CASTING YOUNG TOMMY
The English Theatre Frankfurt is looking for talented boys to play the role of YOUNG TOMMY in our upcoming production, The Who’s Tommy. In our adaption of the classic musical, Tommy appears as an adult, a young boy (aged 12-14) and a child (aged 7).
We are looking for six performers between 6 and 9 years and six performers between 10 and 15 years. The “young Tommys” have no speaking role and do not need to sing or dance, but should have some stage experience and a desire to act.
For further information about The Who’s Tommy, please visit our website at www.english-theatre.de
Auditions will be held on 17th September 2011 at the English Theatre and.
Please send your application exclusively via e-mail to casting@english-
You will then receive an invitation for the auditions; the auditions will take about 20 minutes.
The application should include a picture of your son as well as your address and contact information. We would appreciate also receiving a short description of your son’s stage experience (for example, in school theatre productions).
Rehearsals will take place from 1 to 11 November in Frankfurt, with performances running from 12 November 2011 to 12 February 2012. Each actor will perform only once each week.
During the autumn school holidays (17 to 23 November), two young actors accompanied by one parent each will take part in the production’s London rehearsals, with travel and accommodation costs paid for by the English Theatre.
Our son Thomas auditioned for the role of young Wolfgang in “Cabaret” and played this role for over four months (2005/2006) . It was a good experience, for all of us.
