Artists Wanted for QUEERBARET at Queen City Queen Theatre Collective

QCQTC_logoCALLING ALL ARTISTS!

We are so excited to announce that November will bring our second annual QUEERBARET!

We want YOU to come join us as a performer for this magical night of queer theatrical bliss. Here are the guidelines for your material:

  • Material should be something about which you are passionate, and would otherwise not have the opportunity to perform. This is your chance to take a swing at that song/scene/monologue that falls outside of your age, gender, sexuality, race, type etc.
  • Ideally, material should not exceed 5 minutes in length. (Exceptions could be made based on number of submissions.)
  • You may submit as groups, or if you do not have a scene partner in mind, submit the material anyway. Maybe someone else’s submissions will line up and I can pair you.
  • If you would like to do a musical selection, a piano accompanist will be provided, but additional instrumentation would be up to you to organize.
  • Each number will be the responsibility of the performer(s) to rehearse- though we will have 1-2 joint rehearsals for brief coaching/tweaking and to rehearse flow of the evening.

Please submit your idea, any technical requirements, and (ideally) a copy of the material to lindseyamercer@gmail.com no later than TUESDAY NOVEMBER 1.

Can’t wait to see what you’ve all got cooking!

Call for Summer 2017 Musical Directors at Bart’s Bards

BB_logoBart’s Bards, a Christian theatrical ministry of St. Bartholomew Parish, is holding an Open Call for Directors for our Summer 2017 Musical. Dates for the run are not confirmed, but will likely be June 22-25, 2017. The show is performed on the Ray Sowell Commemorative Stage in the Fr. William F. Krumpe Activity Center in Springfield Township, OH.  Interested persons should email Erica Mason aterica.mason@cchmc.org to confirm a 30-minute appointment time on one of the following dates:

  • Saturday, November 5, 2016, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
  • Monday, November 7, 2016, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

You can pitch up to 3 shows:

  • ANNIE (required)
    Choose one of the following: PETER PAN (no flying), THE KING AND I or FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
  • Your own show choice, it must include a significant number of children in the cast.  Widely recognizable shows are preferred.

Please note: while we will be as flexible as possible if more time is needed to pitch multiple shows, timing may be restricted due to the number of directors presenting.

Please be prepared with the following items:

  • Your theatrical resumé and contact information.
  • List of production or technical crew persons that work with you on a regular basis.

For all shows presented, please be prepared to answer the following questions:

  • What technical issues does the show present?
  • How would you resolve them?
  • Are there any foreseen casting difficulties with the show?
  • How would you overcome them?
  • What draws you to want to be a director?
  • What would make someone want to see this show?

For PETER PAN, please be prepared to answer the following questions:

  • How would you put this show on stage without the ability to fly the actors (this will most likely not fit into the budget for this year’s production)?
  • What barriers do you see to making this show a success without the ability to fly the actors?
  • How would you overcome these?
  • How much would you expect not flying the actors to impact ticket sales?

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Bart’s Bards Board Co-Chairwoman, Erica Mason, at erica.mason@cchmc.orgerica.mason@cchmc.org.

Thanks for your interest.
