10-MINUTE PLAY FESTIVAL
Auditions April 11 & 12 at 1:00 pm
Show dates: May 22, 23 and 24
The Little Theatre of New Smyrna Beach is thrilled to announce auditions for our first ever 10-Minute Play Festival! We are seeking passionate and dedicated actors to bring a diverse range of characters to life across eight exciting works, all written by Florida Playwrights. Each actor will be featured in one to two plays. This festival celebrates a unique opportunity for performers to collaborate with emerging directors.
What to Expect: Auditions will consist of a cold reading from sides of the festival scripts. This will allow directors to see how you interpret new material and interact with other actors. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to audition times to complete any necessary paperwork.
We are seeking actors of all ages, genders, and ethnicities for a variety of roles. Rehearsals will be one day a week until May 4th. Rehearsals will be set up once the shows are cast and based on your director.
We look forward to seeing your talent!
