REMINDER:  These schedules are based largely on actor conflicts.  If you are called on a day where you thought you had listed a conflict, always alert me via email.  Do not simply say to yourself, "Hmmm, I'm called that day but I have a conflict.  Matt must know that so I just won't show up."  If you are called, it means there is no conflict listed.  That said, mistakes happen.  It's a lot to juggle.  Hopefully, all is in order!

CALL BACKS #2 -  Friday, 11/30 (4p - 8p)

This phase of the audition will consist of more readings from the scripts along with music / movement work.  Again, come in comfortable/dance/workout clothing and be prepared to work barefoot. (There will be music and movement for sure!)

As with the first round of call backs, people may be released throughout the day.  There will be lots of waiting around, so please come prepared to do homework.  Room 108 will, once again, be designated a quiet space so people can tend to their academic obligations while waiting to be seen.

TW7: Call Backs #1

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The incredibly focused, thoughtful, kind and creative work on display today has resulted in everyone being passed on to the first call backs.  Well deserved!

CALL BACKS #1 -  Thursday, 11/29 (4p - 8p)

This phase of the audition will consist of readings from the scripts along with music / movement work.  Again, come in comfortable/dance/workout clothing and be prepared to work barefoot. 

Please note that people will be released throughout the day.  There will be lots of waiting around, so please come prepared to do homework. Room 108 will be designated a quiet space so people can tend to their academic obligations while waiting to be seen.

See you all soon!

TW7: AUDITIONS!

The link below will take you to the folder containing the audition drafts of 9 of the 11 plays.  These are initial drafts and may go through radical rewrites after the worshopping in December.  

Note that one two pieces are being devised and/or written specifically for those cast:  

Act One Finale (in the library) - by Claire Willett

and

Act Two Choir Room (a mini-musical) - by Matthew B. Zrebski

LINK FOR SCRIPTS

The link below will take you to the audition information packet.  This is lengthy, a little tedious, but MUST BE READ CAREFULLY.  In addition to the form on page 9, we are now requiring a full conflict schedule.  Please do not wait until the day of auditions to fill these out.  I strongly suggest printing it off and filling it all out carefully over Thanksgiving Break.

LINK FOR INFORMATION PACKET

The sign up for general auditions will go up on the call board by the end of school Thursday 11/15.

This is a huge undertaking; I can't wait to get started with the always inspiring artists at SouthWest StageWorks.  I hope everyone is super brave and comes out to audition.  It will be a fun and exhilarating 3 days.  If you are nervous, that's fine! Come out anyway and try something new and exciting!

As always, you may email me with questions at:  matthew.b.zrebski@gmail.com

TW7: Focus Group

Playwrights West and SouthWest StageWorks

proudly present

Teen West Project: Year Seven

A Short in the Wire

by various members of Playwrights West

The goal of the Teen West Project is to develop and eventually publish new theatrical works where aspects of the teen experience are explored and expressed through bold and innovative storytelling. In its seventh year collaborating with SouthWest StageWorks at Wilson High School, Playwrights West will mine the entire company, along with alumni and previous writers of Teen West, to create an evening of short works inspired by the question:  how have you been shorted?  This question, intended to be wide ranging in how it’s perceived, will hopefully generate incredible dialogue within the Wilson student community - conversations around issues of disenfranchisement, outdated systems, archaic paradigms, and uncontrollable life factors that lead to one feeling unable to fully climb the social and economic ladders of our time.

We are inviting students to a gathering on Tuesday 5/29 from 6:00p – 8:00p in the Drama Room.   Please sign up on the call-board if you wish to attend and contribute your thoughts to a conversation with the playwrights and director Matthew B. Zrebski.  (Seniors welcome!)
