Other details

Most actors cast in this version of Charlotte’s Web will play multiple roles in a highly physical, hour long children’s show. In the auditions, we are looking for actors who can physically and vocally transform into different characters. Since the show will be performed outside, we want to ensure all actors cast can safely project their voice.
