Auditions for West Side Story
Posted by Board Member on Wednesday September 9 2009
Hi everybody!
Thank you all so much for coming out to auditions today, we had a great time working with all of you and hope to see you involved with Players in the future.
Unfortunately, this afternoon we were not able to see every person who auditioned act, sing, and dance before we all had to go home. As a result, and in order to be able to judge your auditions the most fairly, we are continuing auditions before callbacks tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon.
We need everyone to return for the last round of auditions tomorrow afternoon from 2:40-4:00. Everyone will have the chance to finish their auditions. If you left early today (Wednesday), we can easily work you back into auditions so you can cover any area you missed.
After auditions are complete, the Production Design staff will meet and produce a callback list. Callbacks will be announced in time for people who are not called back to take the 4:30 bus home.
Please remember both your group and personal numbers, this will make the process much easier for all of us.
Again, come dressed in comfortable clothing that you can move around in.
Be prepared to stay for callbacks until 7:30. Bringing water and some sort of snack is probably a good idea.
If you were a Dance only auditioner, you do not have to return for tomorrow’s (Thursday’s) auditions. However, you should check the Players website for information about dance callbacks, which will be taking place this Friday.
If you did not have an audition form, and we promised we would get you one, please email our director Zoe Benditt at zoe.bend.itt@gmail.com, and she will email you with one attached.
Thanks again everyone, and see you tomorrow!

BYE BYE BIRDIE AUDITIONS
Posted by Board Member on Wednesday September 14 2005
Auditions for Bye Bye Birdie will take place on Tuesday, September 20; call-backs will be Wednesday, September 21. Actors, singers, and dancers are needed; you do not need to be able to do all three. Things to remember for the Tuesday audition:
-Fill out an audition form, which can be found on the Players board, to be handed in on the day of auditions.
-Sign up on the audition list, also on the Players board.
-Come prepared with a one minute monologue. This can be a monologue of your choice, or you can use one available on the Players board.
-Vocal audition pieces can also be found on the Players board.
-Wear comfortable clothing for the dance audition.
-Bring a snack, because you might have to stay until 7:00.
Auditions will begin immediately after school. Meet in the auditorium lobby.
If you get a call-back, be prepared to stay until 7:00 on Wendesday.
