Big Bad Cast List

Thank you to everyone who auditioned for "Big Bad." Your talent and enthusiasm was very impressive! We wish we could cast each and every one of you however, because of the staging for this play; we had to limit the number of actors. If you did not get selected for the cast this time, please do not let that keep you from trying again. Arts in McNairy will have many more opportunities for you to participate in a play. We hope to see you at another audition soon.

For those listed below, the first rehearsal will be 6:00 PM, Tuesday, February 22 at Eastside Church of Christ. We encourage a parent to attend this first meeting since we will be going over some important information about the program and what will be required of the actors and stage crew. We look forward to working with all of you and know we will have a terrific play!

Big Bad Auditions February 17

Open auditions for the children's production “Big Bad” have been scheduled for 6:00 PM, February 17 at the Selmer Community Center. Production dates are April 1-3 at the MCHS Little Theatre. Children and teens age 5-18 are invited to audition and no theatre experience is required. Teen audition participants may be asked to read from the script. Younger actors may be asked to act out simple characters at the director’s request. There are more than a dozen speaking parts available as well as many smaller roles and extras. Technical crew positions will also be available for those who like behind the scenes work. Set painting and construction, lighting and sound technicians, costumers, prop and stage managers will all be needed. Inquire at the auditions about how to get involved with the stage or technical crew. We welcome parental help and involvement!

“Big Bad” is a whimsical, comedic, farce involving many familiar characters from well known works of children's literature. The perennial villain, the Big Bad Wolf, is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by the countless quirky characters he has wronged in fairytale land. Hilarity ensues as prosecutor, Little Red Riding Hood, presents her case with supporting testimony by the likes of the Three Little Pigs et al. The surprise verdict will delight audiences of all ages. Big Bad is being directed by AiM theatre veteran Joanna Pitts. Joanna last directed the original script A Tale of Two Tailors in 2010. Please call (731) 645-1875 for more details about "Big Bad."
