SYNOPSIS: For their anniversary, a middle aged couple is going to the premiere of a new play. Ruth Tisdale is thrilled to be a part of the theatre scene, while husband Jack would rather just stay home and watch game 7 of the World Series. Ruth is so caught up with excitement that she doesn't seem to realize that the play is just plain awful, and the actors are even worse. Great fun for fans of live theatre!
REQUIREMENTS: please prepare a 1-2 minute monologue that shows your dvnamic and emotional ranqe. You may also be asked to do a cold-read from the script, so it is best to familiarize yourself with the show. Please bring a copy of your resume and headshot to the audition. Callbacks will consist of scenes from the show, performed in groups. Sides will be provided ahead of time to those called back, but do not need to be memorized. We ask that you be available for the full three hours so we have a chance to experiment with different pairings/groupings of actors.
Script: lf you would like to read the play before auditioning, the script is on reserve at the Performing Arts Desk, 5th floor, Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge Street, and at the Community Desk of the Toronto Public Library, Cedarbrae Branch, at 545 Markham Road in Scarborough.
BOOK AN AUDITION: For information, or to book an audition time, email Alison Overington at alison@singulardesign.ca. lf you must cancel on your audition night, please call the STG unit at 416-439-5349.
