Wiley and the Hairy Man
by Suzan Zeder
Wiley lives by Tombigbee Swamp with his Momma and Dog. He lives in fear of the Hairy Man, the terrifying monster who lives in the swamp. The Hairy Man got his Poppa and he’s gonna get him too! Through his dog’s support and his mother’s magic, Wiley learns to conquer his fear of the Hairy Man.
Our rehearsals will include text analysis, acting exercises, movement workshops and improvisational games that explore the world of the play.
Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois
Wiley and the Hairy Man requires an audition to enroll.
There’s no need to prepare anything in advance. During auditions, you’ll read from the script and play some fun improvisation games.
There’s a $20 fee for the audition.
No need to stress out about the audition! We create a playful and supportive environment where returning Traveling Players can reconnect with friends and newcomers can be welcomed to our community. Our community develops acting skills in an environment noted for its commitment, creativity and kindness.
We’ve been told that Traveling Players auditions are the most fun auditions our kids have ever attended. We intend to keep it that way.
Our kids have taken classes year round. We have not found a better acting program. Our kids have built lasting friendships with fellow campers.— Parent
