WHITEFISH THEATRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR YOUNG ACTOR PRODUCTION OF "THE NEVERENDING STORY"

The Whitefish Theatre Co. is holding auditions for the winter production of The Neverending Story, a young actor's production that will be performed in February/March 2017. Auditions are for young actors ages 7 to 15 and will take place on December 5th and 6th at 4:00 p.m. at the O'Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish. Front doors will open at 3:40 p.m. so that students can fill out an audition application and review the audition selections. Kids will be auditioned in the order that they arrive.
Adapted from the 1979 novel and 1984 film, young and old alike will delight in the fantasy tale of a boy whose wholehearted belief in a story, and eventually in himself, saves everything. The story begins with Bastian Balthazar Bux, a lonely boy who stumbles upon a strange book, The Neverending Story, in a curious bookshop. Upon opening it, he learns of a land called Fantastica, where a vast, black emptiness, called The Nothing, is taking over the magical world. Quickly drawn into the story of Atreyu, an unlikely hero who has been tasked to save this world, the story's adventure takes Bastian to the far corners of Fantastica, including the Swamp of Sadness, the cave of a giant spider, and the maze of the Southern Oracle.
The cast will be composed of 2 to 4 adults and 20 to 30 young actors, ages 7-15 years old. No experience is necessary to audition and no preparation is required. Pages from the script will be provided.
Jesse DeVine is the director for this production. Rehearsals will begin in January 2017 and will be held Monday through Friday at the O'Shaughnessy Center from 4:00 to 6:00-6:30 p.m. A pick-up rehearsal will be held on Wednesday between show weekends. There are seven performances on February 23-26 and March 3-5, 2017.
