[Capdist-auditions] CALL FOR PERFORMERS, CAST PARTY Needs You!

[CRFT Inc]

Capital Region Theatre Artists,

The principle goal of the *Cast Party for CRFT *is to raise funds for the
first annual *CAPITAL REGION FESTIVAL OF THEATRE*, which has been announced
for June 2025. We urge you to click here
<https://playhousestagecompany.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/events/a0SUO000001xqMz2AI>
to
buy tickets, and hope you’ll encourage others to do the same!

However, beyond the goal of raising funds for next year’s inaugural
festival, The Cast Party event is also an opportunity to celebrate in the
company of fellow local theatre makers, and to offer a taste of the depth
and breadth of theatrical offerings in New York’s Capital Region. While a
video presentation will offer a recorded taste of our various professional,
community, and scholastic theatre offerings, a selection of live
performances will also be part of the evening's program. Our team at
Playhouse Stage Company is curating the performance selections and order,
to ensure a high-quality, smoothly flowing, engaging program for the
evening. To be sure, with so many companies and artists represented in our
region, it is obviously not possible for each and every group or individual
to perform, or we’d be at the theatre for hours upon hours! Next year’s
festival will offer a much wider weekend of opportunities for all of us to
showcase our work. The Cast Party performances are simply meant to be a
taste of our region’s offerings, and we aim to make it as representative as
possible of the broad range of theatrical experiences available locally.

Attached, you will find a submission form (
https://www.playhousestage.org/crft) through which you can suggest or
submit a performance idea for The Cast Party. *If you or your group wish to
perform, please fill out and submit the form attached no later than Friday,
September 27.* We will do our best to create a performance lineup with as
many, and as diverse, a lineup of performances as possible, while, again,
being mindful of not creating an incredibly long or repetitive event. We
will contact all those who submit a performance by October 4 to confirm
plans for the evening. *Note: if you wish to perform at the Cast Party, you
must be available for a rehearsal at Cohoes Music Hall on Wednesday,
October 23 from 6:30PM to 9:30PM. *Also note that performances should
require only simple lighting, sound, or projection elements. Minimal stage
furniture will be made available to support performances as needed, and a
piano accompanist will be available.

If you have any questions about the form below, or about the event, please
do not hesitate to email me at owen at playhousestage.org
<owen at playhousestage.org?subject=Question%20re%3A%20Cast%20Party%20for%20CRFT>,
and I’ll do my best to answer your question as quickly as possible.

Thank you for supporting the Capital Region Festival of Theatre!

See you soon,

Owen Smith
