The director is looking for actors who can play multiple roles with honesty and distinction. Actors 3-7 will all play a variety of parts varying in age/gender/disposition. All actors must have the ability to distinguish characters vocally and physically. Good Southern accents are a must (ideally both 'genteel' and 'rural' Southern). Apart from Atticus and Scout, no actor needs to be any specific age but we are seeking an ensemble that covers the spectrum of young and old. ALL ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
Please bring an additional headshot and resume to the audition, and prepare one monologue (60-90 seconds) in a Southern dialect.
