[Title of Show] Information and Audition Guidelines [title of show] Information and Audition Guidelines IMPORTANT NOTE: We are producing this show during the worldwide COVID pandemic. Safety and the health and well-being of all involved is our primary concern. We will never put anyone “at risk” at any time, for any reason. If, as a member of this company, you ever feel unsafe, please speak up immediately. Our goal is to produce this show COVID-free, with everyone remaining healthy through the entire process, mid-February through April 18. If the pandemic worsens and the plan outlined below is not feasible, we will change our plans immediately in accordance with university and Connecticut state regulations. About the Show [title of show] is the ultimate meta-musical; it is a musical play about 4 people writing a musical play about writing a musical play. The play is, therefore, largely autobiographical (a well-chosen and edited autobiography!) because the four characters telling the story—Jeff, Hunter, Heidi, and Susan—are the four real-life people who created [title of show]. Plot The play—and the real story—begins with Hunter forwarding his best friend Jeff an e-mail about a new musical theatre festival soliciting scripts. They have 3 weeks to write and submit a new piece…and they haven’t started. They engage their friends Heidi and Susan to help them out. When they have to fill in the blank for the title of the show, the space already says “[title of show]” so they decide to leave it as is. The show gets accepted at the Festival (the first year of the real New York Musical Theatre Festival— 2004) and then it moves on from there—through workshop productions to a successful run off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre to—finally— Broadway in 2008 at the Lyceum Theatre. In order to keep the momentum going towards a Broadway production after the show closed at the Vineyard, Hunter and Jeff created a podcast called the [title of show] show (still on YouTube, check it out) which really did attract financial backers to bring it to Broadway. The script that we are performing includes the whole story; they continued to rewrite the show as things developed and they finally made it to the Great Bright Way, Broadway. Characters The four characters are the four creators, who also were the four original actors who performed the show in all its New York City productions. You can Google the show and see them in action; there are a lot of YouTube clips. We’re providing some additional thoughts about the characters shared by Director, Musical Director, and Movement Director/Choreographer. All four are the “leads” and equally important roles; they all sing a lot and carry the whole show together. We’re looking for strong singers who can readily match pitches and sustain their voices through a 100-minute show. Jeff—Composer/Lyricist. Exudes a softness (personality? physicality?); seriousness of purpose—really committed to this project; smart, fun, and funny; principled; exudes a quiet confidence; a bit naive (gosh, gee whillikers); down-to-earth. Vocal Range: in the bari-zone with occasional high notes Hunter—Book Writer. REALLY ambitious; quick wit with perhaps movement/physicality to match; Driven (capital D); ABH (All Business Hunter); Horny! (and that's part of his ambition and drive); vulnerable and a little insecure, which he masks with his wit—in this way, he is a soul mate to his friend, Susan. Vocal Range: in the bari-zone with occasional higher notes Susan—An actor/singer friend of Hunter’s. Funny, with a quick wit to match Hunter's; lands zingers; Smart; acerbic but vulnerable (the acerbic zingers are there to mask the vulnerability); hangs on to her day job, bitching but taking it seriously; "downtown, funky, sassy" per Heidi but Susan is the only one in the group who seems to have money and some stability; deep down a little girl from Ohio who is a bit insecure in the “Big City.” Vocal Range: mezzo/belt, tending lower Heidi—An actor/singer friend of Jeff’s. Ms. Broadway talent---big, bold, confident; Big Smile; most experienced performer of the group; exudes easy comfort; "uptown, fancy, Broadway" per Susan but I don't think Heidi is "fancy"--she isn’t rich but has been supporting herself as an actor without "day jobs" her whole life. Vocal Range: mezzo/belt, tending higher Production FAQ Where will rehearsals take place? We plan to rehearse and perform the show in the Wien Black Box Theatre at the Quick Center with the performers “live” and in-person. The show will be livestreamed to audiences via YouTube LIVE—everyone will come together in the Black Box to broadcast each performance “live,” just as you would for live television. What safety precautions are in place? We are creating COVID-safe acting “pods” for each of the four actors, which will allow them to safely remove their masks. The minute they leave the pod, the mask goes back on and everyone must maintain at least a 6-feet distance from one another at all times. The pod will feature a green screen, video camera, a microphone, its own ventilation system, filtering air moving in and out of the pod, and whatever props/costumes the actor needs. The pod will have large plexiglass windows so the actors can see the OTHER actors as well as the conductor and pianist, who will be in the middle of the floor. The Director and Movement Director will be present and masked and maintain a proper distance at all times. They will each have monitors so they can watch the actors performing on screen. Because we are sharing the same space, the music and sound will be automatically synchronized, thus avoiding the BIG problem with zoom productions where syncing sound exactly is impossible. All production personnel will have COVID tests once a week to ensure everyone’s safety. If you are auditioning, you must be willing to follow our plan—to rehearse and perform “live”—as outlined above, knowing that things must and will change should anyone get sick or the pandemic significantly worsens. Fingers crossed that we shall succeed! What time/How often will we rehearse? Regular rehearsal days and times are as follows: Monday – Thursday: 7:30PM – 10:30PM (possibly 11:00 PM closer to opening) Sunday: Usually a four-hour block from 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM (this time block may be adjusted to suit company needs) IMPORTANT: We will take Easter break from Thursday, April 1st through Monday, April 5th but will have a full 8-hour rehearsal on Tuesday, April 6th. This includes a full dinner break. Time TBD. NOTE: Before your audition, you will be required to fill out a conflict sheet. Here, you will list your evening classes, university obligations (clubs, Mass, etc.), appointments, and other life events (weddings, funerals, etc.). If you are cast, we will honor and work around all conflicts as we schedule rehearsals. At the first rehearsal, you will review your conflicts sheet again to ensure that you’ve listed any and all conflicts. Make sure you carefully check through all syllabi and talk with your family to ensure that you haven’t forgotten anything! With the exception of emergencies, you are required to be at all rehearsals as listed. If anything comes up at any time about a potential conflict, you must speak to the stage manager immediately. If university faculty or others spring “new mandatory requirements for attendance at outside events,” tell them you have an obligation to the show and show them your signed contract (you will receive a copy) and the rehearsal schedule; if that fails, or if the person is difficult, give Dr. LoMonaco the particulars and she’ll negotiate for you. Technical and Dress Rehearsals: Technical rehearsals will take place Saturday, April 10th – Sunday, April 11th. Following that, we will have two dress rehearsals before opening night on Monday, April 11th. and Tuesday, April 12th. NOTE: There will also be a school matinee on Tuesday, April 12th starting in the late morning. All production personnel will arrange with professors to miss class that day between 9 AM and 3 PM. When will we perform? The performance schedule is as follows: Wednesday, April 14: 8:00 PM (Opening night) Thursday, April 15: 8:00 PM Friday, April 16: 8:00 PM Saturday, April 17: 2:00 PM matinee and 8:00 PM performance Sunday, April 18: 2:00 PM matinee* *Strike is immediately following the Sunday afternoon performance. AUDITION FAQs Location: Kelley Theatre Stage, Quick Center for the Arts Auditions: Monday, February 15, beginning at 7:00 PM Everyone wishing to audition MUST sign up in advance! Fill out the audition form at the end of this packet and send it to the stage manager, Kierstin Jones ([email protected]) no later than 5:00 PM on Sunday, February 14th. You will be assigned a time slot. (For everyone’s safety, only one person will audition at a time and will not overlap with anyone else). You will be asked to arrive 15 minutes before your allotted time and encouraged to warm up ALONE for your audition in the Wien Black Box theatre adjacent to the Kelley stage. At your appointed time, Kierstin will bring you into the Kelley Theatre for your audition. Safety Precautions The general audition is designed to make you feel comfortable, safe, and at ease—we want to see and hear you at your best. The audition will last about 20 minutes. To ensure your safety, every person will audition ALONE on the Kelley Stage (which is HUGE) for Dr.

The Festival lineup includes seven new plays in the making – allowing audiences to witness the creative process as it unfolds – and partake in a rich diversity of voices and topics, ranging from the challenges of welcoming home an Iraqi war veteran to Australian racial identity to life and death on the streets of Oakland. With exceptional directors orchestrating a cast of top Bay Area actors who bring their keen artistic sensibilities to each piece and talented dramaturgs helping the writers further shape their work (a dramaturg’s function is similar to that of a book editor), each play has been carefully staffed to provide playwrights and audiences with an amazing experience in new play development. As in years past, the Festival has attracted some of the most exciting up-and-coming directing talent who are eager to tackle the exciting new work brought by the emerging playwrights. Dan Dietz’s Home Below Zero will be directed by Meredith McDonough, who, despite being a relative newcomer to Bay Area theater, has made a significant mark since her arrival in 2009.
