Casting Call for Stroll
(A Yarmouth Clam Fest Musical)
The Royal River Community Players are holding a casting call for actors to participate in the workshop and performance of scenes from the original production of Alone Together, written by Kent Pierce. The musical follows the coming of age of members of the North family during Yarmouth's annual tradition. We have selected the first two scenes, which introduce the story's protagonists and set the stage for the rest of the play. Although the production is still in development, actors who take part will have the rare opportunity to contribute to the creative process and bring this local tale to life for the first time. The final performance will take place at this year's Clam Festival.

Auditions will be held in timed slots. At your audition, you will be asked to perform a one minute prepared monologue and sing about one minute of a song. Please bring your own music for our piano accompanist. If you are searching for a great song, we recommend checking out musicnotes.com for its massive library of inexpensive piano music.
We will not be asking you to dance at the initial auditions but will ask for both if you are invited to join us for callbacks.
The audition time slots are very tight! Please arrive at the theater early to have plenty of time to fill out paperwork about who you are, and what type of role you’re auditioning for. If you have past experience on stage or singing, you are welcome to bring and attach a theater resume to your audition form.

RRCP General Questions

​
FAQ:
​
Does it cost anything to participate?
No! We do not charge anyone to participate in RRCP.
Will everyone be cast?
Not everyone will be cast, this decision should not be taken as a judgment on you and your talent. There are numerous other factors that can be considered when making the choice, such as the actor's availability for rehearsals, the available roles, age appropriateness, or whether the actor has previously performed with us (we are always looking for new actors to showcase their abilities). For those who are not selected for a role, we will soon be holding auditions for our next show, giving you another chance to perform on the Royal River Community Players' stage in the near future.
