DOG AUDITIONS FOR TOTO - Penobscot Theatre Company Non Equity Auditions

Saturday, September 13, 10 am - 3:00 pm

In this American classic, Toto is young Dorothy's fiercely loyal companion, as beloved by fans as the Scarecrow, Lion, and Tin Man. We are looking for a pooch with presence, says Producing Artistic Director Bari Newport, a dog whose personality transcends the stage and helps tell this enchanting story.

In the film version of The Wizard of Oz, Toto was a cairn terrier, but Penobscot Theatre Company welcomes other breeds as well. Any dog less than 12 pounds who is gentle, obedient, reasonably well trained, and great with people of all ages is encouraged to audition.

By September 5, all canine thespians must have their owners submit on their behalf a photo and
registration form to: Penobscot Theatre Company, 115 Main Street, Fourth Floor, Bangor, ME, 04401; attn. TOTO. Hard copies only please.Upon receipt, the theatre will send participants specific audition times. No walk-ups will be permitted on the day of the audition.

The Wizard of Oz, based on the 1900 novel by Frank Baum, became wildly popular when it was adapted into the 1939 musical fantasy film starring Judy Garland. It has become for generations an integral piece of American popular culture.

Penobscot Theatre Company is producing The Wizard of Oz in partnership withDead River Company, Deighan Wealth Advisors, Kindred Spirits Veterinary Clinic, Bangor International Airport, and Granville Stone and Hearth.
