Happy #TechTuesday, Encore fans. As one production sets sail, another bands together. We’re excited to welcome Encore students old and new to Robin Hood auditions tonight and tomorrow (December 11 & 12, 2019) from 5-7 PM at Encore’s Main Campus. Not sure if this adventurous tale is for you? Read on to learn six reasons to try out for the cast and/or crew!
With valiant heroes like Robin Hood and Maid Marion, stage combat is surely in the cards. This production is a fantastic opportunity to learn a valuable performance skill from experienced teachers.
2) Work with new directors.
Artistic Director Susan Keady is stepping into the director’s chair for the first time this season, along with Assistant Director Jim Clancy. It’s always exciting to work with new combinations of people, and you never know who else might be in the merry band.
3) Experience a new take on a classic tale.
This fun script puts a new twist on this beloved folk hero’s story. Want to know what’s different? Guess you’ll have to come audition to find out!
4) Build the Sherwood Forest.
There’s adventure in store for those off the stage as well. From forests to castles and everything in between, the crew will have a whole world to create.
5) Audition for the last non-musical of the season.
While we’re super pumped for The Talented Clementine and Disney’s Newsies, if song and dance aren’t necessarily your jam, Robin Hood is your last chance to participate in a straight play this season.
6) Form your own merry band.
Encore productions are a wonderful way to make new friends and strengthen the bonds we have with old friends. In the rehearsal room or in the shop, in the scene or in the wings, our students collaborate as a team that gets stronger with every rehearsal.
We hope this list will help you set your sights, take your shot, and step into the forest for your chance at adventure!
