Audition Announcement 2019 Campolindo Music Department Production Of Audition Announcement 2019 Campolindo Music Department Production of The sinking of the Titanic in the early hours of April 15, 1912, remains the quintessential disaster of the twentieth century. A total of 1,517 souls—men, women and children—lost their lives (only 711 survived). The fact that the finest, largest, strongest ship in the world—called, in fact, the “unsinkable” ship—should have been lost during its maiden voyage is so incredible that, had it not actually happened, no author would have dared to contrive it. But the catastrophe had social ramifications that went far beyond that night’s events. For the first time since the beginning of the industrial revolution early in the 19th Century, bigger, faster and stronger did not prove automatically to be better. Suddenly the very essence of “progress” had to be questioned; might the advancement of technology not always be progress? Nor was this the only question arising from the disaster. The accommodations of the ship, divided into 1st, 2nd and 3rd Classes, mirrored almost exactly the class structure (upper, middle and lower) of the English-speaking world. But when the wide discrepancy between the number of survivors from each of the ship’s classes was revealed—all but two of the women in 1st Class were saved while 155 women and children from 2nd and 3rd (mostly 3rd) drowned—there was a new, long-overdue scrutiny of the prevailing social system and its values. It is not an exaggeration to state that the 19th Century, with its social stricture, its extravagant codes of honor and sacrifice, and its unswerving belief that God favored the rich, ended that night. The musical play TITANIC examines the causes, the conditions and the characters involved in this ever- fascinating drama. This is the factual story of that ship—of her officers, crew and passengers, to be sure—but she will not, as has happened so many times before, serve as merely the background against which fictional, melodramatic narratives are recounted. The central character of our TITANIC is the Titanic herself. — Peter Stone (TITANIC the Musical – author of story and book) TITANIC the Musical (NOT the Movie!) Although it debuted on Broadway in the same year (1997) as the release of the movie that EVERYONE saw (Titanic, starring Leo and Kate), this is not the story of fictional characters, Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater. Rather, TITANIC the Musical tells the tale largely through the thoughts and actions of real people who were aboard the maiden voyage. Like other well-known stories (Romeo and Juliet comes to mind), it’s no spoiler to state that the ship goes down in the end. That we all know what happens, more or less, adds to the tension and at each retelling we find ourselves hoping that some of the fateful decisions that lead to the foregone conclusion will somehow, this time, turn out differently. But who survives, and who perishes? Oh – and there’s no Celine Dione music in this one, either. TITANIC the Musical won 5 Tony awards in 1997 – Best Musical, Best Book, Best Score, Best Scenic Design, Best Orchestrations. Among other awards is a Grammy for Best Musical Album. Maury Yeston, the composer is known for the musicals Grand Hotel, Nine and Phantom (not to be confused with the Andrew Lloyd Webber version produced at Campolindo in 2019.) Sadly, the Titanic movie somewhat overshadowed the musical’s success on Broadway, which included 804 performances followed by a National Tour. At least two Broadway revivals have been announced (the most recent in 2018) but, partly because of the scope and challenges of the show, neither has yet come to the Great White Way – meanwhile, this will be the second Campolindo production of this epic. CAMPOLINDO CASTING (The bridge – 2010 Campolindo Production) Casting is by audition for ALL ROLES including Ensemble. We may create two casts of Principals and all members of the cast will perform in all shows – with some playing multiple characters. All who successfully complete an audition will be cast in the show. We plan 8 performances at this writing. There will be an opportunity for several young children to be cast as passengers – the casting method for these roles will be determined in October. Auditions are open to all members of the Campolindo Choral Music Program. Auditions will be held by appointment in mid-October. (Times TBA). There will be a Callback Workshop after the first round of auditions to allow those invited to callbacks an opportunity to learn music from the score. Callbacks will be held the following week (specific times TBA). Casting will be posted very soon thereafter. (To the Lifeboats – Campolindo 2010 production) All cast members are required to audition. (Note: separate announcement for young childrens’ roles later in the fall). Auditioning does not obligate you to be in the cast if unanticipated conflicts occur, but you can’t be in the cast if you don’t audition. Prepare 16 - 32 bars of a Broadway Musical solo (please don’t sing us the whole song… wonderful as it may be.) For anyone seriously interested in a “named role” in the show, we suggest listening to the soundtrack before picking an audition song and selecting something that is of a similar genre to one of the songs your desired character(s) sing in the show. It is strongly suggested that you begin your search for an audition song NOW. (PLEASE SEE THE APPENDIX to this announcement FOR MORE DETAILS ON SELECTING AN AUDITION PIECE.) An accompanist will be provided. For more information about the Spring Musical, including audition tips, please review the “Spring Musical Handbook” available on the Campo Choir website: Email the Director at [email protected] for suggestions. There is a list of past audition songs available at the Campo Choir website as well. For those new to auditioning and unfamiliar with the Musical Theatre catalog, Mr. Roberts will teach one song for boys and one song for girls in a group setting early in the school year. It is acceptable for freshman auditioners to use one of these “group taught” songs for the audition, although you may pick one of your own if you prefer. The main thing is to pick something you are comfortable singing (whether perfect for the role or not.) PARTICIPATION DONATION The Campolindo Musical Theatre program is a voluntary, after school program that is supported in part by MEF, by ticket sales and by an additional participation donation from each cast member that pays for costumes, sets, props, a professional staff and commemorative T-shirt. The program receives no Acalanes School District funding. After casting, we will ask that you pay the participation fee ($150 at this writing) on-line before winter break. Your help in defraying some of those costs early in the process is appreciated. Details will be announced. Scholarships are available upon confidential request to Mr. Roberts for anyone for whom these amounts constitute a financial hardship. REHEARSALS AND PERFORMANCES The regular rehearsal schedule begins in earnest January 6th. Rehearsals are typically scheduled from 6 pm to 9 pm Monday through Friday, with several Saturday mid-day rehearsals and some Sunday choreography rehearsals as well. Cast members will only be called for scenes in which they appear and so will not necessarily rehearse every night and not always for the entire time period. We do not rehearse on long weekends (Presidents’ Day) and we take a hiatus when other Choral performances are scheduled. Rehearsals will not overlap with finals week in 2019-20. Please note that the performance schedule has been moved up one week earlier in the month. The following are “no conflict rehearsals & performances” and you are expected to be available for them. Please arrange to be available on these dates. There will be 2 technical rehearsals, 2 dress rehearsals and 8 public performances of Titanic (all split by cast). The venue for most rehearsals and all performances is CPAC. Performance/rehearsal schedule is subject to change based on audition results. Photo Shoot: Saturday 2/20 9 am Technical Rehearsals: Saturday 2/29 10-6 & Sunday 3/1 1-6:30 Dress Rehearsals (evening) Tuesday 3/3 & Wednesday 3/4 (one for each cast) Matinee Performances: Saturday 3/8, Sunday 3/9, Saturday 3/15, Sunday 3/16 Evening Performances: Friday 3/7, Saturday 3/8, Friday 3/14, Saturday 3/15 CHARACTER BREAKDOWN. YOU DO NOT NEED TO AUDITION FOR A SPECIFIC ROLE. IF YOU HAVE PREFERENCES, STATE THEM AT THE TIME OF YOUR AUDITION, BUT “NO PREFERENCE” IS FINE. As (nearly) everyone will be portraying a real person, it will be possible to undertake research into your character and will be asking each member of the cast to research and write a character biography, which will be provided for the audience (details after casting is complete). It is our intention to give everyone, from Principals through the Ensemble, at least one real person to portray from the ship’s log. There are more than 25 separate solos in the show for singers. There are 56 named roles in the script (some may be doubled by the same actor) and every member of the Ensemble will play at least one “real” person from the ship, including passengers and crew. When a numeric age is listed, it denotes the age of the real person while he or she was on the Titanic. A nationality or region is noted for every character who speaks. We will help actors develop the proper accents, which lends the richness and detail that this show requires.

  • Fire Down Below
    Fire Down Below It was known that a small fire was smoldering in one of Titanic’s coal bunkers at the time she departed Southampton on April 10.i It was caused by spontaneous combustion. According to leading firemen Frederick Barrett and Charles Hendrickson, work to dig out the coal to get to the fire did not start until the first watch began after the ship left Southampton.ii It was not until sometime on Saturday, April 13, the day before the accident, when the fire was finally put out.iii According to Barrett, in addition to digging all the coal out, they also played a hose on it.iv The most effective way to fight a bunker fire is to dig out as much coal as possible to get to where the fire is. The application of water would be to prevent it from spreading further and to extinguish the fire once it could be reached. Even today, “water alone is the most common extinguishing agent for a silo or bunker fire” in coal-fired electric generating power stations.v However, water would never be used to wet down coal in a non-burning bunker because wet coal is much more prone to oxidize quickly, generate heat in the process, and eventually ignite spontaneously. Spontaneous combustion fires in coal bunkers were not unusual occurrences on board steamships of that day. In fact, according to Rule No. 248 of the IMM Company’s “Ship Rules and Uniform Regulations” that was in effect at the time: 248. Examination of Coal Bunkers.

  • The Titanic Disaster
    This issue sponsored by http://www.aiche.org/CCPS/Publications/Beacon/index.aspx www.aiche.org/ccps Messages for Manufacturing Personnel www.iomosaic.com Emergency Preparation – The Titanic Disaster July 2012 April 15, 2012 marked the 100th anniversary of the loss of the ocean liner Titanic in the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately 2½ hours after hitting an iceberg. Over 1,500 people died in the most famous maritime disaster in history. Thousands of pages have been written about the loss of the Titanic, as well as many documentary and fictional movies produced. Many focus on the construction of the ship and the actions of its captain and crew. Whatever the construction and operating issues, attention to one particular issue could have saved many lives – Emergency Preparation! Some specific failures in emergency preparedness before the sinking of the Titanic included: • Not enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew, perhaps because the builders considered the ship “unsinkable”! • No lifeboat drills had been conducted, and many people did not know where to go or what to do. • Many of the first lifeboats to leave the Titanic were not full and some occupants were reluctant to pull other people from the icy water for fear of capsizing their lifeboat. • The decision to abandon ship was delayed while the captain and crew assessed damage. Had the captain started evacuation earlier, before people began to panic, more lifeboats may have been filled in a more orderly evacuation. What can you do? Î Process plants may conduct many types of emergency drills. Fire, leak or spill response, shelter-in-place, evacuation, and severe weather are some common types.

  • “I Thought It Was a Narrow Shave”
    1 “I Thought it Was a Narrow Shave” A Revised Analysis of the Iceberg Encounter by Samuel Halpern At 10:00pm, ship’s time, Sunday night, April 14th 1912, lookouts Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee took their watch up in the crow’s nest, replacing lookouts George Symons and Archie Jewell. Before Symons and Jewell left the nest, they told Fleet and Lee to keep a sharp lookout for ice and growlers in particular, repeating the orders they received from the bridge earlier that night. According to Reginald Lee, it was about “nine or ten minutes” after seven bells were struck that a dark mass was spotted out on the water ahead of the ship.1 When asked how far ahead of the vessel was the iceberg, Lee responded by saying, “It might have been half a mile or more; it might have been less; I could not give you the distance in that peculiar light.” When that dark mass was finally identified, Frederick Fleet was quick to react. He said to Lee, “There is ice ahead,” and immediately reached up and grabbed the lanyard of the lookout bell above his head and struck it three times to signal the officer on the bridge below that an object was sighted ahead. He then left his place on the port side of the nest and went behind Lee on the starboard side of the nest to get to the loud- speaking telephone that connected the crow’s nest with a loud-speaking phone in the wheelhouse. As Fleet would later recall, “I asked them were they there, and they said yes.” They then asked, “What did you see?” to which Fleet replied, “Iceberg right ahead.” They then followed with, “Thank you.” The person that answered the phone in the wheelhouse was Sixth Officer James Moody.

This event ranks as one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history. On the night of April 14, at 11:40 p.m., the ship struck an iceberg and sank in just under three hours with the loss of approximately 1500 lives. There are many descriptions of the disaster by the surviving passengers and crew and the sinking has been the subject of numerous investigations.

The crew consisted of stewards, cooks, cleaners, waiters, etc.; 320 engineers, and 65 engaged in navigation – altogether there were 913 crew members. The Titanic could carry more than three thousand people on board, but for its maiden voyage, 2,229 people were on the ship. First Class: 325 (* These numbers may not Second Class : 285 be exact, as there are conflicting reports of Third Class : 706 numbers of survivors and Crew : 913 passenger numbers) The different classes did not mix on the ship – the First Class passengers were on the top decks; the Second Class on the middle decks; the Third Class further down. White Star realised that they could make a lot of money from Third Class passengers. (Third Class was also known as ‘Steerage’.) Other ships at the time did not provide comfortable living quarters for Third Class passengers, but by providing comfortable accommodation on the Titanic, White Star believed that it would be recommended to friends and family who would join those who had already emigrated. First Class passengers could swim in the pool, work out in the gymnasium, play squash, have a Turkish bath, or tan themselves on sunbeds.
