• Need one “WILL-CALL TICKETS” person per show to sit at table in lobby and look up alphabetically filed envelopes containing tickets that were pre-ordered. Give the tickets to the patron and deal with any questions which arise. Direct them to the door to the ticket taker.
• Need two “SELL TICKETS AT DOOR” people to sit at table in lobby and sell tickets to folks who come to purchase tickets that night. This involves pre-learning the computer ticketing system!!! It also will involve money handling and resolution.

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe

Audition and Tech Information

First, we are doing the JOSEPH ROBINETTE version of the play.  On YouTube, there are several others--but they are not availabe in the United States for licensing.  This video link provides a look at one production of the script we are doing, though the blocking and choreography will vary in ours.  It gives you an idea.

Here is a preliminary chart of characters and what scenes they are in.  Remember, most anyone not in a main role will be busy playing multiple parts.

Next, DOWNLOAD AUDITION INFO handout + AUDITION FORM IF AUDITIONING FOR ACTING ROLE.  DOWNLOAD Audition Info Handout AND TECH CREW APPLICATION IF INTERVIEWING FOR A TECHNICAL CREW ROLE.
