AUDITIONS
Little Brother tryouts
The Weekend Theater will hold auditions for Little Brother, adapted by Josh Costello from the novel by Cory Doctorow involving San Francisco teenagers who, while skipping school and playing an alternate reality game, end up in the middle of a terrorist attack and on the wrong side of the Department of Homeland Security, 10 a.m. June 24 and 6 p.m. June 25 at the theater, West Seventh and Chester streets, Little Rock.
Directors Ryan Whitfield and Jason Green will cast four principal teens and a "diverse ensemble" of eight to 15 high school students, some of whom will play supporting characters, via readings from the script (available online at weekendtheater.org/news-events/auditions). The show includes a scene with a punk rock band, so auditioners who play appropriate instruments should supply them. Provide a head shot. Auditioners need attend only one session.
Production dates are Sept. 15-16, 22-24 and 28-30. Rehearsals start Aug. 12. Email Whitfield at ryanwhitfield43@yahoo.com or Green at jasonkgreen@gmail.com.
