Theater For Hope will hold open auditions later this month for its holiday production of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," a stage version of the C.S. Lewis novel adapted by Joseph Robinette.
Tryouts run from 6 to 9 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 26, and again on Tuesday, Oct. 27, at Hope on Houston, 901 E. Houston St. in Sherman. Performers only need to attend one of the two evenings.
There is no sign-up in advance. According to director Webster Crocker, those trying out fill out an audition form when they arrive and then read a few scenes from the script.
A big cast
The show calls for more than 20 performers. Roles include the four Pevensie siblings, the Professor, Mrs. Macready, Mr. Tumnus, the White Witch, Aslan, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver and Fenris Ulf, among others. Parts range in age from 9 to adult, and the theater says it welcomes whole families auditioning together.
