The Syracuse Stage artistic team is searching for talented local youth actors for performance opportunities in the upcoming productions of Thornton Wilder’s American classic “Our Town,” and the world premiere of “Tender Rain,” by Kyle Wright, Syracuse Stage’s resident playwright.

Auditioners should note that the production schedule for “Our Town” includes three student matinees in the morning, in addition to evening performances. The “Our Town” production runs March 29-April 16, while “Tender Rain” runs May 3-21.

Cast members must be available for rehearsals at Syracuse Stage, which begin March 7 for “Our Town,” and April 4 for “Tender Rain.” Rehearsals are not held on Mondays. Young actors will not be required to be at all rehearsals. Rehearsals for youth actors will generally be held on weekdays after 4 p.m. and during the daytime on weekends.

“Our Town”
By Thornton Wilder, directed by Robert Hupp
Seeking casting for:
Wally Webb: Any ethnicity, young boy aged 11 to 13, a Boy Scout. Sincere and friendly.
Rebecca Gibbs: Any ethnicity, young girl aged 11 to 13. Has a strong sense of energy and wonder about the world. Inquisitive and curious.

“Tender Rain”
By Kyle Bass, directed by Rodney Hudson
Seeking casting for:
Deirdre: Black female, age 12. Scared but brave. Longs to return home. Also plays Aralia: Black female, age 11. The Doctor’s daughter. Shy. Smart. Neat as a pin.

Auditions will be held in-person on Jan. 25 and Jan. 28. All audition submission instructions will be updated on the Syracuse Stage website.

Notes:

  • Actors are required to bring a picture and resume.
  • Actors will be emailed a few pages of the script in advance to prepare for auditions.
