Actor-Musicians

Northbrook Theatre announces auditions for ACROSS THE SAND: A PASSOVER THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE. Designed for children and families (best for ages 4 to 10 and their families), this immersive theatrical experience will bring the story of Passover to life using performance, live music, and sensory storytelling. Audiences will be seated in the round at long tables, and the action will unfold all around them.  The performance includes moments of sensory engagement between performer and audience members.

Seeking singing actors and actor-musicians (experience with guitar, ukulele, bass, banjo, violin, and/or percussion a plus!) who have interest and/or experience in teaching artistry, experience with children a plus; actors who enjoy collaborative devising and improvisation; and actors who are interested in performing up-close and interacting with audiences as part of the performance experience.

ACROSS THE SAND: A THEATRICAL PASSOVER EXPERIENCE

Travel down the Nile, across Egypt, and through the Red Sea in immersive theatrical retelling of the Passover Story. Brought to life through storytelling, live music, table-top puppetry, and multi-sensory engagement, this theatrical event will bring the Passover story to life “as if you were there.”
