AUDITIONS: Old Pueblo Playwrights 27th Annual New Play Festival

Good day, OPP Nation! The year is still young, but we have already had several great readings at our Monday meetings. In fact, last Monday we had reading of plays by Sydney Flynn and Gretchen Wirges, both of whom will have work in our New Play Festival in April. Oh, and speaking of the New Play Festival, instead of our regular meeting on Monday night (2/12) we will be holding...

AUDITIONS!
Old Pueblo Playwrights 27th Annual New Play Festival
This Monday, February 12th, 7:00 p.m. sharp
(Callbacks on same night)
ATC Rehearsal Hall (upstairs, behind the Cabaret Theater)
At the Temple of Music and Art
330 S. Scott, Downtown Tucson
The Details:
• The Old Pueblo Playwrights' 27th Annual New Play Festival will run Thursday through Sunday, April 12 - 15, 2018.
• There are great roles available for men and women of all types and ages.
• For the audition please prepare/bring a 1-minute monologue. You can memorize your piece or read from a script. It's all in the performance!
• Your audition will be performed before a panel that includes playwrights and directors of all the plays in the festival. Callbacks will be the same night.
• Directors and playwrights will select whom they would like to cast for each production. (Actors will receive a small honorarium for participation.)
• There will be 3 to 6 regular rehearsals and one tech rehearsal for each show.
• All productions will be "script-in-hand" performances. This means actors will be able to use the script during the live performance. Performances will conclude with a talk-back between the audience, cast, and director. This is an exciting opportunity for actors to participate in the development and advancement of new works for the theatre!
