[Capdist-auditions] Casting notice for Bridge Street Theatre's 2016 Kaliyuga Arts Season

[Steven Patterson]

*Auditions for Bridge Street Theatre’s 2016 Kaliyuga Arts Season*

 *Local auditions for Equity, EMC, and non-Equity talent will be held in 10
minute increments at the theater, 44 West Bridge Street in Catskill, on
Saturday February 27 between 11am and 4pm. Equity talent will be seen
without appointment as time permits. A monitor will not be provided – the
producer will run all aspects of this audition. If you wish to make an
appointment for the auditions in Catskill, please email
casting at bridgest.org <casting at bridgest.org> with a convenient time for you
and we will attempt to schedule you for a 10-minute audition slot as close
to that time as we possibly can.*

 *NYC auditions will be held on Friday March 4 from 9:30am to 5:30pm (Lunch
from 1-2) at the Equity Audition Center on the 16th floor of 165 West 46th
Street. EPA Rules will be in effect and a monitor will be provided. Since
only one or two Equity contracts will be available for each of our
productions, we will definitely be interested in seeing EMC and non-Equity
talent as time permits.*

 *For all auditions, please prepare a brief monologue suitable to the
role(s) for which you wish to be considered. Please have a second,
contrasting monologue prepared should we request it. All Equity actors cast
will be employed under a Special Appearance contract at $229/wk. No work
weeks will accrue for either EMC points or health insurance. Housing and
one-time round trip transportation is available to artist from outside a
50-mile radius of Catskill. All non-Equity talent will receive a small
stipend.*

 *If you are unable to be present at either of the audition calls, but wish
to submit a headshot and resume (or already have), we will keep them on
file and contact you should we wish to see you for casting consideration in
the future.*
