UPDATE AS OF SUNDAY, JANUARY 25: Due to inclement weather, auditions for Monday, January 26 and Tuesday, January 27 are postponed. Auditions will now be held on Wednesday, January 28, and Thursday, January 29 (both at 7 PM) at the Theatre Denton Annex at Golden Triangle Mall. Please email the director, Melanie Welch, at melaniebarth22@gmail.com if you have any questions. Thank you! From the book by Harper Lee Dramatized by Christopher Sergel (Apr. 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19) Directed by Melanie Welch This powerful story centers around a small town in 1935 Alabama where a young black man is accused of assaulting a white woman and is defended in court by Atticus Finch, a local lawyer. It is told through the eyes of Atticus’ young daughter, Scout, and explores prejudice, compassion, and courage. Auditions on Monday, January 26 and Tuesday, January 27 at 7 PM Callbacks (if needed) on Wednesday, January 28 at 7 PM Auditions will be open (no appointment needed), and you may attend either Monday or Tuesday evening. Plan to arrive around 15 minutes early to park and get checked in. When you arrive, members of the production team will be there to assist you and to provide you with an audition form to fill out. You are welcome to bring a resume and/or headshot to attach to your audition form, but it is not necessary. Once you have filled out your form and returned it to the production team, you will be assigned a number and have your photo taken with your number tag visible prior to being sent into the auditorium to find a seat and proceed with auditions. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Specific audition sides will be available for perusal on the Theatre Denton website by no later than Monday, January 12. Full copies of the script are currently available to be checked out from the Theatre Denton business office and are due back no later than Friday, January 23. If callbacks are held, auditioners may be contacted by a member of the production team and asked to return on the evening of January 28. Please note that not getting called back does not mean that you are not cast (and vice versa); callbacks are simply a helpful opportunity for the director to expand on anything they feel they missed from the initial auditions. If you have any questions or would like to inquire about submitting a video audition as an alternative, please email the director at melaniebarth22@gmail.com. Rehearsal schedule details are pending, but generally will begin on Monday, February 2 and run Monday – Thursday, 7 PM – 10 PM (children will typically be released by 9 PM until a week or two prior to performances). Rehearsals will take place at the Theatre Denton Annex at the Golden Triangle Mall until we move into the Campus Theatre on March 23. After casting has been confirmed and actors’ conflicts have been factored in, cast members will be provided with a more comprehensive rehearsal schedule.
