trueTHEATRE Seeks Stories for trueVACATION

TRUE_logoRight about now, we could use a vacation, huh? Be careful what you wish for! Remember that time when…? Have you ever thought about sharing the stories of your favorite, craziest, worst, or most awkward vacations with an audience?

True Theatre is producing trueVACATION, which will run for one night only on Monday, January 13 at the Know Theatre in downtown Cincinnati. They are now making appointments with people to hear their true, personal, VACATION-related stories for possible inclusion in the show.

Appointments will be for Saturday, November 23 or by arrangement.

If you have a story you would like True Theatre to consider for this show, reach out to them at truetheatre.com/contact.html or by writing stories@truetheatre.com. They will work with you to set an appointment and provide directions.

On the night of the show, stories will be expected to fit into a 10-15 minute time window and be told without notes. For the initial appointment, it is hoped, but not mandatory, that candidates can come close to these constraints. Unique approaches to the theme are welcome. Stories may be funny or serious. All stories are welcome for consideration!

Of the stories submitted, True Theatre will select five (5) for the show which fit the theme, have a good structure, and which balance nicely against the other stories selected.

If your story is selected for the show, you will be expected to work with True Theatre to find time to participate in 1 – 3 rehearsals (as needed) and then participate in the show.

More details about True Theatre’s selection process can be found at http://www.truetheatre.com/auditions.html.

Other shows that True Theatre is producing this season (and for which they are looking for storytellers) include:

  • Monday, Apr 14, 2014 – trueDATING
  • Monday, July 28, 2014 – trueBLOOD

[All shows are at 7:30PM]

If you have a story that you think fits one of these themes or just have one that you gotta share, reach out to True Theatre by the methods listed above.

Special Effects Artist Needed for TCP’s DEATHTRAP

TCPHi everyone,

I am in search of a special effects – weapons specialist. I am directing a production of DEATHTRAP that opens January 17th. Besides gun fire, there is strangulation with a garrote, being shot with a crossbow and stabbing by arrow. So in other words lots of blood.

Please contact me if you are interested and capable of handling this SE design.

Thanks
Judy Berrens
