Fort St. John theatre group to host auditions for double-feature show
Stage North Theatre Society is holding drop-in auditions for productions of War of the Worlds and Sleepwalker on February 21st, 22nd and 28th, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — A Fort St. John theatre society is inviting aspiring performers to audition for an upcoming double-feature show set for May.
Stage North Theatre Society announced in a Facebook post on February 17th that auditions are open for two productions, War of the Worlds and Sleepwalker.
The society said the show will also be entered into the Peace River Zone Theatre Festival.
Drop-in auditions are scheduled for February 21st, 22nd and 28th from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 11520 Northern Lights Drive, and are open to anyone aged 18 and older.
No preparation is required, and participants will be given selected sections from the scripts to read during their audition.
According to the society, the production will be performed live on stage but delivered as if it’s being performed for radio, and feature handcrafted sound effects.
War of the Worlds is based on the infamous 1938 radio broadcast from Orson Welles that presented a fictional alien invasion as a live news report, which caused widespread panic from listeners who believed it was real. It had been adapted from H.G. Wells’ 1898 novel of the same name.
