Audition Notice: Torchlight Theatre

"Torchlight Theatre is an emerging theatre company based in Airdrie AB, with a desire to bring great theatre to our audiences and good opportunities to our Artists!

The SPARK Youth program is geared towards youth between 12-18, to give them a taste of what a full production is like!

The SPARK Youth Program is looking to cast it's 2nd show this season, "The Worst Play in the World" by Jeff Lovett (Produced by special arrangement with Heuer Publishing LLC of Cedar Rapids, Iowa)

 SYNOPSIS
Here's the first big problem: Mrs. Watson produces Shakespeare every year. She has a love-love-LOVE relationship with Shakespeare. King Lear, Hamlet, Othello...over and over again, year after year. This year, she chooses another bloody tragedy:Macbeth. Mrs. Watson doesn't get it; she just doesn't get it. Not surprisingly, the kids have decided to hijack the show and destroy Macbeth with sinister glee. They completely re-write the play and hold secret rehearsals in anticipation of presenting one glorious night of rebellious mayhem. Shakespeare no more!
Just as they are ready to take the stage, the drama teacher announces that scholarships will be announced by the local college theatre department after the show tonight. Errrrrr, say what?! Don't miss this rare chance to see what happens when Shakespeare's darkest tragedy gets hacked by a group of determined (and talented) drama students.
