Call for Acting Talent for Historic Site in Hanover County

We are looking for actors to portray "living characters" for one week during the month of March (March 12-16) as elementary students visit our historic site.  Each character will wear period costume and deliver a presentation of approximately 8 minutes, twice a day, for five days.  We are in need of actors to play Patrick Henry, a slave named Thornton (who was a blacksmith and a lead conspirator in a planned slave uprising), and a lively individual to portray a Tavern Keeper.  Auditions for these parts will be held in February (date TBD) and selected actors will be compensated $250 for the week.  In addition, we are in need of understudies for these same three roles.  Understudies must attend 2 of the 5 performance days and be available to step into the role on any of the 5 days.  We are also seeking two individuals to serve as "acting coaches", helping students to engage with the script during a brief reader's theater performance twice each day.  Understudies and acting coaches will be compensated $100 for the week.  Interested actors should reply to lovebooks@happyreading.org.  We look forward to your response.


I appreciate your posting this.  In addition, I wonder if you know of anyone with costuming talent who might consult with us about wardrobe.  Eager to hear from you and from talented individuals in your department, as well.

Best
Angie Miles
