This post contains auditions posted on September 18, 2012.
Here it is. One big, long post to make up for a post long overdue. I have been unable to post for quite some time, but will continue to post auditions weekly with updates throughout the week as new auditions come up. As a working actor, it has become more difficult to devote daily time and energy to update this FREE resource for actors.
Any support you are able to offer by recommending the page to others, making donations, and continuing to visit would be appreciated.
Thanks for visiting the blog.

Seeking Performer who can Move
Coat Tale Productions is looking for a performer that can MOVE! Maybe like a dancer/karate/contortionist or someone with cool movement. Any age/look/sex/ethnicity. Acting skills less important as the character would have no lines. We do have a small budget and are looking at filming 1-2 days (into night) in October. Thoughts? Ideas?

I'm producing a new play--Ephemory--at the Headwater's Theatre--Debbie Lamedman directing. We need a stage manager for the show ASAP. We also need someone to create projections/video and an evocative lighting/sound device. There's very little set. Possibly several of these skills reside in one person--perhaps this is a team. This is a paid gig.
About Ephemory: Ephemory is a coming of age/falling through age story of memory, legacy, family, immigration, war, and love. We open November 9 at the Headwater's Theatre in Portland and run 3 weekends--TG is dark.

Dance Naked Productions is looking for a sound designer/DJ.
Our new show, Inviting Desire: The Dawn of Sex is an ensemble piece of theater created around the topic of women’s sexuality, and more specifically, types and styles of relationships.
As a company, we devise the show from survey responses, interviews, and our own fertile imaginations. We would very much like to work with a sound designer that is interested in being a part of the creation process. Ideally, we would like to find someone (preferably a woman) who is interested in bringing her own ideas to the table, who has a wide variety of music to chose from, and who has a facility with technology (ie if we needed you to create a mash-up of different songs, you have the know-how to do that).
The ideal candidate is open-minded and comfortable talking about issues of a sexual nature. Available to come and experiment during the rehearsal process, improvising on the fly, creating mini-dance sets. We like using music as prompt for movement, and would welcome your imput in that capacity. We are also writing a number of original songs, and someone who can assist with setting those to music would be a total bonus.
The show is currently in development, and we’d like to add in a sound designer as soon as possible. We rehearse Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and Sunday afternoons. In a perfect world, you join us for at least one rehearsal a week until we get into tech, closer to opening (Nov. 9th).
The stipend for this position is $300.
Please feel free to email any questions you might have as well.
Thanks so much for reading! Look forward to hearing from you.
(and as usual, really appreciate suggestions from the pdx community/passing this along to those who might be interested. YOU ALL ROCK! Free spankings and hugs all around!)

OTEA Speakers Sought
The Oregon Theatre Educators' Association, a group of primarily public Junior & Senior High School teachers, is having its annual conference on Friday, October 12 in Portland.
Our Conference focus this year is specific to the NEW K-12+ National & State Standards being written to guide (& legitimize) the educational system for Theatre in public schools (this is a GOOD thing!).
A major element in that focus is the importance of relating what we do as educators to the real world of Theatre as well as what are considered "real world" skills & applications - we know we are doing it on many levels, however, we would very much like to have a panel discussion about how we can all help one another in OUR world do so even more effectively.
I would like to invite any of you involved in Theatre in Oregon to join us for this discussion! It will take place the morning of the 12th - if you are interested & available (or would simply like more information), please contact me off-list by September 25...I can give you more specifics about the discussion, times, locations, and obtain a little info from you!
Thank you,
Zena
