NW16: Casting Notice / First Rehearsal

The auditions were truly a joy. In all the years of New Works, this group of actors is in my top 3 - easily!  You all revealed yourselves to be incredibly talented, thoughtful, respectful, and kind.  Everyone should be so proud! Sadly, I cannot cast everyone. My hope is that, after processing any disappointment, those not cast will strongly consider being involved in other ways. We will have more information on crew and other opportunities very soon. As well, anyone not cast who would like feedback on their audition may email me to set up a brief conversation.  Please read everything below!

NW16: URGENT - Parent / Guardian Signature

Some actors, due to last minute decisions to sign up, did not acquire the proper parent / guardian signature on the audition form.  

There are 4 of you.  

Those 4 must now have their guardian email me directly and tell me that they fully support their child auditioning and participating in this production.  

matthew.b.zrebski@gmail.com

I need to receive these emails no later than 8:00p this evening (10/2).

NW16: Callbacks Day 1 Notice

NW16:  Monumental

Callback Auditions Day 1

W 10/2  (4:15p – 7:30p)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!  100% CALLED BACK!!!

As a result of the absolutely stellar work in general auditions, I have found it important to see more before I can make any cuts. Given the focused and extremely thoughtful effort over the two days, I am calling everyone back for the first day of callbacks.  (No one is allowed to join callbacks only for incentive points.)

That said, the following actors are called back provisionally, because paperwork indicates more information is needed to officially allow a callback audition. These issues could be regarding conflicts, grades, missing information, etc.  Do not be alarmed; an additional conversation is simply needed.

The following need to arrive at 4:00p to discuss this:

Zachary Goldsmith

Leila Besic

Claire Richards

Jared Reynolds

Sam Green

Mak Johnson

Jo Nagle 

Connor Howe*

Josh Fravel*

Tucker Bowerfind*

*Please alert the lobby SM as soon as you arrive; I know you can’t make it at 4:00p due to cross country.

Please remember, there are more callbacks scheduled for Thursday 10/3. That list will be announced by 8:00a tomorrow morning.  

As always, email me should you have any questions.

NW16: Callbacks will be announced...

The callback list will be posted on the blog no later than: 

Wednesday 10/2 at 8:00a

The callback list will also be posted on the door but may be later - by noon.

A reminder:  if you have a conflict with any of the callback times, you must email to request special consideration (e.g., coming a little late, leaving early, etc.)

email:  matthew.b.zrebski@gmail.com

More very soon!
