Performers Needed for Theatre Auditions: Three One-Act Plays

Columbus, OH, United States
ID: 287593Exp: 6/21/2025
Description:

Seeking male and female talent for "Community Theatre Triple Feature - Volume Two" featuring three one-act plays. For more information, see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: 1. "Take Five" Imagine you are an actor on opening night trying to perform on a set that isn't completed. Then one actor doesn't show up, a man from the audience uses your stage phone to argue with his wife, the props either don't work or are missing, the lighting and sound cues are off and two silly, incompetent stagehands do their worst. That's only the beginning of this award-winning show which actually caused a woman in one audience to fall from her chair in laughter. This delightful play is filled with surprises and zany characters and is ideal for competition, fund-raising and pure entertainment. 2. "The Girl in the Mirror" Seventeen-year-old Susan, who has attempted suicide, lies in a coma. Her doctor says, "Whether she lives or dies now is a matter of her own will." What goes on in Susan's mind is the play, which invites the audience to deduce Susan's decision regarding life or death. Thoroughly researched, this play is both an enthralling theatrical event and the basis for a useful exploration of a tragic problem. 3. "A Twinkie a Day" Professor Alan Crow is a firm believer in the supernatural and is determined to prove to his colleague Professor Hope Caulfield and the world that his beliefs are correct. In his zeal, crow accidentally initiates a zombie apocalypse. It is now up to Crow and Caufield to stop the zombie horde and save the campus and the world. This is a love letter to science fiction television shows of the 1990s. Rate: All listed roles are available and this opportunity is unpaid, non-union, and non-equity. Additional info: Potential callback on Monday, June 23, 2025 from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM.
