Pocket Sandwich Theatre is hosting auditions for its production of “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”
The theater will host auditions at its location on August 6 and 7.
According to a recent release, Carrollton’s Pocket Sandwich Theatre is hosting auditions for its upcoming production of “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Auditions run from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on August 6 and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on August 7.
The aptly-timed “spooky, but not too spooky” production, directed by Staci Ingram, will run from September 29-November 11. The theater itself will host the auditions, which the release explains will consist of “cold reads from both sides of the script.” Rehearsals will then begin immediately following the play’s casting.
Pocket Sandwich Theatre has included a list of available roles in its release, noting that previous actors with the theater will reprise the roles of Jekyll and Hyde. The theater still plans to hold understudy auditions for both of those leading roles, however.
Those interested in scheduling a specific audition time can do so through the production’s SignUpGenius page. Refer to the release below to see the list of available roles, along with additional information about the play.
