This page contains auditions posted on Thursday, February 24, 2011.
For some, it's a snow day. For others, it's not. This week, there have been some very interesting topics of discussion in the chat box, including auditions being posted with very short notice, inappropriate audition experiences, and involvement with the 48 Hour Film Projects.
I would love to keep this discussion going! Please continue to share thoughts and theories on why people hold auditions with such short notice to actors. Also discuss whether you have had any strange audition experiences because of the location or unprofessional behavior at the audition. If you were involved with the 48 Hour Film projects, we'd love to hear all about that!
Let's continue these very interesting discussions in the chat box below!
If you are a fan of the blog, please share this with actor friends. If you have any feedback for me on how to improve my blog, share this with me so that I may work on improving the blog.
Thanks.

helpful for understanding the story if you wish. Note: we are setting our
production in 1949.
No monologues required! Headshots ARE REQUIRED. Non-professional is fine!
No pay. Volunteer
Roles for Males:
Father/Clare - able to portray a man in his late 30s to mid 50s. Should be
willing to dye hair red if not a natural redhead. (A blustering, loud

oftentimes unwittingly manipulated by her.)

Roles for Females:
Mother/Vinnie - able to portray a woman in her early 40s to early 50s.
Should be willing to dye hair red if not a natural redhead. Wig possible.
(Vinnie can oftentimes appear to be a little bit of an air-head, but she is
in fact quite clever in the way she handles the men in her life, and her
finances.)

Mary Skinner - mid to late teens. Very feminine and pretty; smitten by
Clarence Jr.

Annie - maid, any age
Delia - maid, any age
Nora - maid, any age
Maggie - maid, any age
*Note: the script calls for all the maids to be of the approximate same size
so that they can all wear the same uniform. We are not necessarily going to
adhere to that as each actor will have their own basic costume. And if some
of the costumes are too large or too tight, well that will just add to the
humor.

noted.
