Other details

The role of Little Ti Moune will be shared by two young actors and they will alternate performances. Minors will be paid hourly for work performed at a rate of $13.38/hr. The hours will vary throughout the process but will generally be between 17-25 hours per week. Minors will have adult supervision while in rehearsal, tech, or performance. However, a parent/guardian will need to supervise their child during the meal breaks of select days with longer schedules such as tech rehearsals, weekend rehearsals, previews, and any two-show days. Once on this Island performs 6-7 times a week. Each actor will perform the role 3-4 times a week and for performances they are not in they will be on-call as the understudy. They will be paid 2.5 hours for each performance and 1 hour for each on-call day. The scheduling is subject to change.

Audition requirements

**NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY** YOU WILL BE TAUGHT A SONG AND A DANCE AT THE AUDITION Please bring a current photo and a resume or list of previous experience, classes, choir concerts, church choirs, performances, etc. No need to bring a song, you will be taught a song and a dance in a group setting which will feel more like a class than an audition.
