Kids at HART Auditions: Newsies + Anne of Green Gables

Dec 4 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Haywood Arts Regional Theater

Newsies Audition information will be coming soon!

Newsies & Anne of Green Gables will offer roles for youth and adults!

You can audition for both Newsies and Anne of Green Gables and be in both.

Audition Information:

A monologue of your choice OR tell a story about a time you felt misunderstood OR tell a story about something funny that happened to you. One to two minutes.

Auditionees will also be given sides to read.

Characters:

Anne Shirley (11-17) – intelligent, sees the world through her vivid imagination, is romantic, temperamental, full of extreme emotions and opinions, unstoppable, an orphan with a tough background who finds her family and happiness at Green Gables with the Cuthberts, falls in love with Gilbert Blythe, is Diana’s best friend, eventually becomes a teacher and author

Marilla Cuthbert (mid 50’s to early 60’s) – straightforward, hardworking, fair and kind, a no-nonsense kind of woman, takes care of the homestead at Green Gables, Matthew’s sister who never married but once had affection for Gilbert Blythe’s father, raises Anne with Matthew and is the dominating influencer, although Matthew often helps soften her methods

Matthew Cuthbert (60’s) – a farmer, lives and works at Green Gables with his sister, Marilla, is quiet, perceptive, adores Anne and loves her imaginative speech, doesn’t always agree with Marilla on how to raise Anne

Mrs. Rachel Lynde (60’s) – the “eye” of the neighborhood, opinionated and brash at times, but kind-hearted once you get to know her, graceful yet perky, disapproving of Anne at first but becomes one of her greatest allies, Marilla’s closest friend and neighbor

Diana Barry (12-18) – sweet, well-spoken, stylish yet practical, boy-obsessed, Anne’s best friend, groomed to take on the role of a traditional wife one day

Jane Andrews (11-17) – loves school equally for social and academic reasons, athletic, loves Anne’s stories, Ruby’s best friend

Josie Pye (12-18) – rival to Anne, territorial, friends with the other girls but keeps people at a distance, believes herself to be the most popular

Ruby Gillis (11-17) – soft-spoken, sweet, loyal, loves Anne’s world, secretly a romantic, Jane’s best friend

Gilbert Blythe (14-19) – smart, handsome, Anne’s academic rival and eventual love interest, misses some school when his father is sick but catches up quickly and is top of his class along with Anne

Moody Spurgeon McPherson (12-18) – Gilbert’s buddy, good-natured, eventually marries Diana Barry, helps his father at the train station

Mrs. Barry (30’s)* – Diana’s mother, proper and traditional, stylish

Mrs. Spencer (30’s)* – has too many children to care for at once, constantly helping others with no time for herself, likely has spit-up or drool on her dress

Voice of Miss Stacy (30’s)* – a voice in this version, but she is the teacher Anne most looks up to and mirrors as she grows, is articulate and confident with a soothing tone, able to inspire her students

*These roles can be played by one person or cast separately.

Other Information:

MEETING and TABLE READ of the SCRIPT (within one week after casting based on cast availability – mid-December)

REHEARSAL PERIOD
