AUDITIONS
Constellation Stage & Screen is committed to an inclusive approach to casting. Actors of all types and abilities are encouraged to submit for the role with which they identify. Constellation takes pride in hiring local (Bloomington/Indianapolis-area) artists, but there are occasionally opportunities for non-local guest artists.
Project Constellation: To Tell You The Truth
This year’s winner of our student screenwriting competition is “To Tell You The Truth”, which was written by Kaitlyn Chaumell and will be shot in Evansville, IN April 15th-16th. Seeking young actors for 4 roles. All roles paid $100/day. Please note – Actors playing Constance and Young Constance will also be provided overnight lodging, since they are required for both shoot days. Parents/Guardians must be available to accompany the actors who are cast in these roles.
About the film – Each year, Constellation Stage & Screen hosts a statewide screenwriting competition for students across Indiana. We select a winner and bring a full professional cast & crew to their hometown to produce the film!
“To Tell You The Truth” deals with the main character’s struggle to accept her past, which prevents her from moving forward into her future. The world is constantly changing around her, yet she feels like everything is stagnant, contrary to what is “supposed to be happening.” She has pushed down the truth for so many years that now her memory is fragmented, which causes her to constantly be haunted by half-truths and unfinished business. To grow from her struggles and to come to terms with reality, she must take a poor situation and turn it into something beautiful that allows her to move forward, ready to take on both the terrible and magnificent aspects of life.
