Actor Audition Dates

Auditions will be held Monday, May 24 and Tuesday May 25 (6:30-9:30)
Call-Backs will be held Wednesday, May 26 (6:30-9:30)

Actors will have the great opportunity to:
• Attend auditions for all roles in the three productions by reading scenes, performing monologues, and executing movement
• Enter into a six week rehearsal period with weekly performance training master classes from area acting professionals and educators. The training master classes will focus on an aspect of performance (voice, body, text, new play development, advanced methods) and include the whole actor’s ensemble
• Act in three performances of a full length new play in the intimate 139 seat Bill Fry arena theatre
• Participate in final performance post-mortem (group and individual evaluation and reflection on the artistic process) and feedback process for the playwright and the Players Guild Theatre specific to their play (This portion is for involved artists only)
• Attend the other two new full length plays and stay for post play discussions open to the public

All the above, specifically training and attendance of other shows is expected. This great conservatory style production process is indeed a unique experience for any actor in theatre.
