Auditions
ACORN Players wants you to audition. Whether you have been acting for years, have taken a long hiatus, or have never acted at all you are welcome. Our productions have incorporated people with no experience, experienced veterans with degrees in theater, and everyone in between. Our directors often leave non-traditional casting aside and strive not to be constrained by typical role casting whenever a script can accommodate.

Adults of All Ages Needed
Late August 2025
Due to the two main leads needing to portray young teens, those under 18 may be able to audition at the director's discretion.
Oskar is a bullied, lonely teenage boy living with his mother on a housing estate at the edge of town when a spate of sinister killings rock the neighborhood. Eli is the young girl who has just moved in next door. She doesn’t go to school and never leaves the flat by day. Sensing in each other a kindred spirit, the two become devoted friends. What Oskar doesn’t know is that Eli has been a teenager for a very long time.
An enchanting, brutal vampire myth and coming-of-age love story adapted from the bestselling novel and award-winning film.
Teens & Adults
Late September 2025
Peter and the Starcatcher is a prequel to Peter Pan based on the children’s book by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson and freely adapted for the stage by Rick Elice, with co-directors Alex Timbers and Roger Rees. For two-and-a-half hours, twelve actors make theatrical magic by playing dozens of characters: sailors, pirates, British naval officers, Mollusk natives and orphans in addition to eighteen major roles. The original Broadway production was a deliberately low-budget spectacle: an extravaganza of staging that relied on suggestion and storytelling rather than expensive set pieces like the chandelier in Phantom of the Opera or the helicopter in Miss Saigon. Elice’s script, jam-packed with poetry, fart jokes, gentle lyricism, and numerous nods to pop culture, is a coming-of-age adventure story about how a nameless orphan -- inspired by a remarkable and ambitious girl -- became the strange and celebrated hero that is the Boy Who Would Not Grow Up.
