Summer Theatre Hosts Auditions

Fort Peck Summer Theatre has roles open for actors of all ages this summer, specifically in Hank Williams, Murder on the Orient Express, Matilda and White Christmas.

FPST organizers are always thrilled to include many local actors in the cast of summer productions, especially young performers, and there are many opportunities for the production of Matilda.

FPST will be hosting auditions Feb. 19. Youth 8-13 years of age will start at 11 a.m. Aspirants will audition in a group. A song will be taught and the group will sing and then do the same with some lines and monologues. Youth do not need to prepare anything specific, but it is recommended that they familiarize themselves with the soundtrack, music and story of Matilda.

Older teenagers and adults can come from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. with the normal audition protocol: Prepare a cutting of a song and a monologue no longer than one minute each. It can be anything you think is appropriate for the show/ roles they are interested.

Upon being cast, rehearsals will occur three weeks prior to opening night of each play and typically take place on the weekends (10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekday evenings. Not all actors are called to every rehearsal, depending on the role.
