Details

Murwillumbah Theatre Company will be holding auditions for the pantomime Saving Frogton’s Home, written and directed by Karen Kester, on Tues June 25th 6.30 pm at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre Auditorium.

Saving Frogton’s Home is an Australian adaption of the fairytale classic, The Frog Prince (Brothers Grimm).  Prince Frogton gets a little help from his friends to find his Princess and save his waterhole from over-zealous developers.

This is a light- hearted comical pantomime that explores the importance of protecting our native species. The audience interacts with the characters through song and dance whilst cheering on the heroes and booing the villains.

It’s Zeb’s birthday and as he blows out the candles on his cake, he wishes for a best friend. Instead, he receives an anonymous crystal ball with an annoying pixie living in it. What’s worse, he must learn to use it.

Together, and with the help of the magical fairytale characters of the Frog Prince (Brothers Grimm) and with some new ones added in for a laugh, Zeb learns why he must do everything in his power to stop the developers from turning the precious home of an army of endangered Southern Barred frogs into a large shopping centre, even if that means overcoming his fears. If Zeb finds his magic, his birthday wish might just come true, bigger and better than ever.

We require

  • four cast members 13 to 18 years old male/female
  • seven cast members 19 years and over, male or female.

This includes the two lead roles of Prince Frogton, Millicent, a trickster pixie, Granny Smith, a feisty nature loving Romani person, Endora, the Wicked Witch of the Riparian zone and a pair of dopey surveyors – a typical comedy duo.

 Please note some singing and dancing skills will be an advantage. Creative team members are also invited, including stage crew, sound, lighting, front of house, set builders and wardrobe maintenance.

Saving Frogton’s Home will be performed over three weekends in October and early November and rehearsals will be evenings twice a week initially and then some Sudays closer to the Opening.
