[Capdist-auditions] ACT announces auditions for Seminar

[info at albanycivictheater.org]

Auditions for Seminar by Theresa Rebeck
Directed by Laura Darling

November 15 and 16, sign-ups begin at 7:00 pm at Albany Civic Theater

Set in present-day New York City, Seminar follows four young writers —
Kate, Martin, Douglas, and Izzy — and their professor, Leonard. Each
student has paid Leonard $5,000 for a ten-week writing seminar to be
held in Kate's Upper West Side apartment to improve their craft. As
tensions arise and romance falls, they clash over their writing, their
relations, and their futures.

Available roles:
Leonard: (Male, 50+) The seminar's professor, he has long, dramatic
history as a writer and can be a real jerk.
Martin: (Male, 20's-30's) A writer who is struggling financially. He is
afraid to show his work to anyone but is very talented.
Douglas: (Male, 20's-30's) Nephew of a famous playwright. He can
actually write, but is constantly accused of "name dropping." Sporty,
"Alpha Male" energy.
Izzy: (Female, 20's-30's) Deemed a good writer from the beginning, she
is overtly sexy and edgy.
Kate: (Female, 20's-30's) Her writing is immediately criticized. She
constantly tries to prove herself and has never had to financially
struggle. Likely reads way too many Jane Austen novels.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Auditioners
should come prepared with a list of conflicts from November to February
AND proof of vaccination status.

Rehearsals will be several times a week based upon availability.

Mandatory Tech week: Feb 5 - Feb 10
Shows: February 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20
Thurs – Sat 7:30 PM. Sundays 3:00 PM
