announces auditions for the 11th annual NEOMFA Playwrights Festival!
Auditions to be held at the theatre located at
2438 Scranton Rd. Cleveland, Ohio 44113
The Northeast Ohio Master of Fine Arts (NEOMFA) is a unique graduate program that offers a terminal degree in Creative Writing. Each year, convergence-continuum hosts a 2-weekend festival featuring works by students of the program. Each show is given a full production for the playwright to experience their work on stage. Rehearsals will start the second week of January. Those who have participated in the past can testify that the Festival is an intensive, busy and thoroughly fun experience! Shows can range from 10-minute shorts to full length.
This season will feature 5 works: Two full-length plays and three 10 minute/one act plays.
In all, the five plays have at least 24 roles: from younger to older actors, of all genders, races and ethnicities.
Auditions will be Sunday, December 5th at 2pm
Please arrive early to fill out an audition form and with knowledge of your conflicts.
Auditions will consist of readings from the scripts, but the auditions will be general Festival auditions, not for specific plays. All four directors will be present. It is possible that you could be cast in a play that you did not read from during auditions. It is also could be possible that you may be cast in two plays, e.g. a full-length + a 10-minute play, or two 10-minute plays.
*One production may require full frontal male and top female nudity. Comfortability with role will be asked on the audition form.
Performance dates are:
Weekend 1 February 10th – 12th
Weekend 2 February 17th – 19th
