Performers Needed for "Superstitious" One Act Play Festival
The company is holding auditions for "Superstitious" One Act Play Festival, and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: A superstition is a widely held belief, typically not based on reason or science, that future events can be influenced by one's behavior in some supernatural way. Why do some people have all the good luck, while others seem like they've been cursed? Are we surrounded by ghosts who haven't found their eternal rest? Do we really have free will, or are our lives dictated by forces beyond ourselves? Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold scene readings. You should review all the audition sides, as you may be asked to read any of them during your audition and you may not have time for further review at that point. Copies will be provided. If there is a side you would especially like to read, please note that on your audition form and we will try to accommodate your request. Performance dates are August 15–17 and 21–23. Please apply if interested.
