About This Production:
This non-traditional production of “The Fantasticks” will have a contemporary setting, but will be heavily influenced by and the sights and sounds of the 20s and 30s, as its “troupe of travelling players” revisit its songs and scenes within the framework of vintage carnivals and tent revivals. Incorporating retro musical sounds and instrumentation of bands like Mumford & Sons and the Decemberists, and merging hipster design elements and the use of aerial choreography, we will work to find a new simplicity, darkness, and rootedness in the feel of the piece. Performers with unique special abilities, circus or aerial skills, or proficiency with musical instruments are of particular interest. Please highlight these abilities for us in your email!

With music by Harvey Schmidt and book and lyrics by Tom Jones, this much-loved show tells a funny and romantic tale of a boy, a girl, two fathers, and a wall. Under the sway of the puckish narrator, El Gallo, the boy and the girl fall in love, grow apart, and, in the end, find their way back to each other after realizing the truth in the words that “without a hurt, the heart is hollow.” “The Fantasticks” will open on September 5 and runs through September 29, 2013. Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays are 8pm shows. Sundays are 3pm matinees. Rehearsals will begin in July and will most likely be held Monday-Thursday from 7pm-10pm, though some weekend rehearsals as well. All performers in the production will receive a stipend of $300 (flat) for the run of the show. (Travel stipends available for those travelling great distances.) *At this point we are unable to work with equity performers. — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: Live Event

Auditions – The Foreigner – 1358047

castingcallfree — Tue, 21 May 2013 13:45:09 +0000

05-21-13 – San Francisco, CA>Reno, NV – The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by “Froggy” LeSeuer, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time “Froggy” has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So “Froggy,” before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie overhears more than he should—the evil plans of a sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck associate; the fact that the minister’s pretty fiancée is pregnant; and many other damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn’t understand a word being said. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the “bad guys,” and the “good guys” emerge triumphant.

Audition Announcement – MAME – 1357687

castingcallfree — Mon, 20 May 2013 13:45:14 +0000

05-20-13 – San Francisco, CA>Reno, NV – A classic musical based on the novel “Auntie Mame”

An audition pianist will be provided. Please bring properly prepared sheet music in your key and be prepared to sing a contemporary musical theatre song similar in style to Mame. It would be appropriate to bring a second song just in the case the Music Director asks. Please note, we have many people auditioning for this show so we only need to hear enough to make a decision; we may cut you off after 16 bars.

“Tune the grand up, dance your shoes off, strike the band up, it’s today!” So begins the musical tale of Mame Dennis, an eccentric bohemian whose way of life is abruptly altered when she becomes the guardian of her late brother’s son, Patrick. The madcap adventures of “Auntie Mame” and her nephew take us from the speak-easies of the roaring 1920′s to the Great Depression and World War II, as the pair experience living life to the fullest and celebrating all it has to offer. With a lavish score by Jerry Herman, featuring such popular hits as “We Need A Little Christmas,” “Bosom Buddies,” and “If He Walked Into My Life,” Mame is one of Broadway’s greatest musical masterpieces. — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: Live Event

Chrysalis Theatre – Godspell Auditions – 1357589

castingcallfree — Mon, 20 May 2013 13:45:13 +0000

05-20-13 – San Francisco, CA>Reno, NV – Godspell Auditions:

Rehearsals: June 10 – August 8
Performances: August 9, 10

This fast-paced and upbeat intensive will build skills and confidence in dance, improv, clowning, and more!

More than age or experience, we’re looking for students who are willing to invest 110%, holding nothing back. In this show, every character is a lead role, so every actor must be reasonably comfortable in the spotlight. The success of the show depends upon the willingness of each actor to rock out, try new things, and “just go with it”!

Casting notes: The original production of GODSPELL was performed by a cast of five men and five women. While many productions have been done with a different gender balance or with more or less people, the script reflects the original cast breakdown.

In the script, other than the characters of Jesus and John the Baptist, the characters are called by the first names of the original cast members. (For purposes of the program, the first names of the actors in each individual production may be substituted.) In any given production, each actor will bring his or her own personality traits to the character, but it is helpful for the director to look for certain salient personality characteristics when casting each role. This allows the individual cast members to be different enough from one another for the audience to distinguish them, and it makes the specific assignments of lines in the script make sense from a personality and character arc point-of-view. — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: Live Event
