Audition Form

Drama! Romance! Villainy! Get ready to boo and cheer in this outlandish, family-friendly melodrama! Melody Truelove and Goodwin Dalrymple are recently betrothed and set to inherit a coal mine that is currently owned by their widowed mothers. But all is not starry eyes and roses! Sebastian Hardacre, an evil banker, steals the coal mine from under their noses so he can steal the silver that is rumored to be buried within. Can Goodwin save the day? Or will the family mine be forever lost to Sebastian’s greed?

Auditions will likely consist of cold reads and some improv, but the exact process is at the discretion of the director.
