GENERAL AUDITION INFORMATION

TIME: 6-10pm
LOCATION: Acting Studio (RY 372) to check in, Auditions in Ryder Theatre Lab (RY 334)

CALLBACKS will take place on Sunday, September 13th in the evening!

The Audition Sign-Up and Audition Information Form will open on Monday, August 17th!

FORMAT
MEETING NOTES & FUN HOME will have combined auditions, and students will have individual audition slots to audition. What this means is that you can audition for both productions at the same time. If you are only interested in one of the productions, there is a place to note that on your Audition Information Form.

BEFORE AUDITIONS YOU MUST:

1. Sign up for an Audition Slot
2. Fill out an Audition Information Form

PLEASE PREPARE:

1. A 2-minute monologue of your choice
2. FUN HOME ONLY: Please prepare a 16-32 bar cut of a piece preferably in the style of this show (contemporary rock / musical theatre song) that highlights your vocal range and ability. Please also bring a copy of the sheet music for the accompanist

***MUSIC ENSEMBLE CALL: Meeting Notes is seeking:

1. Student Vocalists, Instrumentalists, and Sound Artists for an on-stage ensemble, working from a score by composer Nathan Halbur
2. A Music Director to guide the ensemble, in collaboration with the composer

Sound plays a crucial role in the play, signifying the increasing – and increasingly dangerous – presence of electricity on a farm. The musical ensemble will embody this soundscape and bring it to life, dynamically interacting with other elements of the play.

Due to the open and flexible design of the score, ALL vocalists, instrumentalists, sound artists, composers, conductors, etc. are welcome to apply.

You do NOT need any prior experience with:

• Improvisation
• Traditional or graphic score notation
• Acting / theatre / movement
• Music directing

The ensemble will emerge from YOU & what you’re interested in creating together. We’ll collectively find forms of expression that feel meaningful and rewarding, according to your unique wheelhouses.

If being part of a playful and adventurous music ensemble in a work of theatre sounds intriguing to you, we’d love to hear from you.

Submissions are welcome ASAP and will be reviewed on a rolling basis until August 31.

If you would like to be part of this ensemble, please fill out the Google form HERE.
