The following actors are asked to come in for additional call backs on Wednesday 12/10 at 4:00p.  People will be released throughout the afternoon/evening, but all should be prepared to stay until 7:00p.  When you arrive tomorrow, please go to room 108 and wait for further instruction.

CONFLICTS - MANDATORY DATES REMINDER

It may seem silly to repost this, but you'd be surprised how many forget this important stipulation.  I am looking closely at conflicts as I consider casting.  But I assume you have cleared all conflicts for the mandatory dates.

EXAMPLE:  You may say, "I have lessons on Thursday afternoons."  My understanding, should you be cast, is that you are adjusting your Thursdays to accommodate mandatory dates.  I hope this makes sense.

So...one more time, here is what you and your guardians have signed as an agreement to audition for Prime.  And remember, one of the dates is THIS THURSDAY 12/11 4:15p - 6:00p.

Thanks for indulging the reiteration...  :)


***IMPORTANT***

CONFLICTS / MANDATORY TIMES
As would be expected with any committed extracurricular, such as athletics, few conflicts will be accepted.  We will try to work around student schedules, but conflicts DO go into the casting decision.  It is expected that this project becomes the #1 extracurricular priority for any student participating.

Consider the schedule on the previous page and note that the following dates are mandatory and not negotiable.  No student should audition if he/she has an unchangeable conflict on these dates.  No exceptions.  The dates are:

Thurs. 12/11, 4:15p – 6:00p
Mon. 1/19, 10:00a - 6:00p
All dates & times Mon. 1/26 through Sun. 2/22*


*NOTE:  Failure to attend strike on 2/22 will result in exclusion from all SouthWest StageWorks activities until the time is made up.

FIRST CALL BACKS

Thank you so much to all who auditioned.  It was a pleasure working with you; you should all be very proud of the focused effort.  There was terrific commitment in the work.  

If you are not called back below, I am no longer considering you for this production.  That said, I sincerely hope no one will interpret this as a negative critique of their talent.  Each and every one of you who came out today possesses talent, and it's my hope you will continue to train and pursue your goals.  I also hope that you will consider participating in this show in other ways - like crew or front of house!

CALL BACK LIST (with corresponding audition #)
Please come into the auditorium at 4:15p sharp tomorrow, Tuesday 12/9, for a brief meeting.  We will then begin readings from the play.  If you are involved in the choir concert, please alert me at the top of the callback, so I can get you in earlier.  Everyone should be prepared to stay until 7:00p if necessary.

The Audition!!!

Want to audition???

1.  Here is the link for the audition packet:  HERE! This must be read thoroughly and signed by both you and a legal guardian PRIOR to coming to general auditions.  You may also pick up a copy from Jamie Miller.

2.  Please sign up on the call board for a slot.  Please sign up for the earliest time you can attend.  We want to fill the latest slots last if possible.

3.  If you cannot make generals but want to audition, please email me at matthew.b.zrebski@gmail.com.  Explain your situation.  There is no guarantee I will still consider you.  But it is always worth a try.  :)

4.  I am aware of the choir concert on Tuesday 12/9.  If you audition and are called back - and are part of the choir event - you will be released by 6:00p.

LAST:  If you are hesitant about auditioning, because you are nervous or have little experience, please come out and give it a shot!  It is important that all of you embrace the idea that it is okay to try it and make mistakes.  You never know what will happen - and inevitably, you will learn something from the experience.  So come out to auditions prepared and with a professional attitude - but also with a sense of fun and abandon.  It will be a great time!

Warmly,
MZ
