After last year’s successful production of Hansel and Gretel in An Grianan Theatre, Letterkenny, c21 return with Little Red Riding Hood and is delighted to announce that it will, for the first time, introduce children in their Christmas production! This year c21 Theatre Company are giving new life to this classic story.
The company are looking for 6 children between the ages of 9 and 12 to rotate the roles of the Three Little Pigs, who will appear in the Little Red Riding Hood story, from 17th-22nd December 2012. This is a perfect opportunity if you have a child who is outgoing, confident, and eager to work as part of a team. Some singing/dancing/acting experience is necessary.
Your child must be willing to work alongside other children and professional actors to create a piece of theatre in a short rehearsal period and then take part in some performances throughout the run.
The Performances will take place in An Grianan Theatre, Letterkenny. Auditions will be held on Sat Oct 27th from 1.30pm in An Grianan Theatre and auditionees will be seen on a first come first serve basis. If you believe that your child would enjoy and learn from this experience, then come along and try out. Please prepare a song and short monologue.
There will also be an open audition, in the form of a two hour workshop on the 27th of October, for roles in the upcoming production of Brian Friel’s The Freedom of the City.
The workshop will take place in the Regional Cultural Centre in Letterkenny and there are two different time slots, 11 ’til 1pm and 2pm ’til 4pm. Both men and women are sought for these parts.
This production is part of An Grianán’s Customs’ Crossings series, which also includes performances of Idan Meir’s Bassam and other works such as Bag of Queens by Little John Nee.
This series of projects is being part-financed by the European Union’s Regional Development Fund through the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation managed for the Special EU Programmes Body by Donegal County Council.
