Tuck Everlasting Auditions Slated for February 11 and 12th
We are excited to announce our auditions for Tuck Everlasting!!
What would you do if you had all eternity?
Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster yearns for a life of adventure beyond her white picket fence, but not until she becomes unexpectedly entwined with the Tuck Family does she get more than she could have imagined. When Winnie learns of the magic behind the Tuck’s unending youth, she must fight to protect their secret from those who would do anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds, Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: return to her life, or continue with the Tucks on their infinite journey.
Based on best-selling children’s classic by Natalie Babbitt and adapted for the stage by Claudia Shear and Tim Federle, Tuck Everlasting features a soaring score from Chris Miller and Nathan Tysen.

Character Breakdown:
WINNIE
Female, to play 11. A little girl without cuteness – she has lost her father. She is too skeptical for her age, but with an unknown longing for romance and adventure.
JESSE TUCK
Male, to play 17. Light and laughing, he is eternal youth writ large, the lightness shown all the brighter for the shadow of loneliness that he has. Pop tenor.
MILES TUCK
Male, 23. A burned and bitter man. His natural sweetness shut away. Lost his wife and child, doomed to live with regret. Baritenor.
MAE TUCK

MAN IN YELLOW SUIT
Male, 60’s. Creepy and persuasive, a man with an obsession, a secret.
HUGO
Male, to play 17. Painfully shy, awkward and goofy; but smart and eerily observant
