NW20 Update - Auditions and Scripts


As we all recover from the strike and adjust schedules, some calendar issues have come up with the original plan to hold NW20 auditions the week of 12/11. 

It is highly likely we will move auditions to:
M 12/18 and T 12/19 with First Read on W 12/20.

If we make this move, we will work to accommodate those who might be leaving town early due to "pre-strike plans". 

We will update and confirm very soon once we know a bit more.

Until then, please click HERE to read the "Audition Drafts". Please note: these drafts are not final - they are "in progress" and rewrites will occur. 

The audition will not require you to memorize anything, so the best thing you can be doing to prepare is to get familiar with the plays.

Audition Packets / Forms will be posted once we better know the schedule.

We have concerns that due to the frantic nature of recovering from the strike and opening Spelling Bee along with the holidays, some may be exhausted and not come out to audition. We hope that's not the case - this process will be celebratory and...this is YEAR 20 of New Works - it's a big deal!!!

As always, if you have questions / concerns, contact Matt at:
