Vernal Eclipse: Auditions Update

SAVE THE DATES!
PLAN ACCORDINGLY!

The 12th Annual New Works Festival
Vernal Eclipse
Auditions


Scripts will be published for reading by the end of the week (2/26/16). Audition packets with more detailed information will also be made available by the end of the week (2/26/16).

PLEASE NOTE
Understand that GPA is strongly considered when looking at potential actors for the production.  It is imperative that academics not suffer as a result of extra-curricular activities.   A GPA under 2.75 will require an explanation.

Everyone is encouraged to come out and audition regardless of grade, age, cultural background, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, or body type.  We embrace the spirit of diversity and welcome everyone to the process.

GENERALS 
Mon. 3/14, 4p - 6p - sign up for a slot on auditorium door on 2/26
Except for reading the plays, there is nothing to prepare for this audition.  Part of the assessment will be your ability to handle whatever is thrown at you.  Your vocal technique, physical skills, improvisation, and openness to your fellow actors will be key.  This will be a group audition in small groupings. Dress in movement clothing and be prepared to work in bare feet.  A positive, supportive, and intensely focused demeanor is important. 

CALL BACKS 
Tues. 3/15 4p - 6p and Wed. 3/16, 4p – 8p
The call back process will include readings from the scripts and additional investigation of acting skills and the ability to quickly take direction.

CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT
Wed. 3/16, by 11:00p via the blog.  
A post on the door will be available Thurs. 3/17 by 9a.  Note that first rehearsal is that day:  Thurs. 3/17 at 3:30p (mandatory).

ROLE ACCEPTANCE
By simply showing up, any actor auditioning for the show is saying, “I am excited to accept any role offered.”  No requests will be entertained regarding your role preference.   If you get cast and then refuse a role, it may greatly affect future casting at Lincoln Drama, so make your decision to audition wisely.
