Maria Goretti

Parental Advisory

This series includes discussion of mature themes and historical events. In one scene, Maria Goretti is verbally intimidated by her older neighbor Alessandro (19). Later, Maria is depicted wounded in the hospital. Maria’s younger sister Ersilia discovers her. These scenes involve the following characters, for which we are casting actors who are minors: Maria Goretti, Child Ersilia. These themes and events are treated in an age-appropriate manner for a young audience. Child actors will not be involved in any scenes portraying violence. We have been faithful to the events of Maria Goretti’s life. Nevertheless, out of respect for our young actors and their parents, we want to give fair warning about this mature content.

Recording

MP3 audio recordings preferred. Video auditions will be accepted if you can't record audio-only.

If recording your audition as a video, please ensure that you're in a quiet environment with a neutral background. If recording your audition as audio, please send raw audio with no special effects or music. We'd prefer not to hear a reader reading with you, and there's no need for you to read other characters' lines.

We prefer auditions with no "reader" - just you reading the lines for the role you're auditioning for. You can leave a natural break where the lines of the other character(s) would be.
