Acclaimed "Reality Theater" Experiment Returns
THE AUDITION
September 7- October 1 at Wings Theatre
Page 10 Productions, Inc. will present a return engagement of their wildly successful experiment in "Reality Theater," THE AUDITION for a limited engagement beginning September 7th at Wings. Created and directed by Betsy Head, this unique theatrical event will feature nearly 200 actors and a dozen entertainment industry professionals.
At each night of THE AUDITION, ten actors (found in local ads and by word-of-mouth) and one lucky person chosen from the audience will perform their prepared monologue for panel of three entertainment industry professionals (directors, producers, and casting directors) and the audience.
After all of the initial auditions are complete, the audience votes for their favorite performers. The six top-ranking actors return for Act II to claim their prize: the highly-coveted callback. The night then culminates in cold readings and performances of specially created scenes.
For the actor, THE AUDITION is a chance to hone their skills and perhaps be discovered. For the audience, THE AUDITION provides an entertaining and insightful glimpse inside the cutthroat world of casting. Come find out: Who will make the cut?
