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.!
