Arts for All Seeks Actors, Singers, Dancers, Performers for its Youth Ensemble Company!

 

December 11, 2009

 

Tucson, AZ –– Local arts non-profit organization Arts for All, Inc. Youth Ensemble Company will hold auditions for positions in its company of dedicated performers. Auditions will be held by appointment at Arts for All, 2520 N. Oracle Road.  Please call Vanessa at 520-622-4100 to schedule an appointment.

 

Rehearsals will be held Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Arts for All Youth Ensemble Company is a program that continues throughout the year and members will be asked to perform at various engagements.

 

Arts for All Ensemble Company is seeking actors, singers and dancers ages 8 through 18. Experience in theater and improvisation is preferred. They are also seeking young actors well versed in American Sign Language. Actors with and without disabilities are encouraged to audition.  Actors should prepare a one-minute memorized monologue in their best diction and a song without accompaniment. The monologue can be prose or poetry, preferably not original work. Signers should prepare a one-minute monologue, song or poem. Dancers and those with specialties such as acrobatics, juggling or magic should prepare a short demonstration.

 

Vanessa "V" Ford, the new drama teacher at Arts for All, is the Youth Ensemble's director.

Most people think of theatre as being only about the actor's expression, but there are a whole host of people behind the scenes who are also part of that creativity; costume, set, light and sound designers, scenic artisans, prop builders, technical directors, even computer programmers are a part of the theatre. There really is a place for everyone in theatre, no matter what your interests or abilities. And that's what we strive to do at Arts for All. We include everyone."

ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY EXTENDS AIN'T MISBEHAVIN'

 

The toe-tappin', finger-snapping musical performs to sold-out houses

 

 

Due to audience demand, Arizona Theatre Company has added a performance of AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' on Sunday, December 20 at 2 PM.
 
A joyously creative songwriter of the 1920s and 30s, Fats Waller penned over 400 songs in his career - many of which entered the classic repertoire of jazz standards that are still being sung today.  Bright lights. Glamorous gowns. And finger-snapping, toe-tappin' music. Travel back to Harlem's sassy, swinging renaissance with a composer and pianist with a legendary lust for life. Thomas "Fats" Waller created jubilant melodies, soulful ballads and gleeful love songs like "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter", "Honeysuckle Rose", "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" and, of course, "Ain't Misbehavin'".
 
The Arizona Daily Star raves, Ain't Misbehavin' "totally seduces with its bluesy songs, jazzy renditions and abundance of attitude and heart."
 
Tickets start at $31 and are available at arizonatheatre.org or by calling the box office at (520) 622-2823. Discounts are available for students, seniors and active military on specific performance days. Half-price rush tickets are available for balcony seating for all performances one hour prior to curtain at the ATC box office (subject to availability). For discounts on groups of eight or more, call (520) 884-8210 x 8204.
 
AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' runs through December 20 at the Temple of Music and Art in downtown Tucson.
 
For more information or to purchase tickets, contact the ATC Box Office at (520) 622-2823 or visit www.arizonatheatre.org.

Beowulf Alley’s LNT@the Alley Holds Auditions

Criminal Genius by George F. Walker

 

(Tucson, AZ – December 8, 2009) Beowulf Alley Theatre’s Late Night Theatre, LNT@the Alley, will hold open auditions for Criminal Genius on December 14^th and 15^th from 7pm to 9pm at the theatre, 11 South 6^th Avenue (Downtown between Broadway and Congress). Please bring a headshot and resume. The audition will consist of a cold reading from the script or your prepared monologue.

 

Rehearsals begin in December and will be scheduled according to the production team’s availability, usually after 10pm weeknights with some weekend rehearsals. Performance dates are January 22^nd ,23^rd ,29^th, and 30^th at 10:30 PM,

 

 

Looking for: 

1 male 40s-50s

1 male 30s-50s

1 male 20s

2 females 20s-30s

 

Criminal Genius is a fast-paced, dark, and funny examination of the world of lower class, petty criminals.  Rolly and his son Stevie have just screwed up. Hired by the tough, and tough-talking, Shirley to set fire to a restaurant. They have opted instead to kidnap the dishwasher, Amanda, who is tied up in the bathroom. Amanda turns out to be the equally tough daughter of the mobster who wanted the restaurant torched – and Phillie, the drunken owner-manager of the motel, wants his night's rent. They all spend the rest of the play desperately and hopelessly trying to extricate themselves from the consequences.

 

Please call 520-977-5218 for further questions or unlikelytheater@aol.com.
