Auditions for LYSISTRATA on Nov. 28

When Aristophanes wrote LYSISTRATA around 413 B.C., it was a comedy hit. The modern English translation of this rollicking play is still laugh-out-loud funny. WIT, a new acting troupe, will perform LYSISTRATA January 19, 25, 26, 2013, at the First Unitarian Church.

AUDITIONS will be held at the First Unitarian Church, 536 Linton Street, Cincinnati, OH 45209, November 28, at 7 p.m. Please bring a headshop and an acting resume. Auditions will be cold reads.

MALES should look somewhere between 25 and 85 years of age. There is an abundance of male roles. Here’s your chance to be: an armed guard, a herald, a magistrate, an ambassador or delegate, a slave or attendant, the leader of the men’s chorus or a member of the non-singing Greek Chorus.

FEMALES should also look like adults in the same age range. The major roles have been cast. There are opportunities to be a member of the Greek Chorus or to have a secondary role.

Note to potential auditioners : The original acting ensemble looked Greek and spent a lot of time partially or fully nude on stage. You don’t need to look Greek. You will wear a costume .

Want to know more before the audition, you can contact Director Donna Hoffman at sumytra@gmail.com.

CMT Announces SUNSET BOULEVARD Auditions

CINCINNATI, OH – Cincinnati Music Theatre (CMT) will be holding open auditions for all roles in their Spring Production of SUNSET BOULEVARD on Sunday and Monday, December 2 and 3, beginning at 7:00 p.m. Auditions will be held at the Clifton United Methodist Church, 3416 Clifton Avenue, just north of the intersection of Clifton and Ludlow. The production calls for a cast of 30 male and female performers of varying ages.

A cast breakdown and complete synopsis are available at www.cincinnatimusictheatre.org.

Auditions are by appointment and may be made by contacting Kevin Burton at (513) 702-4002 or Kevin_burton@me.com. Walk-ins will be seen in the first available slot.

Those auditioning are asked to provide a current resume and headshot and to prepare 32 bars of a song that best shows your vocal range. Accompaniment will be provided. (Please, no cd’s, tapes or accapella numbers.). Please provide sheet music in the proper key, with cuts marked.

A basic dance audition will be a part of the audition. Please wear shoes and clothing appropriate for a dance audition.

Based on the classic Billy Wilder film, SUNSET BOULEVARD weaves a cynical yet romantic tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition, all set to a haunting score by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Having been discarded by Tinseltown with the advent of the “talkies,” silent film star Norma Desmond is living in the past in her decaying mansion on the fabled Los Angeles street.Though her glamour and her fame have faded in all but her mind, she still longs for a return to the silver screen. When struggling, young screenwriter Joe Gillis accidentally crosses her path, she sees in him an opportunity to make her comeback. Their subsequent passionate and volatile relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic conclusion.

This production is being produced by Deb Schubert and directed by Skip Fenker, with musical direction by Kendra Struthers and choreography by Brian Anderson.

Rehearsals for this production will begin in late February, 2014 with performances beginning May 10 and running through May 18, 2013 at the Jarson-Kaplan Theater, Aronoff Center

CSP(OH) Announces Auditions for QUARTET

CenterStage Players (OH) Announces Auditions for QUARTET by Ronald Harwood. Directed by Burt McCollom.

A Comedy (sentimental…somewhat bittersweet)

Auditions: Monday, Dec. 10th & Tuesday, Dec. 11th from 7-9:30PM

The North College Hill City Center, 1500 W. Galbraith Rd., Cincinnati, 45231

Reggie (tenor), Cecily (contralto), and Wilfred (baritone) reside in a rest home for retired opera singers and musicians. Each year, on the 10th of October, there is a concert to celebrate Verdi’s birthday. Jean (soprano), who was briefly married to Reggie, arrives at the home and disrupts the equilibrium with her diva attitude. Together again, could they pull off re-creating their famous Act 3 Quartet from Rigoletto? ***Bobby, the meanest chorus member and concert heckler, may be added.

Please bring a headshot and resume. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

Be prepared to a cappella “shower” sing, but NO song preparation is required or needed.

Rehearsals will begin in early January. Performance Dates: Match 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 2013

Further information…contact Burt McCollom bmccollom@cinci.rr.com
