    THROUGH THE WARDROBE: Narnia Audition WorkshopPlanning to audition for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe? Join us for an hour-and-a-half workshop designed to help you walk through the wardrobe and into auditions feeling prepared, confident, and ready to make strong choices!   Students should come prepared with a 1-2 minute monologue they plan to use at auditions. Please have this monologue PRINTED OUT so you can physically make notes. We will work to strengthen monologues through character choices, intention, physicality, and connection. Students who are still struggling to find the right monologue can also receive help selecting material, although we strongly encourage everyone to arrive with a piece already chosen, if possible. We will also step inside the creative vision for our Narnia and explore what the team will be looking for throughout the audition process. We’ll discuss the characters, experiment with the physical world of Narnia, talk about how to approach cold reads, and chemistry work. Students interested in being considered as featured vocalists for our pre-show and/or bows will also learn more about what we are looking for vocally and how the optional vocal portion of the auditions will work. This workshop is not required to audition, and attendance does not guarantee or influence casting. It is simply an extra opportunity to prepare, experiment, ask questions, and get some of those audition nerves out of the way before the big day. Come ready to work, play, and make bold choices as you take your first step through the wardrobe!

    SUMMARY
    When four siblings step through an ordinary wardrobe, they discover the extraordinary world of Narnia—a land trapped in an endless winter by the powerful White Witch. With the return of the great lion Aslan, hope begins to awaken, and the children find themselves called to a battle between good and evil that will test their courage, loyalty, and the choices they make along the way. Filled with unforgettable characters, adventure, and theatrical magic, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a timeless story of sacrifice, redemption, and discovering the courage to step forward when it matters most.

    THEMES

    Courage: Choosing to act even when you are afraid
    Leadership: Stepping forward and doing what is right
    Redemption: Our mistakes do not have to define who we become
    Hope: Even the longest winter gives way to spring

    AUDITION REQUIREMENTS

    For auditions, please come prepared with a 1-2 minute monologue. Choose something that gives you the opportunity to show us what you can do as an actor. I am especially interested in natural, grounded performances, so don’t feel like you need to make your audition big to make it memorable. Nuance, intention, listening, and honest choices go a long way. After monologues, we will move into a group movement/activity exercise. Many of the inhabitants of Narnia are not human, so physicality and the way you use your body to help create a character will be an important part of this production. We will finish with cold reads from the script. This gives us an opportunity to see different combinations of actors together, play with characters, and look at the chemistry between performers. You do not need to memorize the sides ahead of time, but we do encourage you to look through them prior to auditions. We will finish with cold reads from the script.

    OPTIONAL VOCAL AUDITION

    There will also be a vocal portion of the audition, but ONLY for students who would like to be considered as a vocalist for a pre-show song and/or music during bows. You do not need to sing to be considered for any acting role in the production. The vocal audition is completely optional and will have no bearing on casting for the play itself. If you would like to be considered as a vocalist, we will provide the song selection(s) for you to sing during auditions. You do NOT need to prepare your own audition song. You should choose ONE SONG for Pre-Show and ONE SONG for Bows if you want to be considered for both. Pre-Show  [Some Sunny Day] [Some Sunny Day (no vocals)] [We'll Meet Again] [We'll Meet Again (no vocals)] Bows  [I Stand] [I Stand (no vocals)] [There's a Place for Us] [There's a Place for Us (no vocals)] [Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken] [Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken (no vocals)]

    CHARACTERS

    All age ranges refer to the age an actor appears to be on stage, not their actual age Aslan Male, Adult A great ruler who takes the form of a lion. Aslan is so powerful that the mere mention of his name inspires strong feelings of terror and wonder in all who hear it. Despite his great power, he is frequently absent from Narnia and it is implied that he travels from world to world and realm to realm saving those in distress. Aslan is empathetic and kind, but his strong moral compass and decisive nature make him frightening to those who don’t know him very well. Lucy Female, 7-12 Youngest child; curious, open-minded, friendly, and brave. Lucy is deeply kind, inquisitive, and open. She is the most naïve, but also the most in touch with wonder, magic, and the ability to believe in goodness, righteousness, and fantastical things. Deep connection with Aslan. Susan Female, 13-18 Oldest girl; strong and nurturing, but a bit guarded. Susan is wise, contemplative, and usually the one attempting to keep the peace between her three other siblings. She has a great deal of empathy for all the creatures she encounters in Narnia, and seems to have an intuitive bond with the natural world. Deep connection with Aslan. Edmund Male, 12-18 Youngest boy; angry and misses home/parents. He is depicted as selfish and greedy, but despite his traitorous ways, is a complex character who is often conflicted. He knows that many of his actions are wrong, deep down, but is usually too selfish to do the right thing. Edmund returns from Narnia a much more thoughtful and just person, known for his clear headed judgment. Peter Male, 13-18 Oldest boy and calming presence. Peter is in many ways their natural leader. During the journey to Narnia, he proves himself to be brave and heroic and his physical involvement in many fights and battles marks him as his siblings’ foremost protector. During his reign as High King of Narnia, Peter is well known as a great warrior and leader. Tumnus Male or Female, Indeterminate Age A forest faun; nervous and unsure, has noble intentions but is scared of the Witch. He and Lucy develop a fiercely loyal friendship. Fauns are woodland creatures with the legs of a goat and the upper body of a human. They characteristically had curly hair, small horns, and long tails. They enjoy dancing and playing music, and their faces are simultaneously "mournful and merry". Jadis, the White Witch Female or Male, Adult An evil dictator and military leader. The pretender to the throne of Narnia, the White Witch calls herself Queen of the realm but is actually an evil, ancient entity determined to thwart the prophecy which foretells that four Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve (Peter, Susan, Edmund, & Lucy) will one day sit on the Narnian thrones at Cair Paravel Mr Beaver Male, Adult A good and hard working soul. Follower of Aslan. He helps prepare the Pevensie children for battle against the White Witch by sheltering them from danger and leading them to Aslan. Mr. Beaver is also the one who recognizes that Edmund is under the White Witch’s spell and is not to be trusted. Mrs Beaver Female, Adult A good and hard working soul. Follower of Aslan. She is kind, nurturing, and smart. She helps prepare the Pevensie children for battle against the White Witch by sheltering them from danger and leading them to Aslan Fenris Ulf Male or Female; Indeterminate Age A diabolical talking wolf who serves as the White Witch’s head of security. Described as “a huge grey beast - its eyes flaming - far too big to be a dog.” He is also one of the White Witch's most loyal followers, and was known for his cruelty and viciousness to the other Narnians. Dwarf Male or Female Short in stature; servant and lackey to the Witch and one of the most loyal followers of Jadis. Also known for their cruelty and viciousness to the other Narnians. Father Christmas Male, Adult The appearance of Father Christmas is a sign of the weakening of the power the White Witch has held over Narnia. Although they are bringer of gifts, they should not be thought of as “Santa Claus”, but more of a cross between Santa and a Celtic god of the wood. Father Christmas symbolizes benevolence and bounty. Elf Male or Female, Indeterminate Age The Elf is the assistant to Father Christmas, helping him to deliver his gifts to everyone in Narnia. He visits the children at Mr. and Mrs. Beaver’s house. At first, everyone but Lucy believes that he is the Dwarf that works for the White Witch and that they have been caught. Fights in the battle against the White Witch. Unicorn/Sentinel Male or Female, Indeterminate Age Unicorns were noble and honorable creatures that "not even a king would think of riding a unicorn except in some great need." All known Unicorns were fiercely loyal to Aslan, and were well known for their wisdom. A transcendent presence that makes it known magic exists in this world. White horse-like creatures with a single golden horn protruding from their foreheads. Centaur/Sentinel Male or Female The centaurs of Narnia are noble beings and are one of the most loyal creatures to Aslan and to Narnia. They are highly skilled in astronomy and divination, being able to read the stars and tell of future events. They are also proficient warriors and healers. No one would dare laugh at a Centaur, and no one who valued his life would dare try to put a saddle on one. It was a great honor to be able to ride a Centaur, though one had to ride bareback. Out of all the creatures of Narnia, they were the most respected. 1st Animal (Caipora)/1st Army Male or Female Beautiful fox-like humanoids that are noble, intelligent, kind, and steadfast in Narnia that fight in Aslan’s Army. 2nd Animal (Cheetah)/2nd Army Male or Female Fast, intelligent, and peaceful creatures in Narnia that fight in Aslan's Army. 3rd Animal (Sloth)/3rd Army Male or Female Sloths live in Narnia's northlands. They are very loyal to Aslan and fight for what's right. They also fight in Aslan’s Army. 1st Newcomer Male or Female, Indeterminate Age Cursed by Jadis and frozen in statue form, they come to life to help fight in Aslan’s Army. 2nd Newcomer Male or Female, Indeterminate Age Cursed by Jadis and frozen in statue form, they come to life to help fight in Aslan’s Army. Winter’s Breath/Spring’s Breath Dancers and Movers Winter’s Breath brings us into Narnia and Spring’s Breath brings Narnia back to life. The Witch can control Narnia, but she isn’t Narnia. Winter’s Breath exists under her reign, constrained and frozen. Spring’s Breath reveals what was underneath all along. These movement ensembles embody that changing spirit, carrying us from the first breath of an enchanted winter to the awakening of spring.

    SHOW DESCRIPTION

    As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can’t control, a destiny he doesn’t want, and a mythology textbook’s worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus’s master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him.

    Adapted from the best-selling book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and featuring a thrilling original rock score, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is an action-packed mythical adventure “worthy of the gods” (Time Out New York).
