The Peripatetic Players
various roles
*Audition Announcement* *More Information in Comments* The Peripatetic Players are seeking 1-2 additional performers to join us for our summer performance & tour, A Lord of a Ring in a Suitcase: The Two-Part Trilogy (The Extend-ish Edition), an original adaptation of JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. This is in part a remount of our 2019 production (Part 1), and an original production (Part 2).
We are looking for actors who love working in collaboration with an ensemble and who are comfortable with physical/devised theatre, movement, and music. We are looking to diversify our current ensemble, so we especially encourage femme- and woman-identified performers of color to audition.
When:
Auditions will be held:
· Saturday April 16, 2pm – 5pm
· Tuesday April 19, 6pm-9pm
Please plan to stay the whole time, but let us know in advance if you have scheduling conflicts and we can try to accommodate you.
WHERE:
Auditions will be held at either Shotgun Studios, Berkeley, CA or in East Oakland; location to be confirmed as soon as possible.
HOW MUCH:
Compensation for this production is minimum $400, and may be more, dependent on fundraising and grants.
WHEN:
Rehearsals start with a kick-off rehearsal on Saturday June 11 (10-2:30). Regular rehearsals are scheduled Sundays 10-2:30, and Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 6:30-9pm in East Oakland. Tech week will have a more frequent schedule.
Performances are scheduled for Saturday July 16, 23, 30 @ 11 & 2, Sunday July 17, 24, 31 @ 11 & 2, and Friday July 22, 29 @ 6pm. Call times are usually about 1 hour before performances.
