Note from the A/C:
"Our auditors have expressed a desire to see fresh faces at auditions. We’d like to try to give more of our members the opportunity to be seen at least once a year. For example, if you had an audition slot in June 2010 and were actually seen you will only be eligible to go on the wait list in this Fall Lottery Audition. First priority will be given to actors who were not actually seen in the prior round. However, given that there are always cancellations and that even the wait list is randomly generated, someone who is seen in November may still end up at the top of the wait list for the Fall Lottery and they will still have a good chance at getting another slot."
This audition is a lottery - when you register, you are registering for a chance at a slot or wait list slot in the audition. Names are selected at random electronically at the end of the registration period.
Audition slots will be two minutes. Actors who secure audition slots will have two minutes to present 1) a monologue and a song, 2) two monologues, or 3) one monologue. You are not required to use the full two minutes. As always, be very sure to time your material to ensure that you do not go over the two-minute limit. For those singing, an accompanist will be provided, but feel free to sing a cappella. (Singing is not an audition requirement!)
There are a total of 132 audition slots.
Random selection will take place on or about Saturday, October 30th. We will not know if you are going to get a slot, nor what your odds are, until registration is complete.
