OF MICE AND MEN **REVISED DATE** - Sarasota Opera Non Equity Auditions

Sarasota Opera is Going to the Dogs

Sarasota Opera to hold dog auditions for its

upcoming production of Carlisle Floyd’s Of Mice and Men

Sarasota Opera will hold auditions for a dog that is needed for its upcoming production of the opera Of Mice and Men on Tuesday, February 5, 2013 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The audition will take place at the Sarasota Opera House. Auditionees will gather in the Courtyard located directly next to the building’s main entrance.

For more details and to reserve an audition slot, please contact Rob Holland, Assistant Artistic Administrator, at:
rholland@sarasotaopera.org or
941-366-8450 ext. 537. YOU MUST RESERVE AN AUDITION SLOT IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED!

The dog is described by the characters in the opera as a “good herding dog” so the animal must be believable as such. The dog is also described as old, ragged, and slow. A medium to large size animal is preferred. Additionally, the dog needs to follow “sit” and “place” commands, and be comfortable around loud music. No other special tricks are required.

Rehearsals will begin in mid-February. Performance dates are listed below. This is NOT an everyday obligation. This is a paid position.
