Auditions Monday

Auditions for A Dybbuk will be this Monday. Please bring a one to two minute long monologue (it does NOT need to be memorized). Auditions will also have cold reads of the script. If you have any questions or concerns please email me at margotnew17@gmail.com.

Student Dramaturge

For this show we have hired a dramaturge, Avital Shira, to do research on Kabbalah, Judaism, and turn of the century Poland. A dramaturge does research for plays and compiles information for the actors and director. We also need a student dramaturge to help her out. There will be interviews with Avital and me (Margot New) on Friday, March 15, during flex. Please email me, at margotnew17@gmail.com, if you have any interest. The requirements are: 

• Attendance to all rehearsals for first two weeks, and at least three rehearsals a week for the duration of the rehearsal process.
• Help compile a research guide about turn of the century Poland, Judaism, and Kabbalah.
• Ability to research any additional questions, as necessary, that the director has throughout rehearsals.

Avital will act as a mentor to the student dramaturge, teaching them about dramaturgy. Dramaturgy is a very useful skill to have in the theater world and in general. Please apply even if you are planning on auditioning. If you're cast in the show we'll cancel your interview for dramaturge.

Tech Interview Update!

Interviews for the technical crew will be on Monday, March 11, instead of the 12th. At the interviews I will be asking for people who is interested in being my assistant stage manager (ASM). If you have any interest in stage managing a show I suggest you apply for ASM.
