Thespian Ensemble Remount 2023

- Audition: Sunday August 27, 2 – 5 pm
- Auditions are only open to those who participated in this past summer’s Thespian Ensemble

Take a peek at the amazing work done by last year’s King Stag Remount cast!
The show will be directed using the original design, script, and basic concept from the summer, with the help of several capable assistant directors.
Auditions will be open to all students who participated in the Thespian Ensemble in 2023, regardless of whether they were originally cast in Tartuffe, Green Bird or Miser.
The script is being modified to accommodate many additional performers. Actors may find that they are cast in the same role as the one they played over the summer, or they might play a new role. It will be an amazing adventure of remounting a show as quickly as possible while making new friends and embracing the challenges of performing the same play for multiple diverse audiences! It’s a Traveling Players tradition!
We won’t need everyone in the cast at every rehearsal or for the whole rehearsal, but we’ll need a lot of you at every rehearsal. If you have conflicts, please let us know if you COULD change your other event, if necessary, or if it is immovable.
Audition Fee: $20
Tuition: $800
- If you were on financial aid this summer, then financial aid will be offered for you to participate in this festival.
