 BANG BANG YOU'RE DEAD is play written by William Mastrosimone in 1999 to raise awareness of school violence and its causes.  It is strongly based on the events surrounding Kip Kinkel's shootings of his parents on May 20, 1998 and 27 of his classmates at Thurston High School in Springfield, Oregon on May 21, 1998.  

 

Due to the serious nature and content of this production,

roles available for males and females ages 13 and up. 


Please read below for audition procedure.

Audition Procedure 
Our goal is to make auditions as fun and stress free as possible. First, all auditionees and/or parents fill out a form giving age, contact, and conflict information, etc. Please plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early in order to have time to fill out the audition form prior to the audition.
 
Directors and Costumers will talk about the rehearsal and performance schedules, costuming, etc., and answer any questions. Auditionees may come whichever date best suits their schedule. You do not need to come both dates, but are welcome to do so.  Please be aware that if you return for the second date, we shall start with the new auditionees and listen to those returning if time permits.

Please do not worry about being familiar with the script. We talk about the play and the characters and give auditionees ample time to read scenes from the script prior to the audition itself. We then assign either monologues or scenes which include more than 2 characters and give each group time to read through them together a few times before they audition.
 
Auditionees for CAST productions come from the immediate community as well as many surrounding counties. They range from those who have performed in shows or taken classes @ CAST or with other area theatre groups, schools and churches, to those who have no prior experince at all.  Please be assured that prior association with CAST, or prior experience with other theatre or performance groups does not affect our casting decisions one way or another. Our casting decisions are based on whom we feel will make up the best ensemble for the show.
