The Community Theatre of Howell is holding auditions on Monday, March 18, for the upcoming WCTH Radio Hour, which recreates the magic of live radio and celebrates the art of storytelling through sound.
Voice actors and Foley artists are needed. WCTH Radio Shows offer a low time commitment as rehearsals are only once per week. There is no line memorization, the performance is done with scripts in hand. No prior experience in radio theatre is necessary – we welcome performers ages 13 and older for roles in these exciting radio drama reenactments.
The two radio stories that will be performed on Sunday, April 28 are Big Town – “Pittsburgh Lil” and Our Miss Brooks – “Board of Education Day.”
Big Town – “Pittsburgh Lil”: In the bustling city of Big Town, the Illustrated Press newspaper reigns supreme. The newspaper is driven by a merciless managing editor and his fearless society reporter, Lorelei. When Lorelei refuses to write a malicious expose about a socialite’s scandalous past, the editor takes the article into his own hands with murderous consequences.
Our Miss Brooks – “Board of Education Day”: It’s Board of Education day at Madison High School and Principal Conklin has tasked Miss Brooks with arranging an exciting ceremony for the superintendent. A series of amusing mix-ups involving a prankster, an athletic dimwit and a stuffy principal culminates with explosive ceremonial results.
Auditions will be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. Monday, March 18, at 1400 W. Grand River Ave. in Howell. The performance will take place at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 28. There may be one off-site performance on Sunday, May 5. The description of characters will be shared at the beginning of the audition process. Please bring a list of all conflict dates between March 19 and April 28 to your audition. The first rehearsal is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 21.
Cast selection will be available on the Community Theatre of Howell’s website at www.cththeatre.org on Tuesday, March 19. For further information and updates, visit Community Theatre of Howell’s website at www.cththeatre.org/wcth-radio-shows or follow CTH on Facebook and/or Instagram.
