Project Main Details
The voice actors will be reading parts of several characters-"Charley", a 10 to 11 year old boy working on a science project about Kiwis.
Charley travels back in time and meets his "Grandpa"-actually his great, great, great... grandpa who is British, and actually may be Charles Darwin. Grandpa is cranky at the sudden appearance of this kid, but warms up to him eventually and gets excited about what they are both learning about Natural History as they continue to travel back in time.
Finally, there will be a narrator, a female voice that is an observer of this whole adventure. Warm, husky voice ala Linda Hunt or Sigourney Weaver. She is enjoying the story, but lets the characters carry the emotion.
The voice actor who voices Charley will also need to act for two other kids in very small parts of 2 lines each.
Please give an estimate for your part, along with a performance of the appropriate parts of the attached short script. I have also attached the entire script. This version is still evolving, but the length will be approximately the same.
In addition, we are doing a second version of this reading. This other version will retain approximately 2/3 of the first reading, you will then need to reread 1/3 of the script in slightly altered form. In other words, the final reading will be approximately 1/3 longer then the attached.
The complete script I am attaching has the entire script in front, then the appropriate individuals' parts at the back.

READ NARRATOR PART ONLY
Narrator
The Time Machine had taken them way, way back,
long before kiwis…
More than 150 million years ago, to the age of the dinosaurs.
Grandpa
Oh dear, we’re a long, looong way from dinner.
Narrator
But Charlie had run off to find Kiwi’s ancestors.
Charlie
That can’t be Kiwi’s ancestor: that’s some kind of DINOSAUR!
At least, I think it’s a dinosaur.
It has claws and teeth, like a dinosaur. But…are those feathers?!
Grandpa
Feathers? That should mean it’s a bird.
It runs on two legs, like a bird. But that’s no beak.
If it is a bird—it’s a really odd bird!
Charlie
It’s not a bird, it’s a dinosaur!
They run on two legs, too. Like Velociraptor. Or T. rex.
But feathers on a dinosaur? That’s…different.
