Acting Auditions will be scheduled on Saturday, January 23, 2010 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 pm. in half-hour blocks. All auditionees scheduled for a block will be ushered into the audition space in a group at the beginning of each half-hour block. Callbacks will be posted by producers immediately following the audition block. Callbacks will be held in classrooms on the Muskingum University campus at times determined by each producer. Actors should bring multiple copies of their resumes for callback interviews, and be prepared to perform additional material during callbacks. Callbacks may extend until late evening. Auditionees who wish to spend the night on Friday or Saturday night may choose to stay at a nearby hotel in Cambridge or Zanesville.
Auditionees get a total of ninety seconds, whether they perform two monologues or whether they perform a monologue and a song. Timing begins with the first spoken word in character or action in character. Audition time limits do not include introductions. Please restrict your introduction to your name, your audition number and (optional) the name(s) of the role and/or song.
Last year, representatives from 24 theaters from all over the region watched 202 auditionees and interviewed 35 technicians for work in the professional theatre. More than 75 different colleges and professional theaters were represented by the auditionees. Additionally, 86% of the auditionees received at least one callback and more than 50% received at least 3 callbacks. Approximately 70 auditionees were called back for dance auditions.
