<div dir="ltr"><div>Confetti Stage Auditions for The Tempest at Ten Broeck Mansion Garden<br><br>Auditions for Shakespeare's the Tempest will be held <span><span>on Monday</span></span> and <span><span>Tuesday, May 12 & 13</span></span>. Sign-in starts at <span><span>6:30</span></span> and auditions will begin promptly at <span><span>7:00pm</span></span>. <br>
</div>Auditions will be held at the Albany Masonic Hall, 67 Corning Place, in downtown Albany.<br> <br>What
does it mean to be civilized? What does it mean to be good and evil?
Is that which is "civilized" always "good", thereby that which is
"uncivilized" always "bad"? These are the themes to be explored in
Confetti Stage's production of <u>The Tempest</u>. This will be a
multi-ethnic, gender, and age production to be performed in the
beautiful outdoor setting of Ten Broeck Mansion <span><span>August 1-3</span></span>, and <span><span>August 8-10</span></span>. While we are looking for many different types of people to fill the
roles, the production is to take on a more Africanized quality to the
spirituality, movement and magic that the show possesses, including
limited African dance. <br> <br>However, we will be using the
traditional (and beautiful) Shakespearean language. BUT DO NOT LET THAT
SCARE YOU! Whether you have done Shakespeare before or not; if you
have never acted before; if you just love the Bard; come out and
audition! <br> <br>This production will REQUIRE multiple ethnicities
and genders. All roles (with the exception of Caliban, Miranda,
Francisco, and Stephano) are open to ALL ethnicities, genders, and ages
17 and above. Caliban, Miranda, Francisco, and Stephano will be filled
with their traditional genders. <br> <br>Actors should come with: <br>1. A prepared 1 minute monologue from any Shakespearean play. It does not need to be memorized, but PREPARED! <br>2. Actors auditioning for Trinculo or Stephano should prepare a comedic monologue. <br>
3.
Actors auditioning for Caliban may prepare a comedic or dramatic
monologue, but should also demonstrate physicality, as Caliban is a very
physically demanding role. <br>4. All other roles will require
dramatic monologues. It is suggested that actors avoid monologues
delivered by Macbeth or Lady Macbeth. Actors may also be asked to read
from the script.<br> <br>If you cannot make it to either of the audition dates, please contact the director Liana Martino at <a href="mailto:tinkerbelltrail@hotmail.com" target="_blank">tinkerbelltrail@hotmail.com</a>, and an alternate date MAY be able to be arranged for you. <br clear="all">
