Curtain Call Casting Call

Project Overview

Curtain Call is a production that my friend and I have been working on. It's written as a play script, but this casting call is for us to get the voice lines performed and later put on my YouTube channel. Since the characters were not designed with physical appearances in mind, you do not need to look like the character to audition for them. This is being produced with no budget, so you will not be paid for your work. This is a passion project, and we sincerely hope that you are still willing to work with us and help to tell a fun story.


Here is a spoiler-free synopsis of the show:


Carolyn Dixon High’s Theater Arts Club is facing a serious issue. Like, a really serious one. They’re working on their production of “Romeo and Juliet”, but the two student directors can’t decide on how to direct it. Bea says that it’s a cautionary tale about the stupidity of young love, while Ben thinks it to be a heartfelt tragedy about hatred and romance. Like the Capulets and Montagues before them, a rivalry grows between the two. Sibling-fueled shenanigans, stupid ghost stories, and scripts written in Old English - it’s enough to make anyone follow the fate of the titular characters. But as Opening Night draws near, they’ll have to figure out a compromise if they want to put on a good show.


For my non-American friends, here is a guide to the typical high school grade system: freshmen are 14-15 years old, sophomores are 15-16 years old, juniors are 16-17 years old, and seniors are 17-18 years old.


There are a few requirements for those who wish to audition: 

- You must be at least fifteen years old.

- You must have decent microphone quality (i.e. no background noise).

- You must speak English well. 

- You do NOT need prior experience - beginners are welcome to audition. 


If you do not want to act but still want to work on this project, fear not! We also desire visual artists, animators, and the like of any age to help us visually bring this story to life.


Please provide your Discord username in your audition for future contact.


Thank you for auditioning.

Role assigned to: Adam Tink

Ben is a senior and one of two student directors for Carolyn Dixon’s Theater Arts production of Romeo and Juliet. He is a laidback and popular guy who is making his directorial debut. He’s eager to help Bea and is impressed by her capability, but he can’t find it in him to take the show as seriously as she does.

  • What do you mean? They’re doing great! Nick only messed up once!

  • (directing) It doesn’t matter. Nick, Miranda, you guys are doing great, but try to convey the dramatic nature of what they’re saying to each other. They’re not serious, in a way. They’re two teenagers making sweeping declarations of love to each other after talking for five minutes at a party — “not a hundred words”, Juliet herself says it. Make it the biggest Hallmark confession you can.

  • Look, I know we both argue in front of you guys a lot, and we’re sorry, but this is difficult. Bea’s under a lot of pressure, and you guys accusing her of making fun of me isn’t cool.

  • You’re the only one who auditioned for Romeo, Nick. Trust me, if we had other options–. (sigh) Anyway. Peter, you’re Benvolio.

  • This is my last show here. I’ve done seven already, and they’ve been great. And you know why they were great? Because I took the time to perfect it.

  • I insisted on you joining me for a reason, Ben, and it’s not because of your pretty face.

Role assigned to: CoolColton947

Nick is a junior who is overly confident about landing the lead role of Romeo. Never mind that he was the only person that auditioned for it, he’s clearly the most talented one in the cast. Hopefully, the allure of being the future club president might be just enough to knock him down a peg.

  • Um, yeah. It was pretty rude of her. Miranda tends to be that way sometimes, unfortunately. She doesn’t really like newcomers, and this is only Robin’s second show.

  • (scolding) Maggie! Iris! That’s enough. I understand you want to see some more, but we need to be respectful.

  • Say no more. I'll get out of your hair. (under her breath) Your really beautiful hair.
