1. This show will be cast a bit differently than you might have seen before.  Each role in the show will be paired up with a young narrator.  The narrators will bring the story to life, keep the audience informed about what’s going on, and will become parts of the story as well.  These actors could be anywhere between 8-18

2. Come prepared to sing no more than 32 bars of a song.  Either bring sheet music for piano in the correct key or recorded music.

3. There is a lot of imaginative physicality in Peter.  Please come prepared to “animate” an object.  We will have a chair, a piece of fabric, a flashlight, and a spoon.  Your goal is to make us believe this object has come to life for 30 seconds to 1 minute.  Is the chair suddenly fighting you?  Maybe the cloth is trying to float away and you’re trying to keep it down?  Be creative!

4. We will also do some reading from the script.
