Actors needed

Continuing The Tin Ceiling's critically acclaimed 2006 season comes auditions for its next show, the 2004 Oppenheimer Award winning play for Best New York Debut "The Flu Season" by Pulitzer-prize nominated author Will Eno. 

The Guardian describes the play thusly: "a love story goes bad (really bad), a play gets written in painful fits and starts, snow falls, it turns to slush. Maybe spring arrives. This is a play to remind us why sunsets make us sad, how nostalgia is like fog and why we live our lives as though we are in mourning for them. THE FLU SEASON is stingingly funny and really rather beautiful. Eno specializes in the connections of the unconnected, the apologetic murmurings of the disengaged, those who have suppressed their humanity to survive. It is vicious stuff, written in a language so deceptively innocent, so full of platitudes, that you don't realize it has cut you deep until you feel the warm seep of bloody despair."

Directed by Andrew Byrd.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

Audition Date: Oct 24th 7:30pm at The Tin Ceiling - 3159 Cherokee in South St. Louis. 

Callbacks will be held on Oct 26th.

Performance dates: Dec 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th, 17th at 8pm

Roles for seven men and women of all races. All roles are non-equity. 

Players:

  • Man-late twenties
  • Woman-mid to late twenties
  • Doctor-40+
  • Nurse-35+
  • Prologue-Any
  • Epilogue-Any
  • Television-Any

Piano Player Needed

I need an accompanist for Spotlight's upcoming fundraiser November 10 &
11. It's about 11-13 songs, mostly from musical theatre and basic
arrangements, nothing too difficult.

I would be most appreciative if you could forward names and contacts to
me, especially if you know they might be available. Rehearsals will be
pretty short and sweet and there is a stipend.

Thanks.

Auditions for GREASE

NEWS FROM NEW LINE
===================
AUDITIONS FOR MULTI-RACIAL CAST 
FOR "GREASE" -- THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE!

New Line Theatre will hold auditions for the one of the biggest hits in Broadway history, the hilarious, very adult sexual satire GREASE, by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. The auditions will be on two successive Monday evenings, October 23 and 30, 2006, at 7:00 p.m., at the ArtLoft Theatre, 1529 Washington, two miles east of the Fox Theatre. Performers need to come to only one of the dates. Performers are asked to bring a prepared theatre song, preferably in rock or pop style, with printed piano music (no tapes please). There will also be a short dance audition. GREASE will be produced at the ArtLoft Theatre for 12 performances over four weeks, March 1-24, 2007. For more info about the show, go to www.newlinetheatre.com/greasepage.html

 

New Line finally rescues this raw, rowdy celebration of 1950s carnality from the cute, family-friendly productions that have distorted the show into something quite different from what it was when it first hit New York and became the longest running musical in Broadway history. For the first time in a long time, GREASE will return to its aggressive, over-sexed, vulgar, ADULT roots, capturing with surprising honesty a moment in American popular culture when America saw the first cracks in the armor of 1950s conformity and sexual repression -- a moment that would lead in a few short years to the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s and 70s. This will NOT be a Grease that will be appropriate for children.

 

New Line is looking for a multi-racial cast of 16 adult men and women. We will not cast anyone under 17 in this production, due to its strong sexual content. New Line is looking for strong actors who sing well, and who are willing to take risks onstage. The show will be directed by Scott Miller, with choreography by Robin Berger.

Rehearsals will be three nights a week, on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m., starting in early January, plus every night the week the show opens.  The show runs Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, for four weeks, March 1-24, 2007 at the ArtLoft. Performers will share a guaranteed 10% of box office receipts. Call 314-773-6526 for more information. No appointments are necessary. All performers should arrive at the audition before 7:00 p.m. New Line is a non-union professional theatre company and is very eager to cast a multi-racial company.
