Last Three Auditions – #6 – #8

OK, so I have been lazy, but it has been the holidays as well. I have been to 3 auditions, none of which I landed a role. Two were slapstick-type-rapid-fire comedies. Those of you who know me would think “Jay should be good at that”. Well I am not good at that. Oh, I can be funny, witty, whatever, but at my own time and pace. Comedy requires a timing that I don’t think I have. At least I was not comfortable at doing slapstick comedies. Now comedies where I deliver straight lines that are humorous, I am comfortable doing.

The third audition was for Deathtrap at Stage Door Players. This was also my third audition for Robert Egizio. I thought the first role I read for I did very well on. The problem with the last statement is that I never have received feedback from the person handling the auditions, be that the director or somebody else. So I think I did well. Even if I did, I might not have been right for the part.

It’s easy to get discouraged, having been to 8 or so auditions, not being picked for any, and the one play I was in was given to me by a friend. Well I am. We will see how the next auditions go. Tonight is Beau Jest.

Audition Notice: Deathtrap

STAGE DOOR PLAYERS announces auditions for
“Deathtrap,” by Ira Levin.

“One of the great popular successes of recent Broadway history, this ingeniously constructed play offers a rare and skillful blending of two priceless theatrical ingredients: gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter. Dealing with the devious machinations of a writer of thrillers whose recent offerings have been flops, and who is prepared to go to any lengths to improve his fortunes, DEATHTRAP provides twists and turns and sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment.”

Auditions will be held November 21st and 22nd at the theater from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM. Casting 3 men and 2 women aged 30 -50. Cold readings from the script. No appointment necessary.

Show is directed by Robert Egizio, opens January 28, and runs through the 20th of February. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings, with Sunday Matinee. Stipend paid. For more information call 770-396-1726, or visit our new website at www.stagedoorplayers.net

See you at the Stage Door!
