CASTING CALL:

We’re seeking performers and artists - all ages, all kinds! - to be part of Yuletide Tales & Talents, which will be lighting up the Playhouse for two nights only: December 6th & 7th.  

 

Curious about being part of the fun? Here’s what you need to know:

  • We’re eager to select a variety of acts that represent the wide range of talent in our community, that includes (but isn’t limited to):

    • Storytellers

    • Poetry readings

    • Comedy

    • Magic

    • Juggling/circus acts

    • Dance and movement

    • Music (voice or instrumental)

  • Acts should be holiday or seasonally themed and appropriate for all ages, with a suggested run time of no more than 5-7 minutes (shorter is fine!)

  • Come with an act that’s ready-to-perform and self-contained (piano accompaniment will be available for vocalists) - we provide the stage, you bring the rest!

  • Collaboration is encouraged! Partner up with a pal, form a group act, get the family together - it’s more fun with friends!

RRCP General Questions

Admin@royalrivercommunityplayers.com 

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 castthis 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.
