Detailed Audition Information
Here is some detailed information on the March 10 & 12 auditions and the parts available.
We are happy to see anyone who comes to audition without an appointment, but you will have to wait until after actors with appointments have been seen.
THURSDAY AUDITIONS LOCATION
Thursday auditions take place in the Takoma Park DC Library at 416 Cedar Street NW, in the downstairs meeting room (enter through the main entrance). The library is two blocks from the Takoma Metro station on the Red Line. Limited street parking is available.
SATURDAY AUDITIONS LOCATION
Saturday auditions take place in the Cleveland Park DC Library at 3310 Connecticut Avenue NW, in the upstairs meeting room (enter through the main entrance, bear right and head back to the stairs). The library is one block from the Cleveland Park Metro station on the Red Line. Limited street parking is available.
INFORMATION ON THE SHOW
There will be six plays, with a total of eleven major roles between them. The role breakdown is as follows:
ANY GENDER
2 roles, 20s-40s
2 roles, 30s-50s
MALE
2 roles, late teens-30s
1 role, 20s-30s
FEMALE
3 roles, late teens-30s
1 role, 20s-40s
Some of these roles may be doubled in the final casting.
AUDITION
Your audition will consist of a short section of The Magical Marriage Computer which will you read with another auditionee.
You and your audition-partner will switch off reading BOTH Sam and Lindsey.
Sam and Lindsey are the two 20s-40s gender-neutral roles. If you are out of that age range, don't worry; we are just looking to see your abilities at this point. We will get specific to your age range at callbacks.
The lines spoken by the Computer will be read by us at auditions. (The Computer is not considered a major role.)
We are providing the script to those who scheduled a slot to give you a chance to be a little more prepared and show us your best.
Two last pieces of advice:
1) We are looking for acting which stays grounded despite the fancifulness of the story.
2) We are looking for actors who can make us believe Sam and Lindsey's relationship.
