PIPPI LONGSTOCKING - Woodbury Community Theatre Non Equity Auditions

Pippi Longstocking Auditions

WCT Pippi Longstocking Auditions

ANNOUNCEMENT: Pippi Longstocking tells the classic story of this dynamic and engaging young red-headed, freckle-faced girl as she adventures through life. She skips through the story making light of the many adults she meets, and is the first to accuse them of their pompous attitudes in her typical over-the-top manner! Pippi Longstocking’s cast will engage, excite, and encourage its audience to take life less seriously, laugh a bit more loudly, and to never truly grow up!

ROLES AVAILABLE: WCT’s Pippi Longstocking will be brought to life with a children’s ensemble (15-20 kids K-8th grade), 3-4 lead youth roles, and many dynamic adult roles. Director Christina Berget is looking for 4-5 talented adult or older teen performers who are interested in playing multiple characters alongside the youth leads and children’s ensemble in this fast-paced show. She is especially interested in adult (high school age and up) actors excited to collaborate alongside children and work together to create a positive, high-energy, and exciting environment for all ages.
