Turn in forms before auditions on Sunday so Rod can plan accordingly. And if that's not enough - next week rehearsals begin for our next Reader's Theater Production: March 18th & 19th 7:00 PM - Snapshots, written by Cynthia Mercati & directed by Jane Orme Featuring: Erika Halm, Dani Golden, Heidi Andersen, Robin Nelson-Wicks, Anne Andersen, & Lynn Swan. A contemporary comedy, Snapshots draws its humor from three best friends, played in their younger years by Erika, Dani, and Heide and in their more mature years by Robin, Anne, and Lynn. Through a montage of monologues and scenes, these three women obsess and confess as they go from their teens in the 60’s into present day. We have auditions this weekend for Circle Mirror Transformation, an upcoming Reader's Theater Production at The Merc. During our Reader's Theater Productions, we present a script reading without staging, set, or costumes. It's just characters reading parts. The benefits of this style of theater are a much smaller time commitment on the part of the cast, no memorization necessary (scripts are onstage with the actors), and a down-sized budget, while still providing an evening of exciting entertainment. We often select scripts that we are considering for full-scale production at The Merc to gauge audience and cast interest. It is a fabulous way to get new people involved in acting onstage and it is terrific fun for our community to see their friends and loved ones onstage during these shows.
We couldn't produce these shows without willing actors, and it's easy to become part of one of our Reader's Theater Productions. All you have to do is audition (which pretty much means come to the Merc, read a little bit, and talk details with the director - it's not scary - I PROMISE). We are holding auditions this weekend. Meet with our Artistic Director, Ki Gottberg, in the Merc's office on Saturday, February 21st from 3:00 - 5:00. At auditions, she will give out the rehearsal schedule. Peformances of Circle Mirror Transformation are on Friday and Saturday, March 27th and 28th.
