With that said, anyone should audition who wishes to, even if just for the audition experience)

Notes for Auditionees:

When we know the exact rehearsal schedule, you will find it below. We will rehearse all of June and July. Performances will be August 7th-16th. Tech week will be August 2nd-6th. Rehearsals will be Sundays 2-6, Mondays 5-8, and either Tuesday or Wednesday evenings as well, exact time tbd. 

Some conflicts with rehearsals, but NOT tech week and performances, are often workable as long as the actor is able to commit to disciplined at-home review. If there are numerous conflicts, the actor may be set an earlier off-book date than fellow cast members. 

Auditions: If you're not able to attend in-person auditions, a video audition may be submitted. Please email meadowskyproductions@gmail.com to arrange an alternative audition time/method. 

Actors who are cast will be paid a stipend that equals a small percentage of ticket sales.
