Pool: Callbacks #2

TEEN WEST:  YEAR FOUR
The Pool Behind the Old Brick School
Callbacks #2 / Thurs. 11-19 / 4p - 7p


Thank you to all who auditioned at the first callbacks.  If you are not on the following list, you are still in consideration for a role in the production.  THIS IS NOT A CUT.  I am having to use the limited audition hours wisely to investigate options in the most efficient manner.

Mattie Richardson
Ezra Braxton
Gwyneth Ann Bushman
Kendall Berry
Sydney Yeargers
Will Banks
Eli Malloy
Grace Dills
Lucy Grissom
Wolf Morgan-Steiner
Julia Taylor
Maggie Conroy
Andrew Foran
Lena Bodeit
Grace Dotson
Diego Millan
Maddy Conkle
Daniel Nyounai-Herrera

For the second callback, the above actors will read scenes from the play.  Sides will be given to actors at the audition as they come in to read.  It is highly recommended that all actors become even more familiar with the current draft.  Actors will be released from auditions as the day progresses, but all should be prepared to stay until 7:00p.

NOTE: Actors may also be asked to sing.  (No prep required.)

Audition Reminders!

Reminder for the auditions today:

1) Bring your audition form and a headshot!
(The computers in the drama room take pictures and there's a printer there. ;-) )

2) There's still room in the general auditions for a few more to sign up...Check the callboard for audition times if you're still on the fence!

Thank you so much, on behalf of both (SW)2 and Playwrights West, for the groundswell of interest in auditioning for this fascinating project!

Teen West Year 4: Reading!

YOU ARE INVITED!!!

Teen West Year 4:
The Pool Behind the Old Brick School by Andrew Wardenaar
Reading of current draft + Group discussion

WHEN:  Monday 10/12 from 7:00p - 9:30p

WHERE:  Room 108

WHO:  We need around 12 readers for the draft.  This is, IN NO WAY, an audition for the eventual production.  This is an opportunity to allow the playwright to hear the play and to listen to questions from you as he moves into creating the audition draft that will be the basis for casting later this fall.   We are allowing for 20 total participants. 

Please sign up on the call board ASAP!

The Prime Article!!!

IMPORTANT: Schedule Update and Reminders

Congrats on a VERY successful opening!!!

ONE
This is a reminder that on Sunday, 2/15, following the matinee, there is an archive photo shoot of the show. DO NOT get out of costume or make-up after curtain call on Sunday.  You may say hello to your audience in costume.  And then go directly back into the theatre and wait for instructions.  We will be shooting the show in reverse order, starting with the ending.  Once we have finished with a particular group or cast member, we will release them.  The shoot should end no later than 5:30p.  

Photos will be taken by Steve Patterson, a Playwrights West member.  I would also love for Jenna Hillenbrand to shoot as well (for any shots she is not in).  Jenna, please confirm with me.

TWO
This is a slight schedule and preparations change.  

Wednesday 2/18
Pick-Up Rehearsal / Video Shoot
(This is now not only a brush up run-through, but the official videotaping of the show.  As a result, you must now be in full hair and make-up and treat the run exactly as a show.  There will be no audience except for the two camera operators.)
CALL:  3:30p
GO:  4:30p
*Given the start time could be slightly delayed due to video set up, make-up, etc, I would plan on your release time being around 6:30p.  Please plan ahead and have snacks that you can eat as you get ready.
