We went and saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight and Luke Evans was out- the cast was phenomenal and anything Sam Pinkleton touches is gold.
Paul Soileau ( known in drag as CHRISTEENE) hit all the right notes and left the audience wanting more.
It can be disappointing when the star you’ve come to see calls isn’t on, but I am beyond thrilled I got to see Paul.
Hello! I recently submitted this for a callback, it is a cut of Moving Too Fast from The Last Five Years. It is a strange jump from a low bit to the high note and it is difficult for me to execute. What do yall think?
A local theatre is doing a production of Mary Poppins, and I filled out the Google Form for an “Audition request” on February 26th. I got an initial email (pic #1) saying that I should receive my audition date and materials within a couple of weeks.
Flash forward to March 25th, I emailed back asking if they had a timeline bc I will have to adjust my work schedule. They responded that they expected to send out everything on March 27th. (Email pic #2)
Flash forward to April 4th, I still have nothing so I followed up to ask if they had been sent.
I know local theatre producers/directors are very busy and this is usually NOT their full time job. So I completely understand that not everything is going to be quick and I really am trying to be patient. BUT now I’m worried that they didn’t send me the audition information bc I emailed them too much.
If you were a director or producer, and someone emailed twice between Feb. 26 and April 4, would it annoy you?
Even if this is just a rant, please be kind. I’m just a retired theatre kid trying to get back into it.
TLDR - Signed up for an audition 43 days ago, emailed about and was told packets would be sent to everyone March 27th, now it’s been 2 weeks with no info and no response after I emailed 3 days ago.
My 9 year old is doing a local open call audition this Sunday.
It’s just an opportunity for some local casting directors to see who’s out there.
She’ll be singing a 1 min cut of a song and has prepped a monologue. They also want headshots and resumes.
She’s VERY excited. I’ve reminded her it is not attached to a particular show and that she should just go out and have fun and do her best.
Any other tips, especially for me as a parent? I want to strike the right tone.
I’m a choreographer looking to expand my resume. I’m also looking to perform more as well. I’m willing to travel to neighboring areas. How do you find auditions, opportunities, gigs, etc? I’m in some facebook audition posting groups, but I see more show and theater promotions than actual audition opportunities or choreographer listings. Is there something like LinkedIn but specifically for theatre??
The next Chronicle for the King Arthur musical is out!
So i’m a freshman at a bfa program , and i’m just now wanting to take steps to transfer. (it’s april) but i know auditions are over now. What should i do? I’m just not happy where i am and don’t feel like im learning much and i can’t find much information on transfering out of a bfa into another. Please any advice 🙏
My son is a theatre major at a school in Massachusetts and wants to move to a school in NYC. He was already accepted to the NYC school and would already be there if not for the outrageous sum of money to get a degree. He has been involved in theatre for the last 5 years and has a great resume. The question we are pondering is if school is a necessity these days or is it better to just try and jump in to auditions and learn the trade that way. We want to support him but don’t know what’s a better way. Any insights would be appreciated.
