Actors wanted for Wednesday night family worship

The Peachtree United Methodist Church is auditioning adult actors for regular, recurring roles in its new Wednesday night family worship service, “Godstuf.” The church is looking for twelve talented actors, males and females at least 16 years old, to participate in the drama portion of “Godstuf,” an exciting multimedia worship service aimed at elementary school age children and their families. Most actors will appear once or twice a month on Wednesday evenings between January and May, 2005. The schedule will pick up again in the fall of 2005. Actors need not be members of the church to participate. It is anticipated that rehearsals will be held Wednesday evenings before the show in which a character appears.

The skits are prepared from scripts written by the creative team at North Point Community Church in Alpharetta. The characters are generally comedic and a number of them are children who will be acted by adults. Recurring characters include a bullt who writes poetry, a narcissistic cheerleader, a comic book hero-worshipper, male and female science nerds, a New Yorker, a surfer guy, and others. The characters interact to face real-life problems that children and adults can relate to, and evewry month hghlights a new virtue for examination.

Auditions will be held in the sanctuary at the Robinson Road campus of the church on Sunday, October 24, at 225 Robinson Road, Peachtree City. No singing is required. Prepared monologues of two minutes or less are welcome but not required. Actors’ presentations should appeal to both children and adults. An engaging and appealing personality, a person who can create empathy for his or her character, and a strong, distinct, and clear speaking voice are the main criteria.
