Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood

Before you go any further--this play will be performed live at the Kinzville Park's theater. A photographer will be recording the whole thing, and the show will be posted to Webkinz Insider. (this is a Webkinz forum that we frequent. Consider stopping by, it's a fun, safe place to be)

SCHEDULE:
Auditions will be held no later than 10 days after the actor submits their form.
The rest of the schedule will be worked out after we get a sufficient amount of roles filled.
We will have a dress rehearsal (running through the whole play, in costume, without pausing to check lines or blocking) the day before the performance.

RULES:

BASIC RULES FIRST!

1. Don't just fill out the form because you're bored. An actor without commitment makes not for an efficiently run play.
2. The entirety of this play takes place in the Kinzville Park. If you have a really slow computer or Internet speed, then keep this in mind!
3. You must have KinzChat+, no exceptions.
4. Have Fun!

Rehearsal and Play Rules

1. If you must miss a practice, we completely understand. However, you must notify me or Keilee at least 24 hours prior to the day you'll be absent.
2. You will not have lots of lines (this is KinzChat+ we're talking about, we don't want it to get tedious), but please learn the ones you do have. If somebody fills the spot, Script Assistance will be able to help you out.
3. In the event of a sudden tragedy, illness, injury, or explosion of schoolwork that prevents you from being in this play, you are excused. Webkinz World is not more important than the real one.

Provided your pet does not get the part they auditioned for, will they be willing to take another?
And if they can't act in the play, will they help out backstage?
We have a waiting list that a pet is put on if all the spots are filled. In the event that your pet auditions but cannot get in anywhere, would you like to put them on the waiting list?


ROLES:
There are five roles that all must be filled. Little Red Riding Hood is off to visit her grandmother in the forest, sent there, by her mother, with a basket of treats in hand. Red's mother warns her not to stray off the path or talk to strangers, but Red almost immediately disobeys. The Big Bad Wolf wants the treats in the basket for himself, so he sneaks ahead to the Grandmother's house to try to steal the basket. Grandmother is frightened, and runs into the woods. Meanwhile, Red has come to the house, where the wolf is pretending to be Grandmother. Red is fooled, and is forced to surrender the basket of treats. However, Grandmother had run right by a Lumberjack, who, after hearing her crazy babble about wolves in her house, decides to hire himself out as an exterminator, and goes to get the wolf. Lumberjack barges into Grandmother's house right as the wolf is about to eat the basket of food. Lumberjack scares the wolf and chases him away, never to bother them again. And they all have tea. The end. The Narrator describes what's happening, due to the lack of scenery.

Narrator: This role can be filled by literally any Webkinz, but keep in mind that this role has a lot of lines. The actor will never leave the stage.

Little Red Riding Hood: A female, a Lil'Kinz is acceptable, does not have to be red or pink. This role is open, however if it cannot be filled, one of Carmen's pets will happily take the role. Keep in mind that this role requires the Little Red Riding Hood costume from the eStore.

Grandmother: Any female pet may audition, but if the pet could be a Shih Tzu, Shar Pei, Pug, Sterling Cheeky Cat, or Persian Cat, that would be preferred.

Lumberjack: Please audition with a pet that would suit the role best. A working breed of dog such as the German Shepard would be great. A female pet is acceptable.

The Big Bad Wolf: So please audition with one. A male Dire Wolf would be perfect, a (non-signature) Husky would be acceptable, but no poodles and the like.

Red's Mother: Preferably a feminine pet--anything with pink fur or a bow would be excellent. Please audition as a full sized Webkinz, a Signature will work.

You may also volunteer to help out backstage. Ways you can help include:
Backstage Help: These Webbies will watch the show and, when they notice the right cue, will run from the auditorium to the backstage area to alert the appropriate actor to head for the stage.
Photographer: This play will be photographed for those on Webkinz Insider to watch at any time. Please do not volunteer for this if you are an actor, as you will be constantly pausing to take a picture.
Script Assistance: This pet will be watching the show, with the script in another window, or printed out and in their hand. When an actor calls for a line, Script Assistance will give it to them. This pet will be called to all rehearsals, and can just watch as part of the audience during the real show.


COSTUMES:
We have planned out the costumes for each part. However, if you believe that you can improve upon one, please notify us with the advised modification, and it will be taken into account.
Every costume costs less than 370 KC. If you are unable to afford that, then please refer to the above note.
You must provide your own costumes.

Narrator: The Narrator can wear either a tuxedo, complete with a top hat, or a Tan Suit Jacket and Pants, with a Detective Hat [clothing machine item, made with Tan Suit Jacket, Blue Ball Cap, and Red Ball Cap]. This costume costs 325 Kinz Cash for the Tuxedo option, or 285 for the Detective Hat option.

Little Red Riding Hood: If you happen to possess the Little Red Riding Hood outfit [dress, hood, shoes, eStore items that were also available in a Hoodwinked promotion], then that would be spot on. Otherwise, wear a Fall Floral Skirt, Red T-Shirt, Red Bow, and Red Mary Janes.
This costume is free if you got it from the Hoodwinked promotion, but if you buy it from the eStore, it's 5,000 points (4,000 for Deluxe members). If you prefer the Outlet alternative, that would be 235 KinzCash.

Grandmother: Wear the Fall Floral Dress and Penny Loafers. Glasses are optional, but if you choose to wear them, go for the Mrs. Santakinz glasses. This outfit costs 290 KinzCash.

Big Bad Wolf: Requires no costume.

Woodsman: If you own the Lumberjack Coat and Hat, plus the Woolly Galoshes [all Fall Fest 2011 items], then that would be perfect. Otherwise, wear the Boy's Plaid Shirt, plain ol' blue Jeans, Worker Boots, and Aviator Hat. The Fall Fest outfit is, of course, free, but the Outlet outfit is 277 KinzCash.

Red's Mother: Wear the Sweater Dress, and Academy Mary Janes. This outfit costs 365 KC.

If your pet doesn't get a role, it's not because we don't like you or your pet. Sometimes, one pet will be better suited for the role than another. The pets that don't get in will be put on a list, and the role will be given to them if the original actor cannot take the role. This is not the only audition thread around, and it is certainly not the last one. If you really wanted to help out, then consult volunteering backstage!
