live, staged radio the way they did it back in the 1930's and 40's.
We even use live sound effects (foley), often created with unexpected
everyday objects.
Auditions for our third annual Halloween Staged Radio
Thrillogy, "Tomes of Terror III," are only 2 weeks away!
This is a great opportunity for theatre folks to branch out into an
exciting new medium. Come and see how your acting changes when
there's no blocking involved! This is also a great chance for people
that have never acted before to get their feet wet without all the
commitment of blocking and memorization. Actors are not required to
fully memorize their lines, rehearsals will be approximately once a
week on a fairly flexible schedule, there is minimal costuming and a
4 performance run, October 29th, 30th, 31st and November 1st.
What we need from you is your voice! We've got opportunities for
actors to stretch their vocal chords! We're looking for:
-A variety of accents, including British and French
-A variety of age and vocal ranges
-One male role and one female role will require singing
In addition, one play may have an opportunity to cast an individual
that plays a period appropriate melodic instrument such as the
guitar, flute, recorder or harp (just to name a few possibilities).
Here are the plays that we will be producing for this year's show:
"The Baby Snooks Show" (comedy)
The 1946 Halloween episode of the classic Golden Age comedy that
originally starred Fanny Brice. Written by Philip Rapp.
"The Ballad of Reynardine" (horror)
Original adaptation by our own Renée Johnson and original story
written by Athan Chilton. Based on an old English folk ballad about a
mysterious young man and his fey kin.
"Nightfall: The Tell-Tale Heart" (supernatural horror/suspense)
One of Edgar Allen Poe's most chilling narratives, adapted for CBC
Radio's Nightfall horror anthology series by Len Peterson in 1980.
Auditions will be held at the Unity Church of Somerville, 6 Williams
Street, in Somerville. You may audition on either Tuesday, September
2nd or Wednesday, September 3rd, both at 7pm. Callbacks, if needed,
will take place on Thursday, September 4th at 7PM
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the scripts. No prepared
monologues are necessary. If you wish to audition for a role that
will include singing, please prepare a sample acapella piece of one
minute or less.
