Meeting Notes
By Rory O’Neill (’24)
Directed by Devon Whitney (’23)
Performances October 21-25, 2026
Production Synopsis:
The following are meeting notes from April 10th. Does anyone want to follow up on any action items from last week? Does anyone have any news to share? We noticed some buzzing boxes in the trees – It might be serious. But it’s probably nothing.
Every week at sundown, Judy (a hen), Georgie (a show pig), Bill (a wren), Croquette (also a wren), Cooper (a beagle), and Rose (a dairy cow), meet to discuss their concerns, their observations, and the logistics of their lives on the Johnson Family Farm. When the wrens notice that electric fly zappers have gone up in the trees, the animals must decide how seriously to take the changes around here.
***MUSIC ENSEMBLE CALL: Meeting Notes is seeking:
- Student Vocalists, Instrumentalists, and Sound Artists for an on-stage ensemble, working from a score by composer Nathan Halbur
- 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.
