OOC / IC - Auditions for the Christmas Carol!

AUDITIONS!

The auditions aren't until Saturday, November 11th, but I'm posting this today to give players amble chance to see and respond.


Auditions are held from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Tumbleweed Community Theater. The actual auditions will be held upon the theater's stage, with people waiting their turn in the seats of the auditorium. Audition forms are found on a table just before you walk through the door to the auditorium, along with photocopied sections of the script, and sharpened pencils. As people come in to audition, Kitty takes a digital photo of them for future reference and they are assigned a number, which goes at the top of their audition form. A table in the back of the auditorium room has snacks (there are green grapes and bottled water along with the cookies, hot water for tea, and coffee) - please try not to spill anything.

The director, Kurt Wagner, will be sitting in the front row with a table set in front of him. Kurt will call your character's name, and they'll be asked to come on stage for their audition. In the announcement, people were asked to bring their own monologue to read - Kurt begins each audition by asking each participant to read their selected piece. Then they are asked to read for the part they want to audition for from the photocopy. When reading group scenes, Kurt or Kitty will either read for the other part, or else Kurt will ask for another auditioner to read. If a person or people auditioning are promising, Kurt will pull out the full script and have them read specific scenes to see how well they work together. Kurt often leans over to Kitty or other members of his production team to ask for her opinion, jotting down notes on paper.

Characters who are interested only in the production side of the play are also encouraged to come - Kurt will ask those who he's chosen to help with the production team (set designer, choreographer, music director, etc) to come sit with him in front. After the audition, Kurt takes the whole production crew to JJ's Diner where they can discuss aspects of the production and make arrangements to meet again for more in-depth discussion.

Please fill out this audition sheet and post it here, along with any questions or comments or interactions between characters that you may have.
