Synopsis

What would you do if you had all eternity? Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster yearns for a life of adventure beyond her white picket fence. But it’s not until she becomes unexpectedly entwined with the Tuck Family that she gets more than she could have imagined. When Winnie learns of the magic behind the Tuck’s unending youth, she must fight to protect their secret from those who would do anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds, Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: return to her life, or continue with the Tucks on their infinite journey. Based on the best-selling children’s classic by Natalie Babbitt and adapted for the stage by Claudia Shear and Tim Federle, Tuck Everlasting features a score from Chris Miller and Nathan Tysen.

Cast will not be required at every rehearsal however a high level of commitment is needed to put on a successful show, so please expect you will be needed at any given rehearsal. Of course, we understand that personal matters arise and it is not always possible to attend every rehearsal, but we ask that as much notice be given as possible. Availabilities will be asked for at auditions. Please come prepared with any unavailabilities. Having unavailability does not mean you will not be cast and we would much prefer you to be upfront and honest so we can plan a rehearsal schedule promptly and without hassle.

Additional Information:
  • Actors of all ages, genders, background and appearance are encouraged to audition.
  • Auditionees will not be required to make any physical contact with anyone else at auditions. 
  • It is likely that not every auditionee will be successful. If you don’t get the role you were hoping for or aren’t cast, this isn’t a reflection of your talent or future in the industry. Many factors go into casting a show, and all decisions are specific to the casting panel.
  • This is a community theatre show and is a voluntary and an unpaid production.
  • We love theatre, and we would like to cast a committed, passionate and easy-going cast to make a magical experience for everyone.
  • If you have any queries, or can’t make the assigned date, don’t hesitate to email  themanintheyellowsuit2025@gmail.com 
  • Please encourage and support your fellow auditionees on the day. They are likely just as nervous as you, and this makes a great first impression!

We look forward to seeing you there!
