The Actors Theater of Orcas Island (ATOI) at the Grange will be holding auditions for actors for the 9th annual PlayFest: seven 10 Minute plays, all written by local playwrights. Performance dates are set for the last weekend in April and the first weekend in May.
This event has been the start for many talented island actors who had always wanted to give the stage a try, and then did! This year the PlayFest selection includes; drama, comedy, cerebral, and the strange.
Actors Needed: 8 male, and 7 female, ranging from 20-70 years-old.
There will be two days of auditions available, but you only need to attend one. Auditions will be led by Cara Russell. It will be a relaxed and fun experience. Even if you have never acted before, we encourage you to come and audition.
The plays are available to read at the front desk at the Orcas Island Library, and those auditioning are encouraged to take a look at the plays beforehand
