[Capdist-auditions] EMERGENCY AUDITION NOTICE - Badly in Need of One Male Actor

[Steve Grogan]

*EMERGENCY CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT *


Due to unforeseen circumstances, the production of my play THERE IS HOPE is
now one male cast member short. This is VERY bad news because our
performance is only about five weeks away, so I hope someone will see the
word “EMERGENCY” and be willing to help us out. Doing so may very well earn
you good karma for the rest of your life!


One more thing before I get into the details - don't sweat the small window
of time between now and the show. I will work with you one-on-one
EXTENSIVELY, for as long as I need, to get you caught up to speed with the
rest of the cast.

**********

This play is about all the possibilities that tomorrow can hold, about
learning from your mistakes and becoming a better person. It’s about
healing old wounds and making peace with those you may have hurt…and I need
YOU to help me bring it to life!

SUMMARY

Kevin Seward has been living like a hermit since his last girlfriend Lucy
Grossman broke up with him. His friend Erwin Gleason invites Kevin to a
party he is throwing. After he has been there for a while, Erwin tells him
Lucy has arrived, so Kevin decides to leave. From this point on, the play
tells two stories: (1) He encounters other partygoers in the present, and
(2) we see flashbacks of his time with Lucy. By the time he makes it to the
first floor, the tension is so thick that the only way to cut it would be
if he ran into her and faced his fear, but what could come of such an
encounter?

CAST MEMBER NEEDED

Since people want to see an age range in these posts, I will say
mid-twenties to late-fifties. HOWEVER - if you are OLDER than that and are
interested in auditioning, then PLEASE do so. The age range should not
deter you.

ROLES

This cast member would be taking on SIX supporting roles. I’m not going to
make this one super-long ad by describing them here; instead, descriptions
will be given if/when a person shows interest in auditioning. Also, don’t
let the number scare you: each character has just one scene. If you were to
combine all their lines, it wouldn’t be even half of what the lead
characters require.

HOW TO AUDITION

   - I will send you audition material for you to read ahead of time.
   - You can join the rest of the cast and I at our rehearsals (see below),
   - This is NOT ideal, but we could always meet one-on-one via Google Meet
   or in-person. However, I'd much rather you come to rehearsal, so I can see
   your chemistry with the rest of the cast.


WEEKLY REHEARSALS

Mondays at 7:30PM at my place in Troy.

   - If there is inclement weather, we will do remote rehearsals.
