"Play On" Audition for the Theater

Southington, CT, United States
ID: 274008Exp: 12/2/2024
Description:

Looking to cast male and female talent for the "Play On" theatre show. Please see the details below. About the project: This is the hilarious story of a theatre group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance, in which anything that can go wrong, does. When the author decides to give a speech on the state of modern theatre during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax and a thoroughly hilarious romp. Even the sound effects reap their share of laughter. Additional info: Rehearsal Schedule Information: Rehearsals are scheduled for 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. They may run later the week the show opens. Some Tuesdays may be added in February if needed. Read Through: Wednesday, December 4 Rehearsals begin Sunday, January 5. Not every person may be called to every rehearsal and/or for the full duration of each rehearsal; the time commitment depends on the size of the role. A full rehearsal schedule will be provided at auditions for your convenience. Please bring a headshot, resume, and your conflicts from January through March. An audition form can be found below if you prefer to complete it in advance. The form will be available at auditions as well. Auditions will consist of readings from the script and are included with this audition notice. Proof of up-to-date flu and COVID-19 vaccinations at auditions is a plus. Tech Week: Sunday-Friday, March 2-7, 2024; Performances: March 8-23, 2024 (Fri/Sat @ 7 pm - Sun @ 2 pm). You will be given a full rehearsal schedule at auditions. Come with your conflicts and list them. Auditioning for a role is a promise to your prospective production team that you’ll be faithful to them. If you can’t commit to the schedule presented, directors would love you to join us for a future production. If you are interested, please apply.
