Absolutely a Golden Opportunity for Actors in the Desi Community!
THEATRE IN THE PARK (TIP), one of the nation’s largest community theatres, is searching for two performers for their upcoming production of DISENCHANTED. DISENCHANTED is an ADULT take on what happens AFTER the happily ever after. This production, rated PG-17, is a hilarious romp through many princess stories that is SURE to keep the audience laughing throughout. As TIP’s casting policy states, we strive to be culturally conscious as it pertains to social and historical content. Therefore for DISNECHANTED we will only produce the show if the proper performers are found for each princess.
After our open call we are looking for two additional performers to join our cast.
ROLES AVAILABLE
Princess Badroulbadour
Originally from the South-Asian-turned-Middle-Eastern Aladdin sagas, this sultan’s daughter has had enough of being secondary in her own tale. Misogyny begone! It’s a whole new world and this independent and puckish princess is taking her story back! Actress should be South-Asian or Middle Eastern.
The Princess Who Kissed The Frog
Having been left out of the kingdom for decades, this Black princess is here to claim her throne and celebrate inclusivity and diversity in fairy tales. Confident; clever with a turn of phrase, loves a funny pop culture reference. Wonderfully witty; joyous. Actress should be Black.
Rehearsals run from August 25th through September 27th typically from Sunday – Thursday in the evenings. Disenchanted performs October 4th through October 20th with 11 public performances. Rehearsals and Performances take place at the Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center at 8788 Metcalf.
Performers who are available and interested should send an email of interest to Daniel Vazquez, Stage Manager, at sm.disenchanted@theatreinthepark.org A self tape audition will be necessary and a possible in person audition may be scheduled. For more information, please contact us at any time!
