Bay Village Community Theater will hold auditions for its fall production, "War of the Worlds: The Panic Broadcast" Monday July 16 and Tuesday July 17 7-10 pm at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, 468 Bradley Rd., Bay Village.Director Chris Bizub is looking for a diverse group of 6-8 actors/actresses (ages 18 +) with the ability to play up to 60+ roles. All roles are open and all ethnicities considered. The ability to make varied vocal characterizations is a must. The ability to do accents is a plus. Actors/Actresses with the ability to do vocal impersonations of famous/historical characters will be heavily considered. Auditions will consist of readings from the script. Description: An alien invasion throws humanity into chaos in the classic sci-fi novel The War of the Worlds - but all it took to cause real-life panic in the streets was Orson Welles's 1938 radio adaptation, which listeners took for news. Now, ten years later the WBFR radio ensemble recreates the colorful events surrounding the infamous evening, including the full original broadcast. Complete with vintage commercials and live sound effects, this radio-play-within-a-play is a thrilling homage to the form's golden age and timely reminder of what fear can do to a society. The following is a list of just a few of the characters: FREDDIE Filmore, 40s-50sJAKE LAURENTIS, 20sHARRY HAYWOOD, 30sLANA SHERWOOD, 30sHOWARD KOCHJOHN HOUSEMANORA NICHOLSCARL PHILLIPS, reporterPROFESSOR RICHARD PIERSON, famous astronomerMR.

Auditions for The Remarkable Incident at Carson Corners at Strongsville Community Theatre
by michael strama 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

STRONGSVILLE COMMUNITY THEATRE Is excited to announce auditions for their October production! Reginald Rose's The Remarkable Incident at Carson Corners was a television drama that first aired in 1955; however, it has a compelling relevance to the current "March for Our Lives" movement sparked by the recent violence in Parkland, FL. at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School. In this fable, the students of Carson Corners High School take matters into their own hands when a Freshman dies violently during a school lunch period. They ultimately teach the adults about responsibility and accountability. This production has a large cast with roles for 14 adults and 11 students, comprised of 12 males and 13 females. Adult roles range from corporate and educational professionals to blue-collar workers, one of which speaks in broken English. Age range for students is Freshman through Senior. Carson Corners will be directed by Mark Seven, who also directed Looking and Spoon River Anthology for SCT in recent years. Auditions are scheduled for the following dates: Sundays, July 15 and July 22 from 12:30 - 3 pm Mondays, July 16 and July 23 from 6 - 9 pm They will take place at the Strongsville Senior Center (located in the west end of the Recreation Center), 18100 Royalton Rd, behind the Target store. Performance dates are: October 12 - 14, and 19 - 21, 2018. *SCT auditions are open to everyone, and no roles are pre-cast. All ethnicities are invited. *No appointments will be taken, but please plan to plan to stay for group readings. *Prepared monologues are not required. Script cuttings and character descriptions will be provided. *SCT does not offer union contracts; all performances are volunteer. Reginald Rose's The Remarkable Incident at Carson Corners is produced in arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company.

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. *QUESTIONS?:* Feel free to contact Craig Joseph at craigjose(a)gmail.com.
