Audition Information

Auditions will be held on Monday, September 9, 3:30-4:30pm. Signups will be available beginning September 5.
Please read through the audition packet below for all the information you need to know about the play and auditions.
Put effort into preparing for the audition. Do not just read from the script. Research the story and know the characters, time period and plot. Bring the pages to the audition with you.
Practice at home! You can do this with a friend, or even looking into a mirror. The more you practice the more at ease you will become.
It’s OK to be nervous - Take that nervous energy and turn it into good energy. Remember we want you to do well and have fun!

About the play

In this version of the classic Mark Twain story, the Yankee is a young engineer just out of college and anxious to try his hand at every kind of mechanical device. Knocked out by one of his own experiments, he awakens in the Court of King Arthur. From then, the striking contrast between the old and the new develops into a series of ludicrous events. Television, radio, aviation, football and even the corner drugstore will find their way into the kingdom of Arthur through the influences of the enterprising engineer - who eventually finds himself in hot water.

Participation Info

The JMPS fall play is open to anyone in High School and everyone who auditions will be given a part.
Don't want to be on stage, but still want to be part of the production? Join tech. Tech is run by Mr. Chris and is in charge of props, scene changes, audio, and lighting.

​Theater is a group sport. Please be sure you can commit before trying out. Multiple absences may lead to having to replace a student with someone else.

Regular practice is scheduled for Mondays & Wednesdays, 3:30-5pm. However, not all actors will be required to attend each practice. Once blocking for each scene has been completed Mr. Chris will hold alternate rehearsals to accommodate some schedule conflicts. Please do not allow practice schedules for volleyball, football, Sparx, or drumline to discourage you from participating without talking to Mr. Chris first. 

The actor fee to participate is $150. A $75 deposit is due by 9/27, and the remaining $75 is due by 10/25.
The tech fee is $25 and includes a production shirt.
