[NEohioPAL] Auditions for NEW PLAY WORKSHOP – Potential Staged Reading in Fall/Winter 2021/2022

[Brandi Eaton]

Have you ever wanted to be part of the workshopping process? Wanted to
originate a character in a brand-new show? Wanted direct access to tell the
playwright *to their face* all of your opinions and have them heard? If so,
this might be the opportunity for you.

Local playwright Brandi Eaton (*Matt’s First Real Thanksgiving*) has
scripted a new full-length dramedy about the interpersonal workings of a
family – and this time you can be part of it!

Auditions will be held in-person as well as virtually.

*For a virtual audition **(for those who are not fully vaccinated yet or
who are unable to attend the in-person audition)* – Please submit a
monologue or a reading from the script (YouTube or Dropbox/Other video
sharing site links preferred) to beaton2922 at gmail.com before July 26th,
2021.

*For an in-person audition **(for those who are fully vaccinated and are
able to attend)* – Please sign up through the Sign-up Genius link -

The auditions will be held on Sunday, July 25th from 2 pm – 5 pm at Twin
Masks Performing Arts Center. The address is 9076 Church St, Twinsburg, OH
44087.

We will be conducting an initial table read on August 15th from 2 pm – 5 pm
to kick-off the workshopping process. Once we have solid dates for a Staged
Reading we will schedule the rehearsals around the availability of the cast
and creative team.
