The audition for Quilters is just weeks away. Quilters auditioners will be seen in the order in which they arrive on October 23rd between noon and 4:00pm. When finished singing a hymn or folk song (please bring sheet music) auditioners will be taken thru a few bars of movement and then excused.
If called back on October 24th, auditioners will be expected to show at 9:00 am and plan on staying until 1:00 pm or when excused. A monologue will be given to all those called back. They will have overnight to build/develop a character. No memorization! Just purposeful character-driven reads from a script. More music and dance will be part of callbacks.
Addison adds: "The staff of Quilters is very excited to cast this show. We welcome all actresses from 14 - 40ish to go for this challenge. Ensemble musicals are great fun and stretch one's skills as well as double the fun in a production like this. This show is actual living history, as the script was taken directly from the womens' diaries from the prarie. The show is truthful, impacting and powerful - and so is the comradie and fun! The music is perfect for the setting and fun to learn."
The stage will be different for this show: "Doing the show "in the round" adds to the challenge and learning experience for all of us. We hope to see you there," notes Addison.
