*TO AUDITION:*
1) Reply to this e-mail with your name and desired audition day - Saturday
or Monday. Also, include a digital headshot and resume, if you have them,
and your Equity status.

2) *Only if you haven't sent them*, bring a copy of your headshot and
resume with you, along with a calendar of your conflicts, to the audition.

3) Please prepare a single contemporary monologue of your choice, of no
longer than 2-3 minutes, that best showcases your abilities. If you're more
comfortable with a prepping something from one of the scripts, let me know
that in your e-mail and I'll send you something from one of the scripts to
prepare.


*A WORD ABOUT LOCATION: *SEAT OF THE PANTS is an itinerant company (hence
the name). We've made an intentional decision *not* to have a permanent
space, so that our fiscal, time, and energy resources can be focused on
producing theatre, not maintaining a building. As such, we've spent the
past 6 years developing relationships with folks who can offer us both
rehearsal and performance space from Canton to Cleveland - and everywhere
in between - in exchange for rental fees, cross-promotion, shared
programming, etc. This is also allowing us to develop an audience across
Northeast Ohio that - so far - has been willing to travel within an hour's
radius to see our productions.

MOLLY SWEENEY will be produced at Weathervane Playhouse in Akron. THE END
OF THE  TOUR and SMOKEFALL both have multiple possible production homes,
but will be confirmed definitively when the shows are cast to best leverage
a "home court advantage."

As potential actors, here's what you can expect. Rehearsals will be
scheduled in a location central to everyone involved, and that information
will be conveyed to you as part of a casting offer, so you know exactly
what you're getting into before committing. Rehearsal location will almost
certainly be different than final performance location - and you'll have
*that* info as part of the offer as well. For some productions we may have
a primary location (i.e. first two weekends in Cleveland) and a secondary
location (third weekend in Canton); this information will also be part of
your offer. At no point will you be expected to drive an hour for more than
a weekend of performances - unless you opt into that.
