Third Date Added to Local Theatre Mass-Auditions
Because of high demand, ten of Detroit's local theatre companies have now added a 3rd date to their joint general auditions. Appointments are required for all three auditions, made by emailing Frannie Shepard-Bates, Magenta Giraffe Theatre Company Artistic Director, frannie@magentagiraffe.org.
Those dates are:
June 22 and 23, 2010, at the Furniture Factory in Detroit.
June 29, 2010 at the Planet Ant Theatre in Hamtramck.
Here's some more info for potential auditioners:
Theatres attending auditions will be Abreact Performance Space (Detroit), Blackbird Theatre (Ann Arbor), Breathe Art Theatre Project (Detroit/Windsor), Magenta Giraffe Theatre Company (Detroit), Matrix Theatre Company (Detroit) Performance Network (Ann Arbor), Planet Ant Theatre (Hamtramck), Project Theatre (Detroit), Who Wants Cake? Theatre (Ferndale) and Williamston Theatre (Williamston).
Male and female actors over the age of 18 from all racial and ethnic backgrounds are encouraged to attend. Appointments are required; walk-ins are welcome but are not guaranteed a slot. Actors must make appointments by e-mailing frannie@magentagiraffe.org, including in the body of the e-mail full name, desired appointment time and phone number. Headshots and résumés should not be attached to the e-mail. No appointments will be made by phone. There will be a first-come, first-served waiting list at the theatre each night of auditions; we will do our best to see everyone. Actors should also bear in mind that several theatres will be holding additional general auditions, and all theatres will hold callbacks for individual productions.
Actors should prepare two contrasting contemporary monologues no longer than three minutes total. Actors should bring ten sets of headshot/résumé and all schedule conflicts for the season (one set for each attending company).
