The audition will take approximately one hour of your time. The audition itself will be about 10 minutes, the rest of the time is an estimate of ‘waiting’ time since we don’t know how many people we’ll be juggling at this point. It could be less. First thing would be signing in. When audition begins, we’ll hope to hear a bit about audition-er, and then, a 3 to 4 minute reading of some section of the play, in narrative and/or dialogue form, with the possibility of rereading the section or reading a different section. Then probably a few more questions about schedules, etc. There will be time to ask us questions of the 2 to 4 of us as well.
Thanks much.
Christopher Akerlind (Director and Producer) and Marty Pottenger (Creator, Writer, and Producer)
