LITTLE CEE CEE: Female Presenting, 8-10. An old-time comic in the body of a singing, dancing 9 year old girl (think Bette Midler as a kid). Spectacularly talented, not just for her age, but for any age. Already a diva – Wild red hair, loves quirky, sparkly clothes, has a vocabulary of adult words, many of them outrageously inappropriate. As a result of all of that, she has probably never had a friend her own age. Strong powerful singer, mostly belt, a little mix. Must dance well, and tap is a plus. No taller than 4’4.
LITTLE BERTIE: Female Presenting, 8-10. Even at age eight, Little Bertie lives under the stringent rules of propriety that her widowed Mother taught her and insists on. Only when she meets Little Cee Cee are her eyes opened as to how the world can be outside of her sheltered restricted life. Solid singer with a pretty voice, mix and a little belt. No taller than 4’4.

SEEKING
Equity actors for roles in THE WINTER’S TALE (See breakdown). All roles will be understudied.
PAUL – Male, 14 years old. Confident, athletic, and kind with a simmering curiosity that could burst him open. He is a favorite student amongst his teachers, not because of his intelligence but his personality and ease. He has social skills that make him seem older, and has a softness that leads to vulnerability. Complete opposite of Michael. He would be in the popular social circles at school if he weren’t best friends with Michael.
MICHAEL – Male, 13 years old. Steadfast devotion to God and to Paul. More insecure every day, which results in a slightly anxious mindset. The kind of kid that adults appreciate more than his peers. He has an earnestness and honesty that is almost naive. His anxiety about losing Paul creates an intensity in their friendship.
These auditions will be held at Sunlight Studios. The holding room is Studio D and the audition room is Studio E.
