Crew Call #1 (and #2)!


It's time to build the set!  Well, that and run the sound...

We'll be here Saturday from 100p-600p and Monday from 330p-600p working on the set installation and on running the basic sound rig.

If you're on the Scenic or Sound teams: See you there (for at least part of it, yeah?); Anyone else is certainly invited to help!

Remember to come to the Stage Door for entry, as it'll be the only door open!

Hit me up with any questions...

Costume Sizing Form (Cast and Run Crew)


So you wanna look like a high schooler?

...uh, more so than usual?

...as much as usual?

Well, you get the idea.  Your Costume Team is hard at work building your aesthetic for the show and needs your input!

Linked below is a Google Form wherein we need you to list your off-the-rack sizes for various items of clothing.  

Costuming Google Form

Cast AND Run Crew need to complete this form by the end of the school day this Friday, 3/11 so we can shop for you this weekend and begin building your look.  

(yes, Run Crew...they'll be seen onstage, and we need to build those looks as well)

Thanks, friends!

TW13 - The Audition Packet / Info Meeting



Click HERE to access the audition packet. Mr. Miller will also have hard copies available, so ask for a packet to fill out - or you can always print your own.

I can't express enough how important it is that interested actors and their guardians read the information thoroughly and have things filled out and signed when actors show up to audition on 3/10.

To ask questions, learn about audition expectations, get tips on what I'm looking for during the casting process - and anything else! - come to the INFORMATION MEETING on W 3/5 1:00p - 2:00p in 108.

And as always, I am here to answer any and all questions vie email at:

TW13 - The Audition Draft




Click HERE to download / read the Audition Draft of The Demolition.

NOTE: For over a decade, one of the most exciting parts of Teen West Project is the developmental process for the script. Though this is fairly "complete", it is not "finished". 

Changes will take place, particularly over spring break, after massive amounts of character work and collaboration have happened. New Work is always in flux - which is what makes this such a thrilling opportunity for all of us!

The Demolition - LAUNCH!



SouthWest StageWorks 
in association with Playwrights West
presents

Teen West Project: Year 13
The Demolition
written and directed by
Matthew B. Zrebski

As the search for a missing young man intensifies, pieces of homes and buildings begin to disappear. Doorknobs, walls, floorboards - the elements allowing boundary, privacy, safety - gone. A group of teenagers is tossed into chaos, forced to grapple with exposure - made to look hard in the mirrors - and at each other. When nothing but an open field is left, that will they do?

GENERAL INFORMATION
This play has 17 on-stage roles and 1 voice-over role.

The current gender breakdown is: 7m, 8f, 3x. But there is flexibility to switch some roles should the casting process reveal a desire to make script alterations regarding gender.

Each character is featured in two scenes plus a full-cast "finale". This story structure allows for a fairly stress free rehearsal process as no one will have a huge line load. This is truly an ensemble piece.

KEY DATES
