Extra Notes from Director Leah Curia
You will have your scripts with you as props on stage. You will still need to learn your lines and I expect everyone to be off script or mainly off script by the time rehearsals start in January. As timing is key in performing radio plays, you cannot rely on reading from your script. It should only be used as a prompt if you need it.
When casting, I'll be noting that the roles for Actors 5 & 6 will need to look of similar age range aw the roles for Actors 3 & 4.
American accents will be necessary. If this is something you need help with, that is fine. We will be looking into accent work during rehearsals so do not let this deter you from auditioning.
Rehearsal days will be mostly Sundays (11am-2pm) and Mondays (7pm-9pm) due to my working schedule and these will start the first Sunday of January (5th). Some weeks may not have a Sunday rehearsal but I will factor in a replacement day in the evenings, in the middle of the week, for such an occurrence. You will know of this in advance as I will make sure to book in the morning shift with my work so I can have the evening off. Please make me aware of any days during the week you cannot do at the auditions but your availability on a Sunday (11am-2pm) and a Monday (7pm-9pm) is a must.
Actor 1 maybe asked to carry out props sound effects if we do not find some one to do this specifically. You will know a definite answer by the start of rehearsals in January. Props/sound effects is a role key to timing, which we will do plenty of work with to master timings.
There are elements of singing, due to radio commercials, featured throughout the performance. This is mainly for the roles Actors 4 & 5. This may appeal to someone from a musical trained. background. Some will be pre-recorded, others may have to be performed on the night. This is something you will have a definite answer to when rehearsals start in January.
