CAPITAL REPERTORY THEATRE ANNOUNCES

REPERTORY THEATRE ANNOUNCES OPEN EQUITY PRINCIPAL AUDITIONS AND A
LIMITED NON-UNION ACTOR CALL FOR THE 2012-13 SEASON ON FRI., AUG. 17,
10AM - 6PM AT CAPITAL REP, 111 N. PEARL ST., ALBANY, NY 12207.  

The
theatre seeks Equity actors for its upcoming season of plays and
musicals including THIS WONDERFUL LIFE, a delightful one-actor
adaptation of the Frank Capra movie "It's A Wonderful Life," RACE, David
Mamet's searing play about a white executive accused of raping a black
woman; SINGLE GIRLS GUIDE, a world premiere musical loosely based on
Jane Austen's EMMA, written by Gordon Greenberg with lyrics and music by
Tommy Newman and RED, John Logan's Tony-Award winning drama about Mark
Rothko, the American expressionist painter who is forced to face his
inner-demons, as he mentors a new assistant 

In addition, Capital Rep
will be seeking actors and singers - Equity and non-Equity -- to
participate in NEXT ACT, the theatre's new play summit, which takes
place Nov 2, 3 and 4. NEXT ACT is the first collaborative project being
produced in conjunction with Capital Rep's partner organization,
Proctors. The three-day new play summit features two play readings,
presentations about the play development process that will be co-hosted
by the Upstate Equity Actors Alliance, a critics' roundtable and a
staged reading of a musical from the submitted plays. Play and musical
titles to be included in the summit will be announced in September. The
theatre seeks Equity and non-Equity singer-actors who can read music and
are excellent sight-readers for the musical staged reading.  

The
theatre also seeks two non-union singing actresses, 20s, sopranos/belt,
for roles in SINGLE GIRLS GUIDE. 

Equity Member Candidates will be
allowed to audition for the role of the assistant, "Ken," in RED.
