AXIS THEATRE COMPANY is holding auditions for its new Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) play HAMELIN: A NEW FABLE by Leslie Mildiner. The play is a retelling of the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin and will be directed by incoming Artistic Director Chris McGregor with original musical composition by Bob Buckley.

We are specifically looking for artists who have strong musicianship and can play wind instruments: flute/recorder, penny whistle, horns and/or violin, guitar and keyboard/accordion. We expect to cast  people who are proficient on one or more musical instrument and can sing as well as act. This a very musical production so versatility within the cast is required. Each performer will also use physical theatre skills and be responsible for puppet manipulation. There will likely be masks used in the play.

There is a one week workshop early to mid-November dates TBA.
Rehearsals begin the week of January 12, 2015 exact date TBA.
The play will tour to BC elementary schools and community theatres until late April 2015. There is a cast of 5 and one stage manager.  

Equity members will be seen first at all open audition calls. Equity members cast in this production will be engaged under an Equity form of contract. CAEA members: please bring your membership card to the audition.
