"AUDITION"
Choose a time that works best for you between 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm. We are working in 5 minute increments.
What You Need to Know:
-The ensemble company will consist of six to 10 performers who will not only participate in, but will help initiate, the theatre's works.
- The performers will have diverse backgrounds, interests, and experiences.
- Established actors, singers, improv comedians, dancers, poets, musicians and writers may be included in the mix, but special attention will be paid to performers who may have never stepped foot on a stage.
It's like artistic alchemy.
- Auditionees must register for an audition time slot. There, they can also learn more about the nature of the audition and callback sessions. Preference will be given to candidates who are knowledgeable and passionate about the theatre's mission, as stated on the site.
- Performers will be paid for mainstage shows.
What You Need to Prepare:
- TWO Contrasting Monologues: Different styles, genres, not too interested in period pieces. I want to see adventure and creativity with these characters. Remember, the gender of the character is only written down on the paper, you can play ANY ROLE YOU WANT! No more than 1 minute each.
- ONE A Cappella song. Your choice. Give me a good 16 bars or less than 30 seconds.
- TWO Headshots and Resumes. If you do not have a resume because you don't have any experience just bring a work resume. Also if you do not have headshots, just get two pictures of yourself blown-up to 8 x 10.
What You Can Expect:
For the callbacks, we are looking for a lot of improv and theatre related skills. Ability to do things other than act is crucial. We are looking for "Jacks-of-All-Trades" for this ensemble. Dress comfortably as we will be doing a lot of movement and interaction. This may last up to 2 hours so be prepared!
