RAUE CENTER SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS AUDITIONS
Raue Center School For The Arts is excited to announce its 2nd Annual Devised Holiday Production following the success of last year’s The Disturbing Disappearance of St. Nicholas. What better way to celebrate the holidays than by crafting a brand-new show featuring music, singing, dance, comedy, drama, and more? Devised Theatre is a hands-on exploration of various techniques aimed at creating a world premiere play.
Cast members, in collaboration with the creative team, collectively develop a new 60-minute piece without an existing script, with the cast members also taking on the role of performers. This process enables the cast to enhance their skills in collaboration, ensemble work, improv, acting, and playwriting through contemporary theatre exercises, bringing an original holiday tale to the stage.
Whether you enjoy acting, singing, dancing, writing or wish to hone your skills, this production is tailored for you. No prior experience in devised theatre is required. Simply bring your creativity to the table and be prepared to embark on a journey of exploration.
AGES: Looking for a wide age range of actors including adults. No younger than 8 years of age may submit a video. For this workshop/production, there will be NO in-person auditions or callbacks.
All casting will be made based on your video and writing submissions. This process is only for this production as the director lives out of state. You will be contacted via email if you are cast. Final casting will be made no later than October 12, 2024.
