Please send this audition notice out! Thanks!




"Free For All" Productions announces auditions for there first production: 


The Laramie Project 


Summary: 
In October 1998 Matthew Shepard was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming.  Five weeks later, Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project went to Laramie, and over the course of the next year, conducted more than 200 interviews with people of the town.  From these interviews they wrote the play The Laramie Project, a chronicle of the life of the town of Laramie in the year after the murder.  THE LARAMIE PROJECT is one of the most performed plays in America today.


Free for all is a new student run group, based in Albany New York. Our goal is to give young theater enthusiast experience in areas such as acting, directing, stage design, lighting, costume etc. 


**[Recommended ages is anywhere from 15-30 years old. Although the company will be based of mostly high school and college students we are looking to cast some of the older roles.]


In a limited time our first goal is to put together the compelling story of a play inspired by actual events. The Laramie Project has over 20 roles in the show, that will most likely be double cast. In the typical production 4 men and 4 women double as all the roles. Casting size will depend on audition turnout. 


For auditions it is highly recommended that you bring a dramatic monologue up to one minute long. If you do not bring one, a monologue from the show will be provided. Also some people will be asked to stay and read scenes from the show.


Auditions will be held Wednesday and Thursday January 5th & 6th, at the "Sons of Italy in America" social club, located on 2984 Hamburg St, Schenectady, NY 12303. Both nights auditions will be from 7PM-930PM. Sign ups will begin at 645PM. 


Please be prepared for a rehearsal period through the month of January in the evenings. Along with dress rehearsals one week before the show opens. Please bring a list of conflicts with you to the auditions.
