For an upcoming production of Tom Jones and Harry Schmidt's "The Fantastics" playing November 18 through December 18th, Spotlight Theatre is seeking an actor to fill the role of Henry, an over-the-top Shakespearean actor.

Contact Fuzz@spotlighters.org or call 410-752-1225 for more audition information.

The original off-Broadway production of The Fantasticks ran a total of 42 years and 17,162 performances, making it the world's longest-running musical at  the time. It tells an allegorical story, loosely based on the play The Romancers (Les Romanesques) by Edmond Rostand, concerning two neighboring fathers who trick their children, Luisa and Matt, into falling in love by pretending to feud and erecting a wall between their houses. The fathers then hire traveling actors to stage a mock abduction, so that Matt can  heroically seem to save Luisa, settling the supposed feud and securing their fathers' blessings (which of course the young lovers have really had all along).
