Building The Company; or, Auditions/Crew Application

Hi there...and welcome to the kickoff of our exciting spring production of Anne Washburn's and Michael Friedman's 'Mr. Burns, a post-electric play'!

As this has been late to build, let me get a bunch of information about joining this company out there all in one fell swoop:

1) Any interested Stage Manager candidates should sign up on the Callboard ASAP and get their applications forms filled out/signed and back to me by 3/5.  Stage Manager candidates should be ready to drop straight into supporting our process during the Audition and Callback process.

2) Any interested folks in the other Lead/Apprentice/Crew positions, whether auditioning as well as actors or not auditioning at all, should also sign up on the Callboard and pick up their application form from the Drama Room.  Their forms are due back by end of day on 3/6 to be announced alongside the Cast List.  Anybody also auditioning for an onstage role will be assumed to have that as their priority over a Crewing position unless they come and speak with me semi-immediately.

3) Any auditioning Actors will need to attend minimum one session of General auditions on Monday, 3/4 in the auditorium (either from 330p-530p or 545p-745p) AND the Movement audition 3/6 from 345p-615p.  **Remember movement clothes and water for the Movement audition...and be prepared to work barefoot!

4) Callback lists will be posted the evening of 3/6.  Regrettably, for this small-cast show opportunity, the callback list should be considered a cut...actors not called back for Voice auditions and Reading auditions after 3/6 will no longer be in consideration for the show.  Just a numbers game this time, team.

5) The audition process breaks down as follows:
-3/4: 330p-530p OR 545p-745p [Ensemble/Collaborative Auditions]
-3/5: **No Mr. Burns Auditions Scheduled** [Advanced Acting Audition Period]
-3/6: 345p-615p [Movement Auditions]
-3/7: 345p-515p [Vocal Auditions]; 530p-730p [Cold Read Auditions]
-3/8: 345p-715p...ish [Final Callbacks]
It's gonna be a long week...I know I'm asking a lot, but it's gonna be worth it!

6) Familiarize yourself with the script and score as soon as possible (they're under the icons to the right).  **REMINDER - These are copyrighted materials.  Under no circumstances are they to be printed off, shared, posted, etc.**  They are available on your device to learn as much as you can about this show.  Hard copies are available from me in the Drama Room.

7) Actors, remember to read THE WHOLE AUDITION PACKET!!! We spend a lot of time putting things together to prepare you and your families for this process.  Please do your part by going over the dates/times/expectations with them so there's no miscommunications.  Crew candidates...you might do the same thing.  It's posted to the right, for immediate download.

8) ...I think that's it!  I'm super excited to be starting this journey with everyone this spring...email me with any questions: mjamie@pps.net

Be well...
