Opportunity

 I’m Raelyn, CCRI’s Training and Program Coordinator for the Title IX Department.

 

We’re looking for volunteers to participate in a Title IX Role-Playing Training for our Title IX Deputies at CCRI. You'll receive a character breakdown and prompts, then help deputies practice responding to real-world situations through role-play. No memorization needed—just bring your improv skills and a willingness to engage. This is a great way to gain experience while contributing to an important campus initiative.

 

We are hoping to get 5-10 students for this project. The session is scheduled for. We would most likely want to do a pre session meeting prior to hand out the scenario and discuss roles and the content. If interested—please email rcouto6@ccri.edu

Marian, or the True Tale of Robin Hood Auditions

 Hello everyone! 


It's almost time for auditions for our next production: Marian, or the True Tale of Robin Hood in the Fall Semester! Auditions will take place next week in the BABs on Friday, May 2nd from 1-4pm with callbacks Saturday, May 3rd from 6-9pm.

Here are the audition sides as well as the callback sides and full script. Please prepare one of the provided audition monologues of your choice. If you receive a callback, you will be asked to read as one or more characters. I will also print out the audition and callback sides if you prefer a hard copy. 

Please fill out this form AND sign up for an audition. Be aware that auditions are held the same day as 091s so be sure to sign up for a time slot that doesn't conflict with your appointment. Reminder that ALL theatre majors are required to audition but can put yourself on the DO NOT CAST list.

I will list below the character breakdowns. Some roles may or may not be double cast. 

Marian/Robin: Female-identifying. Strong-minded. Duel-personality. 
Alanna Dale: Female-identifying. An opionated wordsmith with a feminist POV. 
Much the Miller’s Son: Nonbinary (can be played by female, male, transgender, genderqueer, or non-binary individual). Quirky, and finding themselves. 
Tommy of No Consequence. Played as male by any gender. Passive, hopeful. 
Sir Lenny the Observant/Tanner/Guard: Played as male by any gender. Not that Observant/Friendly, Humble 
Prince John: Male-identifying. Emotional. Unfaithful. A player. 
Little John: Male, large/tell. Gentle, loyal, kind, heroic. 
Sheriff of Nottingham/Friar Tuck: Male-identifying. Jealous, authoritative, unholy. 
Lady Shirley: Female-identifying. Leads with elegant flirtation. 
Lucy/Guard: Played as female by any gender. A proud concubine.  
Will Scarlett: Female-identifying (played as male). Charming. 
Sir Theo the Punctual/Guard: Played as male by any gender. Not that Punctual, Slow-minded. 
Guard 1 and Guard 2: Played as male by any gender. Humorously serves and protects.

Audition Opportunity

 



Internship Opportunity

I wanted to make sure you and your students know about a paid summer internship program available with the City of Providence called the Summer Mayoral Fellowship. For the last two summers that I’ve been here ACT has been assigned a summer fellow – and they were awesome, but they were also from Brown and RISD. My suspicion is that many of our students from some of the public schools (or just not Brown/RISD) don’t know that this opportunity is out there.

While of course I hope your students select ACT as their number one, every city dept can have a summer fellow and there are a lot of interesting avenues in city government a young person could follow. You have to be an enrolled undergrad, but other than that it’s very open.

Please share the application widely to your student and faculty networks. The applications close May 10.

All the best,

Rebecca Noon

Fall Production Auditions: Friday 5/2/25

Hello all --

The theatre program is excited to announce that the first production of Fall 2025 will be:

Marian, or the True Tale of Robin Hood by Adam Szymkowicz, directed by Gia Yarn, of Trinity Repertory Company.

Auditions for this show will be held in two weeks: 

Friday, 5/2/25 from 1-4pm in the BABS. 

Callbacks are currently scheduled for the following Saturday evening, 5/3/25 from 6-9pm, again in the BABS.

Gia Yarn will be submitting sides for the audition, so you do not need to prepare your own monologue.

The sides, audition application link, sign-up sheet, and more details about the play will be posted on the Callboard next Friday.

In the meantime, have a great weekend!


Quick Note about THTR 091 Appointments: Some of you may have a THTR 091 appointment with Bill Wilson and myself that afternoon. We will post the new location of these meetings once we've determined the best place (probably either in Bill's office or upstairs in the MTD conference room.) 

When the sign-up sheet for the auditions is posted, be sure to choose a time that doesn't conflict with your 091 appointment. 

Lastly -- Bill and I understand that 091 appointments and audition processes can fall behind, so we will do our best to work around your audition slot.
