The Village Players of Hatboro

For the Farce "Drop Dead!"

No Experience Needed!

Hatboro, Pa September 26, 2012 -- Ever have a secret desire to be in the spotlight? Do you have a yearning to act in a play? Are you just itching to perform in front of a live audience? Do you think you have what it takes to be an actor? However, you didn't know how to go about it?

Well, now here is your chance. The Village Players of Hatboro will be holding open auditions for the comic farce, "Drop Dead!" written by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore. The playhouse is a local, community, nonprofit organization dedicated to the performing arts for over 60 years. All work is voluntary. The show opens in January 2013.

The auditions are open to anyone. No experience is needed. In fact, first timers are encouraged to try out for the show. Many of our productions feature actors in their debut performances. All roles are non-paying roles.

All auditions are a cold read from the script. Prepared monologues are not required. No roles are pre-cast. Everyone has any chance at being cast. All you need is talent!

Auditions will be held Sunday, October 7th and Monday, October 8th at 7:00 p.m.. The production calls for the following: 6 men between the ages of 21 and 60 and 3 women between the ages of 18 and 65. The show runs the last three weekends of January 2012 with two Sunday matinees.

The show will be directed by Fran Carroll who directed last season’s “Four Weddings and an Elvis.”

If you are looking to get experience in other areas of theater: set construction, lights and sounds, props, make-up, etc., all volunteers are welcome. The best part is that no prior experience is needed! You'll get hands-on training.  Just give us a call or send an email.

The Village Players of Hatboro is located in residential Hatboro at 401 Jefferson Avenue. The theater is situated between Jacksonville and Warminster Roads near County Line Road.
