Wanted – a one-legged pirate, answering to the name of Long John Silver.
No, it’s not the plea of a wanted poster from the 1700s – but, rather, an urgent request from Surrey Youth Theatre Company (SYTCO) and founder/artistic director Susan Pendleton.
The company’s February youth production of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of adventure, Treasure Island, is looming, but, unfortunately, the adult actor originally cast as the wily sea cook, Long John, is unavailable.
Pendleton says the part of long-abandoned castaway Ben Gunn may also need to be filled.
Males and females aged 17 and up are welcome to audition for the roles immediately, but individuals cast must be available for Monday and/or Wednesday late afternoon rehearsals in South Surrey.
For more detailed information, contact Pendleton at 604-538-9793, or email sytco@shaw.ca
