IBP_logo‘Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?’

ANNOUNCING AUDITIONS FOR SOUTHERN GOTHIC: A GHOST STORY

This production will be an exciting change for us, as it will be a collaboration between InBocca Performance AND a new company, Say Yes Dance. It will be co-directed by Caroline Stine (InBocca) and Nicole A. Hershey (Say Yes).

Auditions are Oct. 3rd. Rehearsals will begin the week of Oct. 12th for a production in January (Jan. 14-16, space pending). Rehearsal expectations are 2-3 times per week, for approx. 2 hours. There will be dance rehearsals on Saturday mornings for those performers who audition for a dancing part. Rehearsal schedule will be determined based off performers’ availability. There will be a stipend, TBA.

Please see below for information. We hope to see you there!

What: A devised theatre production featuring dance, original music, and acting. Set in the deep south, we’ll be exploring not only the charm and beauty therein, but the fear, terror, and decay which lurks just below the surface.
When: Saturday, Oct. 3rd, 10am-1pm
Where: Northern Kentucky University, FA116
Who: cast will be approx. 8-12 performers
How to Prepare: Please come prepared to do a cold reading, create original choreography, and dance (this last will be optional, available only to those who wish to audition for a dancing role).

Please note that, due to the subject matter, no one under 18 may participate in this production without written permission from a parent (this doesn’t mean you can’t audition, but that you cannot be cast without permission).

Please feel free to email with any questions at info@inboccaperformance.com.

  • The Mad Hatter: from Wonderland, zany and crazy.
  • The Doormouse from Wonderland. Not at all timid.
  • The March Hare: from Wonderland, in a rush.
  • The Queen of Hearts: from Wonderland, mean and nasty but misunderstood.
  • The Wicked Witch: from Wizard of Oz, mean and nasty but misunderstood.

All skills levels and ages are welcome for this workshop production in which you can learn about live theater and hone your acting or tech skills.

Performance dates will be Dec. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13. Friday shows are at 7:00 p.m. with Saturday and Sunday performances at 2:00 p.m.

Auditions Announced for THE SANTALAND DIARIES

NETNew Edgecliff Theatre will hold auditions for their upcoming production of THE SANTALAND DIARIES on Sunday September 20 from 3:00 to 5:00 at Urban Artifact, 1660 Blue Rock St, Cincinnati, OH 45223. The production is directed by Missy Whitis and will run December 3 through 19.

We are casting the role of Crumpet. Out of work, our slacker decides to become a Macy’s elf during the holiday crunch. At first the job is simply humiliating, but once the thousands of visitors start pouring through Santa’s workshop, he becomes battle weary and bitter. Taking consolation in the fact that some of the other elves were television extras on One Life to Live, he grins and bears it, occasionally taking out his frustrations on the children and parents alike. The piece ends with yet another Santa being ushered into the workshop, but this one is different from the lecherous or drunken ones with whom he has had to work. This Santa actually seems to care about and love the children who come to see him, startling our hero into an uncharacteristic moment of goodwill just before his employment runs out.

Interested actors should schedule an appointment by emailing jstump@newedgecliff.com. When your appointment is scheduled you will be sent a set of audition monologues from the show to choose from and prepare.
