RE: 11/1 and 11/15 Mandatory Dates

I am aware that these mandatory dates have raised concerns.

ONE

Friday 11/1 

10:00a - 6:00p

This date conflicts with Children's Theatre Workshop. We are working this out so no one in NW16 needs to be concerned.

TWO

Friday 11/15

4:15p - 7:00p

This date potentially conflicts with Music-a-thon. We are currently in discussions to see how to handle this.

Bottom line: No one should be concerned about auditioning based on these "mandatory" dates. We are working as an artistic department team to ensure students don't have to "choose".

NW16: The Audition Info Packet! / Sign Ups!

For all who wish to audition for NW16:  Monumental, the audition packet must be read in full and all instructions followed.  You can download it here:

NW16 AUDITION INFO

If you are unable to print at home, please see Mr. Peerenboom and request a copy.  There may also be some available on the auditorium door.

The sign up sheet for generals will be on the auditorium door very soon. Don't delay in signing up!

As always, feel free to reach out with questions, concerns, requests and the like:  matthew.b.zrebski@gmail.com

NW16: Audition Drafts - READ!

In preparation for auditions, all should become very familiar with the current drafts of the plays.  Here is a link to the audition drafts:

AUDITION DRAFTS

What is an audition draft?  

This is the current draft being used for the auditions.  Actors who audition should be prepared (in both the general auditions and call back auditions) to read anything from these plays. 

Are these the final drafts?  

NO.  Numerous rewrites may take place over the course of rehearsals.  New work is never "done" but always "in process".  Typically, scripts will be "set" with no more changes about 1 week from tech rehearsals.  

Enjoy these writers' hard work!

NW16: Stage Manage?

NW16:  Monumental

Want to stage manage? 

Please send me an email explaining why you think you are right and ready for the job!  I am looking for:

1 Lead Stage Manger

2 Assistant Stage Managers

It is also possible, I'll look at other scenarios - SM "teams" where all have equal titles, but slightly different jobs.

Please only apply if you are interested in any job. I’m not interested in an applicant who would “only want lead” or “only want assistant” or "only want to be on a defined team". The jobs are similar and require strong levels of commitment.  

Do not apply until you have looked at your calendar and have determined that you can fully commit.   (see below) 

Do know that I allow SMs to take days off. Part of having a multi-person team is to better allow for school/show/life balance. That said, it is still a large time commitment.

Once I receive emails and consult with Mr. Peerenboom, I will either ask for phone interviews or make offers outright.
