"Arcadia" General Information

Auditions for 'Arcadia' will take place on June 13th at Curtain Call Place (Piedmont Village, suite 600 2800 Canton Road Marietta, Georgia.)
For auditions, we will require one comedic monologue to be performed in RP (standard British) dialect followed by a cold reading of a side from the script. If called back, you will receive a scene to look over.
Rehearsal will start on June 18th. The show itself will most likely run two weeks, Thursday through Sunday, starting July 19 and running to the 29th at PushPush Theater.
We will be working, for a time, with each cast individually so you will be given every other day off. We will try our hardest to work around peoples schedules.

We ask that, at some point before auditions, you acquire the play and give it a nice reading. If you cannot find it, please contact Mike Jones at ybbproject@yahoo.com and I will send you a copy of the play.
