Oddfellows Playhouse Teen Repertory Company 2024 announces auditions for “Everybody"



Auditions are March 3 and 6 in Middletown for actors ages 14 - 20 looking for a fun and challenging acting experience this spring.


Oddfellows Playhouse Teen Repertory Company 2024 announces auditions for

“Everybody", Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ wild contemporary adaptation of the 15th century Morality play “Everyman”.

 

Audition dates are March 3 & 6, 6:30 - 9 pm at Oddfellows Playhouse, 

128 Washington Street, Middletown.


Anyone wishing to audition should:

*Register for one of the two evenings at www.oddfellows.org, or fill out the audition form directly at https://forms.gle/dmWbcZWh7mAiLS5G6

*Arrive on time, dress to move, and be prepared to stay the entire 2.5 hours

*Open to anyone ages 14 - 20

*Everyone who auditions and commits to the rehearsal and production schedule will be cast!


Rehearsals begin March 17 and will be Mondays and Thursdays, 6 - 9 pm. 

Performance dates May 15 - 17 and 23 - 24. “Everybody” is directed by Hannah Simms.


“Everybody” is a modern riff on a 15th century morality play about a person looking for comfort and companionship when facing death. The Huffington Post says: “This is theater unlike anything you might have seen…unusual, unconventional and eye-opening…Everyman is no barrel of laughs, being a morality play about death. EVERYBODY tells the same tale, with equal emotional heft; but it is not only provocative and involving, it is also funny. Wildly funny, in fact.” 


Tuition for Teen Rep is $325. Financial aid or work-study are available for all who need it. To register for one of the two auditions, go to https://forms.gle/dmWbcZWh7mAiLS5G6. For more details or more information, email info@oddfellows.org or call (860) 347-6143.
