PRINCIPAL ROLES A range of speaking roles—largely Civil War era characters. Help bring Bethlehem’s history to life! These roles may require more rehearsal time, memorization and experience. CHORUS Both singers and non-‐singers wanted. A great way to get involved! Speaking and non-‐speaking roles available. Enjoy the thrill of live performance!
RE-‐ENACTORS and EQUESTRIANS Soldiers and non-‐soldiers! Have a horse? Drive a wagon? Get involved and strut your stuff!
SPECIALTY ACTS Are you a gymnast? Fire-‐spinner? Magician? The play features a traveling circus from the 1860’s, and we are looking to fill it with carnival-‐esque performers: Jugglers, clowns, stilt-‐ walkers, fire throwers, exotic dancers, tattooed men and ladies. Show us your special talent!
MUSICIANS Did you play in your high school marching band? Dust off the old instrument! We are seeking brass, wind, percussion, accordion and more for the circus marching band!
