Ghost and Gravestones Auditions
September 8, 2019 thru September 8, 2019Time: 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Ghost & Gravestones is an annual event featuring historical tours of the museum and Grove Street Cemetery with a cast of about 20 characters based on real people. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in getting on stage. Each part consists of a short monologue and the rehearsal time is not as involved as a normal production. Rehearsals are typically 1-2 hours every Sunday until the event, which will be Thursday, October 24 – Saturday, October 26 with a rain date Sunday, October 27. Majority of the roles are best suited for adults of all ages, but there are a few suitable for teens. No prior experience necessary and we will need volunteers to help behind the scenes, so if acting does not interest you this is still a fun event to be a part of!

A magical peach! An imprisoned boy! Insect friends! An incredible journey! This amazing adventure of James Henry Trotter will fulfill the fantasy of anyone who has ever dreamed of escape. Roald Dahl's story comes hilariously to life in this delightful dramatization that reveals the wickedness of some, the goodness of others, and the indecision encountered by many when they are faced with crises.
