Today, I took a huge step (IMHO) in my quest for professional theatrical experience. I had my first full-fledged, prepare a monologue audition for a paying gig. Moonlight Productions is a production company in my neck of the woods owned and operated by a friend of mine whom I met a few years ago through [...]
In preparation for what I hope is my next stage performance, I was informed that the role had to have a full beard…. the “handsome” part? Well… the say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. More than a few summers ago, I was cast as Motel in Fiddler on the Roof. Of course, [...]
For someone else Honestly, I don’t have anything against the show. I still say that not for Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration, the modern musical would be far different. But the wait is over. I received a message in my facebook inbox from the director of Miracles that told me that she had some [...]
I know that continuing to think about something does not make it approach faster, but if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a zillion times! I HATE WAItINg! I think the audition went fine… better than fine since I did get to read the script twice. There were only three of us at the [...]
So, today I am auditioning for what will surely be a most challenging play! Miracles is a very dramatic play focusing on a father, his teenage daughter, and her teacher. After reading the script (Twice) which was so kindly provided to me by the director, I thought it very thought-provoking but with a few moments [...]
There are three shows being presented by area theatres that pique my interest. First on the list is the Village Players little three person cast play, Miracles. I was loaned a copy of the script and I read it twice. It is very emotional and thought-provoking with a few moments of lightheartedness. Definitely would be [...]
OK… Mare and I will soon be on our way to the state of ILL in America Country. I have Vera loaded up with directions along with mapquest printed directions, hotel check in sheet, and printed tickets (Justin Case), and cell phone. Mare had to work last night and just called and told me she [...]
Tonight, following an extra long day at work, I will be heading over to the Huber to audition for a role in the holiday classic It’s a Wonderful Life. There are so many great roles in the show starting with George Bailey, himself. I’m tempted but 300+ lines sounds a bit daunting to me. I [...]
I am in a quandary. Next week, opening week of You Have the Right to Remain Dead, is audtion dates for WCCT’s production of Miracle on 34th Street, a show I dearly love. However, I do not see much in the way of a possibility to try out when there is rehearsal each of the [...]
WOW! This has to rank amongst the quickest audition results I have ever gotten. Monday morning at 10AM (mere hours after I auditioned), I got a phone call from the assistant director of You Have the Right to Remain Dead and was asked if I would like to accept the coveted, intrigal part of Harnell [...]
