 from 2 pm – 4 pm and Monday, January 22, 2024 from 7 pm – 9 pm Callbacks will be held Wednesday, January 24 from 7pm-9pm, as needed.

TOURING PERFORMANCE DATES: May 1-26, 2024. To be considered for the touring portion of this production, actors should have reasonable availability or flexibility during school hours from May 1-26, some conflicts are fine, and tours will be scheduled around actor availability. The tour is expected to perform approximately 15-20 performances throughout the month of May to schools in NE Ohio.
