Folsom Lake College Theatre Department Announces Auditions for Treasure Island

The Falcon's Eye Theatre at Folsom Lake College calls for actors from the community to audition Monday, February 11 for its spring production of Treasure Island.

Based on the masterful adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson and adapted by Ken Ludwig, Treasure Island is an unforgettable adventure of treachery and mayhem featuring a host of legendary swashbucklers. At the center of it all are Jim Hawkins, a 14-year-old boy who longs for adventure, and the infamous Long John Silver, an unscrupulous buccaneer-rogue whose greedy quest for gold, coupled with his affection for Jim, cannot help but win the heart of every soul who has ever longed for romance, treasure and adventure.

Audition Date: 
Monday, February 11, 6:30p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis.

Audition Location:
Auditions will take place in the Drama Lab (PAC-1170) of the Harris Center on the Folsom campus of Folsom Lake College, 10 College Parkway (off E. Bidwell St.), Folsom. For a map, go to flc.losrios.edu and click on “Maps” (then select “Main Folsom campus”). On College Parkway, turn left at the stop sign. One dollar parking permits are available at kiosks located throughout the parking lots.

Auditioners MUST prepare a monologue that is no more than 90-seconds-long from any classical play. Please no teleplays or screenplays or passages from novels or song lyrics. Also, please no original writing. This monologue should best portray the actor's strengths and can be of any genre. This monologue must be memorized. Auditioners who are called back will also be asked to audition by way of cold readings from the text. Therefore, it is recommended that Auditioners be familiar with the story of Treasure Island before auditioning. Auditions and call-backs are expected to run until approximately 10p.m. each night. It is requested that Auditioners bring a full-sized photo-headshot and resume of acting experience, if available, but this is not required.

Callbacks:
February 12 & 13, 6:30p.m. by invitation only.
              
Rehearsal Dates: 
Approximate dates and times are February 25 through April 18, 2013, evenings and some weekend afternoons. Minor conflicts with these dates are permissible.  Significant conflicts with these dates are not allowed.
