There are many opportunities for NON-SPEAKING roles that will also act as visible crew. This is a wonderful chance for those looking to get involved with theatre, but who might not have much experience.
Note: There will also be an opportunity for two younger actors (about 13-14 years old) to portray young Joshua and young Lily in a filmed flashback scene. The actors will need to be between able to learn lines and take direction, and they must be comfortable kissing another actor strictly within one year of their age [with the permission of a legal guardian]. The actors will not be required for normal production rehearsals, but they will need to come to the set memorized and ready to do the scene multiple times. A copy of the scene will be made available to actors and their guardians.
We welcome your talents, both onstage and behind the scenes whether you are a member of DCP Theatre or not.
