Thank you so much to all of you who auditioned! This was a very difficult round of casting, as we had close to 70 auditionees! I could have cast the shows several ways…It was all a matter of who matched up with whom, incorporating your particular requests, ie, wanting certain roles only, etc. I wish TA had more roles to offer.
If you have been cast in any of the shows below, please send an e-mail to Jamie at thissideofoz@triad.rr.com to ACCEPT or to DECLINE your role(s). Be sure to state which roles in which shows you accept, as well as which roles in which shows you decline, if that is the case. If I haven’t heard from you by 5 PM on Friday, October 30, I will assume you declined the role(s), and I will seek a replacement from the other talented folks who auditioned.
Please check all shows for your name. You might have been given a role in a show that you weren’t expecting.
One final thought: Many of you may have been cast in shows which will perform back-to-back. Be sure to examine this commitment with a calendar and show dates in front of you, and make sure that you are okay with this. This situation means you will be performing one show while rehearsing another, or perhaps even rehearsing two at once!
Please follow any additional directions listed with your particular show(s). Again, thank you to all who auditioned. Our next round of Mega-Auditions will be held in April for our summer/fall shows. Please continue to support Theatre Alliance in our audience, onstage, and behind-the-scenes, so that we may continue to bring shows to the area that no one else will! We can’t exist without you.
