PLAYMAKERS AUDITIONS FOR UNDERGRADUATE ACTORS
PlayMakers Repertory Company’s auditions for its 2012-2013 theatre season will be held February 24th. Auditions will be conducted by Jeffrey Meanza, PRC’s Associate Artistic Director.
The schedule is as follows:
Friday, February 24: 1:00-4:00pm
Auditions will be held in the Frey Rehearsal Hall, located on the second floor at the Center for Dramatic Art on the campus of UNC-CH. Walk-ins are welcome as time permits, but appointments are strongly suggested.
PlayMakers is eager to identify a local pool of undergraduate actors available for casting in its 2012-13 season. Actors who have auditioned in the past and continue to be interested in working with the company should also schedule appointments.
In addition to looking for actors in PlayMakers’ season, Mr. Meanza will screen interested undergraduate actors for Chautauqua Theater Company’s 2012 summer Conservatory. Among the roles they are specifically looking to cast are:
- Grant: a teenage boy in the world premiere of Kate Fodor's Fifty Ways
- Dinah Lord in The Philadelphia Story
- Miranda and Ferdinand in The Tempest.
Call backs for the company will be held on February 29 with CTC Artistic Director, Vivienne Benesch. There is a $10 audition fee due at call backs.
PlayMakers is an equal opportunity employer. All undergraduate actors of diverse backgrounds and abilities are encouraged to audition.
All undergraduate actors who wish to audition should contact Adam Lindstaedt, PRC Company Manager, at 919-619-3485 or adamhm@email.unc.edu to schedule an audition time.
For the audition, please prepare two monologues: one from a contemporary work and one from a classic work. Each monologue should be 2 minutes in length. Those students interested in singing should select 16 bars from contemporary musical theatre. An accompanist will not be provided.
