BHS Spring Comedy Auditions: Aristophanes' The Birds...

OK everybody: here's the plan.

1st round auditions for the spring play will be Feb. 13 and 14 (Monday and Tuesday). Pick either day and sign up for a reading and some group work. Your time committment is a single 1/2 hour time frame on one of those two days. I know we're bumping into Valentine's day... but the school and our own calendars are very full, and these are the only consecutive days that were available, so... bring your date/sweetie/honey to auditions!

If needed, we'll have callbacks on Thurs. Feb. 16, possibly Fri. Feb. 17. Plan for a bit longer reading on this day-- if you are asked to be at callbacks, you'll read several times in different groups -- from 3:30 - 5:30 or 6:00 ish. The cast list will be posted either Friday or Monday -- I may post here first, if I make my decision early in the weekend.

Of course, if you've got a major conflict the week of auditions, but you really want to be in the spring play, come talk to me and we'll see what we can work out schedule-wise!

Our first run through (full cast required) will be Monday Feb. 20. (Wa-HOO!). The full rehearsal calendar should be available at auditions.

Details on the show:
I've included some links to other productions of the Birds. You may want to read a summary or check it out. Many of the roles could be cast in either gender, so we have a fair amount of flexibility. Again, I'm looking for an ensemble cast that is willing to work together, have fun, and be creative. Cast size is SMALLER than the fall show, which should aid our productivity efforts.

Calling ALL techies!
Matt has decided to go gonzo for his last show at BHS, and we want to help him in his efforts. Anybody interested in theatre but willing to work in the shadows is welcome to fill out a Tech interest form. Help is needed with publicity, box office, set construction (possibly welding), costume construction and organization, makeup, props construction, rehearsal assistance, research and lighting, to name just a few areas.
