Open auditions for The Neverending Story set Jan. 23 & 24

The Northeast State Community College Department of Theatre announces open auditions for its spring production of The Neverending Story.

Actors are invited to two open auditions scheduled Jan. 23 & 24 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Wellmont Regional Center for the Performing Arts on the Blountville campus next to Tri-Cities Regional Airport.

The production seeks to cast adults in the character roles. The play is being presented by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Ill.

Based on the novel by Michael Ende and adapted for the stage by David S. Craig, The Neverending Story stretches the limits of epic adventure and childhood imagination. Young Bastian Bux steals away to read a mysterious new book in the library of his school. The book transports him into the magical land of Fantastica where the warrior boy Atreyu has been chosen for a heroic quest to save the land from the Nothing. On his quest, Atreyu meets the friendly dragon Falkor and faces the werewolf Gmork. As the adventure unfolds, Bastian realizes that his imagination is the key to changing the fate of both Fantastica and his own world.

Performers are asked to gather in the lobby of the WRCPA Theater. All actors should be familiar with the story and are asked to prepare a one-minute monologue to be read at the audition. Callbacks will be made on Jan. 25 between 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and posted on the Theatre Department’s Facebook page. The play’s production dates are April 12 to April 15.
