In all, some 45 roles will be shared by the ensemble. Many of these will be doubled and some roles will be cast "gender/race blind." We will need actors for eight or nine principal roles in additions to actors for strong supporting work. Please note that I envision Singing and Dancing as part of the presentation. REQUIREMENTS 1. Please read the play prior to audition 2. Prepare and deliver with conviction a one or two minute monologue. It should be contemporary. Please tell a strong story, express feeling convincingly, deliver "the truth" of what the monologue/character is saying. 2007-2008 Audition LITTLE WOMEN book by Allan Knee, music by Jason Howland, lyrics by Mindi Dickstein URI production to be directed by Paula McGlasson DATE Tues., 9/4/07 7:00-10:30pm Thurs., 9/6/07 7:30-10:30pm CALLBACKS Sat., 9/8/07 1:00-6:00pm REHEARSALS BEGIN Limited rehs. week of Oct. 15; Full rehs. week of Oct. 22 LOCATION URI, Fine Arts Center G-Studio PERFORMANCES November 29-December 1, & December 6-8, 2007 at 7:30pm December 2 & 9, 2007 at 3:00pm MORE INFO 1.401.874.5921 or see the Sign-up Sheet (outside the Main Theatre Office) NEEDED When "Little Women" was produced on Broadway, it featured a cast of 6 women and men who played 18 individual roles. However, it is unlikely that we will double exactly as they did. Depending on abilities, our cast will probably be in the range of 10-18 actors. REQUIREMENTS 1. Please read the play prior to audition 2. Prepare and memorize a 1-2 minute contemporary monologue that reveals passion and conviction of character. We are presenting a period play written by a contemporary author so try to match the language and feel of the script. Prepare and memorize one song from the musical theatre field and bring the sheet music. A pianist will be provided. The music for "Little Women" requires legitimate voices for most roles. Please see the callboard in late August for information on ranges and styles. With so few roles, auditions will be unusually competitive this year. Read the novel, read the script, listen to the music and make certain that your audition conveys your suitability and dedication to a role. 2007-2008 Audition AMADEUS By Peter Shaffer URI production to be directed by Alan Hawkridge DATE TBA TBA TBA TBA CALLBACKS TBA TBA LOCATION URI, Fine Arts Center G-Studio PERFORMANCES February 28-March 1 & March 6-8, 2008 at 7:30pm March 2 & 9, 2008 at 3:00pm MORE INFO 1.401.874.5921 or see the Sign-up Sheet (outside the Main Theatre Office) REQUIREMENTS 1.
