Actors Needed for Original Piece

We were recently contacted by Julie Batten, director of Glass Houses Shelter Project. She is looking for actors to help out with an original play written by a young student. If you are interested, please contact her at glasshouseshelterproject@gmail.com. Here are the details: 

I work one-on-one with students interested in producing longer works (plays, novels, etc). Earlier this summer, I helped a 17 year old who attends Phillips-Exeter Academy put the finishing touches on a play that is scheduled to be performed at the Providence Public Library on August 26th. Rehearsals will run every day 1-5 pm at the PPL from August 11-15; 17-21. Tech rehearsals will take place  August 24-25 and the actual performance is on August  26th (7-8:30 pm). We are calling it a staged reading as the rehearsal time is so short but some memorization would be helpful.

While we have some room to double up roles for characters not appearing in the same scenes, we need a minimum of 7 young actors (five male and two female) and one 8 (ish) year old boy (or a petite teenager who can pull that off). 

The PPL and Ocean State Media will be advertising this, so we anticipate that it will be well-attended and participants will be in the spotlight.

Right now, my priority is to round up enough interested actors to hold an informal audition next Thursday evening (7/30 -- location TBD). Please note that my co-collaborator, Christopher Hoyt (Program Manager at First Works) will be helping us deliver a professional production complete with sound, lights, minimal props, etc.!

Audition Notice for Wilbury -- Amplified by Trinity's Becky Gibel!

Hello, all --

Regional actress Becky Gibel has reached out to us regarding the upcoming Wilbury season. 

Here is her message:

"I wanted to amplify an audition opportunity for young people at the Wilbury, because so many of your students are so darn gifted, hard-working, and READY!

Rebecca Willingham, a friend and wonderful director (formerly Chicago-based, a Jeff Award-winner, and all around fantastically brilliant human), is gearing up to hold auditions for the rock musical, “Seagulls” at Wilbury Theatre Group in PVD. The piece is very loosely inspired by The Seagull and follows four close friends, who are in a college band together, as they navigate making art, fame, and relationships

They're specifically looking for actors who are college age/early 20s who can play instruments. Folks can audition in-person or submit a video but must be local for the show. 

We have a full season ourselves at RIC, but do check out the audition information, just in case. It's always good to see what is going on professionally in the area, and to see what projects are being produced. Also -- while you may not be able to do Seagulls, you may be interested in other shows that don't conflict with our Theatre and Dance schedule.

Here is the Playbill LINK.
