Get Involved in Life After Life
In order to tell the story of the Newporters buried in the Common Burying Ground and God’s Little Acre we need all kinds of people to play many roles. We’re excited to include people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels, whether as performers in the show, singers in the choir, or behind-the-scenes helpers.

AUDITIONS
On July 12 + 13 we held open auditions to find the 40+ people we need to bring Life After Life to life. While we were able to fill most of the roles through that process, there’s still room for more performers! Let us know if you’d like to play a part and we’ll schedule a video meeting. Our deadline for casting is August 17.
JOIN THE CHORUS
Life After Life will have an adult chorus as well as a children’s chorus, both led by Elizabeth Woodhouse of Newport Sings. No singing experience necessary. Rehearsals will be less frequent than for the actors, but you still get to be in the show. No auditions.
