East Lynne Theatre Company Holds Auditions for 2011 Season, 3/19

By:

East Lynne Theater Company will have two audition days of open calls for Equity actors: the full-day of auditions in NYC is an AEA required call and the four-hour day in Cape May, NJ is a non-required call. On Saturday, March 19 from noon to 4:00 PM, the call will be at the theater's venue, The First Presbyterian Church, 500 Hughes St., Cape May, NJ. Sign-up for this non-required audition begins at 11:30 AM and continues through 3:55 PM. On Friday, April 15, from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, the required call will be at the Actors' Equity Audition Center, 165 West 46th St., 2nd Floor, NYC. Sign-up for this audition begins at 8:30 AM, and continues through 5:25 PM. Lunch break is from 1:00-2:00 PM. At both auditions, non-union actors will be seen as long as no Equity actors are kept waiting.

The company operates under an Equity SPT 3 Contract with rehearsals beginning on Monday two weeks before the opening-performance week, and a Wednesday through Saturday night performance schedule, with one exception, which is noted below. Rehearsals for all shows will be in Cape May. Artistic Director, Gayle Stahlhuth, who is directing all three productions, will be at both auditions. Actors are asked to audition with a brief humorous monologue, or read from "The World of Dorothy Parker." Sides for this production for all four roles will be available at the auditions. Visually-impaired performers may request an advance copy of the sides by e-mailing eastlynneco@aol.com. A reader will be provided for those auditioning with sides.

The Equity Stage Manager is already hired for the season, but "Dulcy" is required to have an Equity ASM. The ASM will be paid an extra $10 a week above the usual ASM's salary for taking on a small role in the production as well as the duties of an ASM.

Seeking actors for the following: "He and She," a seven-character 1920 Broadway comedy/drama by Rachel Crothers running from June 15-July 23 about the dilemma of a career woman who is a wife and mother; "The World of Dorothy Parker" (World Premiere) running from July 27-Sept. 3, adapted by Gayle Stahlhuth for a cast of four, compiled of humorous and touching tales and poems including "A Telephone Call," "Here We Are," and "The Lovely Leave" all by the famous Algonquin Round Table wit; and "Dulcy," the 1921 Broadway comedy by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly about a woman who believes she can solve every problem, running from Sept. 21- Oct. 15, with a cast of eleven. (Note: for "Dulcy" there will be no performance on Wed. Oct. 5, but an added performance on Sun. Oct. 9 at 7:30 PM.)

A complete breakdown of all the roles may be found at The Actors' Equity Association website or through ELTC's at http://eastlynnetheater.org/AuditionNotice.htm. The East Lynne Theater Company is committed to nontraditional casting and equal employment opportunities. Actors wishing to mail pictures and resumes should mail to the office: 121 Fourth Ave., West Cape May, NJ 08204 - and not to the church.
