The Dining Room update

Hello Cast/Crew,

Congratulations to all members of the 2016 production of The Dining Room.

Our read-through will begin promptly at 7:15 p.m. on January 5th.
No one may arrive late to the read-through or any rehearsals thereafter.

If a cast member is tardy or is not a responsible and caring actor to the process, they may be asked to leave the production.

We need to be focused and respect the theater, and understand its importance to the actor and community.

Happy New Year!

Lys

Why have Callbacks?

What is a Callback after an Audition?

A Callback means that the casting director and perhaps others involved in casting roles in a project like what they saw in your initial acting audition and are interested in seeing you again for that project.  Obviously, this is a good thing and you must celebrate being called back.

If you do get a callback, you did something the casting director really liked/or you have the “right” look or personality for the role.  The director may also see traits in your performance that might be served well in other roles in regards to the project.

Go in with an open mind-enjoy the experience.

When you don’t get a callback it does not mean that you did not do a good job in your acting.  It may be that you were not right for a particular role.

7:15-9:15 p.m.

Dear Friends,

Please read the list below carefully, and prepare a character analysis and the lines for the parts listed near your names.  If you are not on the "callback" list, that does NOT imply that you didn't perform well at your audition, nor does it indicate that you will not be casted in the  Spring show.

Auditions will begin promptly at 7:15 p.m.  Do not be late.  If you are, that shows us that you are not ready to be part of this theater community.  Before tomorrow evening, everyone MUST sign up to remind.com

Remember to review the dates and times on the rehearsal schedule that will be posted later today.

Thank you!

The Dining Room Audition Information

Dear Friends,

Please take time and read through your scripts this weekend. Our auditions are Thursday evening, December 17th, beginning at 7:15 p.m. I will need to know what scenes you will be reading by Monday.

I encourage you to seek out other actors to work on your scenes. Please prepare two (2) scenes for the auditions. You do NOT have to memorize your parts, but you do have to come prepared with a background of your character (see new page-to your right) that you will be asked to share.

Thank you for supporting the Theater Arts Program. I am looking forward to working you.

"For every show I direct, each student is asked to go through a detailed char­ac­ter analysis process. I’ve spent the past ten years putting together this com­pre­hen­sive packet. In my expe­ri­ence, a detailed char­ac­ter study is impor­tant in both musi­cals and non-musicals. It seems obvi­ous to the­atre edu­ca­tors to delve into char­ac­ter analy­sis for straight plays. I have also found that it can truly change a musi­cal, espe­cially when the ensem­ble takes time to truly develop their char­ac­ters. The ensem­ble is eas­ily for­got­ten after they have been taught their songs and dances, but they cre­ate the world of the play. The more the ensem­ble under­stands about their char­ac­ters and rela­tion­ships, the more invested they will be in mak­ing them come to life. Feel free to use all or parts of this for your future pro­duc­tions. I hope you find it useful."
