Audition!
Every show at Live Arts is cast through open auditions – and we want you to get in here!
Here are some reasons you should get in here and audition for Live Arts:
- You are already a star, and you want to share your incredible talents with Live Arts
- Your friends and family tell you to let your hidden talents out and show the world what you can do
- You’re terrified of making a fool of yourself, but you made a resolution to audition for a play before your next birthday
- Every time you see a show you imagine how fun it would be to be up there performing
- You think you can… you think you can… you think you can. We know you can!
Auditions almost always consist of readings from the script, and don’t require you to sign up or prepare a piece beforehand. Musicals, however, may require a prepared song or a scheduled sign-up time, so if you’re interested in auditioning for a musical, please contact us for more information. Please contact Scott Dunn at scottdunn@livearts.org if you would like to borrow a perusal copy of a script.
UPCOMING AUDITIONS
MELANIN and Live Arts announce auditions for the staged reading of OAK & IVY by Paul Laurence Dunbar, directed by Jared Ivory
Auditions will be held
Sunday, March 11 & Monday, March 12
in Rehearsal A at Live Arts, 7pm
Oak & Ivy is a dramatization of the first book of poetry published by Paul Laurence Dunbar in 1892. There are 12 roles available, and we are excited for teens ages 14 and older as well as adults of all ages to be a part of this emotional and at times unexpectedly funny production.
Auditions will consist of a prepared monologue (no longer than 2 minutes) and readings from the work.
Paul Laurence Dunbar was one of the first black poets working and creating within a society that could not understand his unique perspective. His work is the perfect choice for the first in MELANIN’s Coloring the Box series. Through this production, we hope to breathe new life into Dunbar’s first published work with inspiration from his own life experiences.
