Auditions

Assassins

Auditions (and performance dates) for Assassins​ have been postponed indefinitely, until further government guidelines/updates are provided regarding the Covid-19 outbreak. Please stay healthy, and help keep your community healthy.
All auditioners should prepare a cutting of a Sondheim song or similar; preferably not from Assassins. The cutting should be limited to 1.5 minutes. That number may use recorded accompaniment or bring sheet music for the accompanist. If it is a track, you must know how to cue it and play it. Auditioners will also be asked to learn one of the show’s numbers as a group, and auditions will be done workshop style.

Performances will be on May 8-10 & 15-20.

Need to Learn an Accent?

Some of our actors have had continued success learning a variety of accents via the Dialect Accent Specialist materials. These are a reasonably priced collection of downloadable audio dialect lessons by David Alan Stern. The collection includes a wide range of dialects, such as New York City, American Southern & Texas, Cockney, German, and even Arabic! More info here:  Accents & Dialects for Actors.

Learning Lines? Yes, There's an App for That!

Picture
There are a growing number of smart phone/device apps to help one learn lines. One that some of our actors highly recommend is LineLearner. However, it appears to work best with an iPhone rather than Android devices. Some additional links related to the app: iOS written instructions and video tutorials, 

Recommended Reading

An Actor's Companion, Tools for the Working Actor. is an excellent book for both those new to acting as well as advanced actors. It is a relatively short read, full of succinct and simply set forth principles and activities. Experimenting with these principles will enable you to give a better performance.
