While there will exceptions, you will not often find a 25 year old playing a 55 year old here at PIP, or vice-versa. This season there are very few roles for young girls. This season we have no roles for children under the age of 8 - in fact, we'd prefer slightly older children who look younger. Please keep this in mind rather than risk disappointment for your children. We are hopeful that auditionees will understand a couple of producer and director perspectives about the audition and casting process.
Talent is one of several considerations assessed in the casting process.
Prior demonstration of reliability and a team spirit is also valued, as we are creating ensembles with whom we will work for several weeks. It is not uncommon for directors to cast newcomers. This is certainly not meant to discourage anyone. Come to auditions and do your best. If you are selected for a callback, you will have another opportunity to shine.
