Thank you to EVERYONE who auditioned!

Cast Lists for Summer 2018

At Limelight, we are strong believers in community and originality.  That means that all of you, no matter the size of the part, are invited to come along with us and say something powerful together.  Please accept the invitation. Scroll down to see the available cast lists!

What do I do now?

Step One: Check the Cast Lists

• Look for your name below. We were able to cast everyone who auditioned in at least one show. If you auditioned and your name is not on one of these lists, please contact Cori (cveverka@oswegolandpd.org) immediately. This means that we made a mistake and didn’t copy things correctly.
• If you auditioned for more than one show, please be sure to check all of the cast lists. Your name may appear more than once!

Step Two: Contact the Director

• Please email the director for your show to let them know that you will be accepting the role.
• If you decide not to participate in a show that you were cast in, please let the director know as soon as possible.

 Step Three:  Register for your Show

Once you have been cast in a production, we will post the course code for that show on the Limelight website, and you will need to register with the park district.  You can do this:

• Online! Online registration available for all shows.
• Over the phone by calling 630-554-1010. You can only register over the phone if you have an Annual Waiver on file.
• In person by going into one of the park district buildings to fill out the registration form and pay the registration fee. Visit oswegolandpd.org for building addresses and operating hours.

Fall Radio Plays

• Sign up for radio plays is on a show by show basis, so check back four weeks before each performance to sign up for each show.
• Actors who have been cast in each radio play will rehearse all day (beginning around 10:00am) on Saturday for a 7:00pm performance.
• All actors in radio plays will need to register for $5. Fee increases to $10 the day of the performance. Course codes will be provided in each cast list email.

If you are interested in serving as a Student Assistant Director for one of these shows, please fill out the form available in late August.

WLTC Radio Theatre Series

The WLTC Radio Division presents radio dramas based on classic films, literature, and some original works and adaptations. Radio shows are typically performed at 7:00pm at the Little White School Museum one Saturday a month January through April and September through November.

Actors invited to perform in one of these radio dramas are typically in HIGH SCHOOL and older. Roles are cast based on need. For example, if the show requires a part to be played by a young actor, then a young actor will be contacted. All actors must meet certain criteria in order to facilitate the quick rehearsal process that this type of show needs. Those criteria are:

• A demonstrated ability to take initiative and practice lines/character work outside of the rehearsal process.
• A proven track record of rehearsing quickly, taking direction, and making adjustments in character in a way that contributes to the positive work environment of a production.
• A consistent commitment to professionalism in the rehearsal process, as well as the ability to use that professionalism to improve the quality of the performance.
• Actors who meet these criteria should indicate interest in performing in the radio series by filling out the electronic form link above.

Each play is a mix between veteran actors and those new to this type of production. In an effort to be inclusive, actors who indicate interest will be cast according to their availability, and not being cast in one production means that actors will likely be cast in one of the following ones.
