Auditioned for Misery

I auditioned last night for Misery at Rosewater Theatre. Last night was also the callback for those who auditioned last week. But this is a good case of “Do your research”. The audition notices stated that they were looking for 1 male. And not knowing anything more than seeing commercials when the movie came out, I assumed there was only 1 male in the play. Even doing a bare minimal Google search, I found the name of the lead role: PAUL. Still did not see anything about other male actors.

I think the lead male actor is already filled and I put on the downloaded audition form that I would only accept that role. When I arrived there were sides for the other males. I ended up sticking with my choice of only auditioning for the lead for only a single reason: Alliance Theater Summer Repituar.

I was, well still am, torn about accepting another role than the lead. I do want to be seen in as many theaters as possible. My thought was that if I get the lead, I will skip the first two Summer Reps and could still do planned vacation in May. If I don’t do Misery, then I could audition for the Summer Reps, but I would miss vacation in May. I still may not get a role in a Summer Rep, but Pat Hurley, monologue coach and instructor, would like to see me audition. He is directing 2 of the 4 Reps.

Back to the audition: My first read was two different sides with a female partner and they went well. Because I was the only non-callback male there, the director asked me to read with other ladies. So I did. The more I read, the more I get to display my acting ability. Of course I am not going to NOT read with anybody.

In the end though, because I was only looking to do PAUL, I don’t think I will receive a role. That’s OK. Next audition is for the Summer Reps.

Audition Notice: Misery

Rosewater Theatre is holding auditions for Misery. Adapted to stage by Simon Moore, based on a Stephen King novel.

The Plot: This stunning adaptation of the classic thriller is a tour de force for actors. Popular romance novelist Paul Sheldon retires each winter to Colorado to write another work featuring heroine Misery Chastain. Driving while inebriated, he loses control of his car. He regains consciousness in a filthy, dilapidated farmhouse that is cut off from the outside world by a blizzard. Annie, the schizophrenic occupant, is his number one fan and she insists she will nurse him. His legs are crushed and he is virtually a prisoner dependent on her for pain relief. She discovers that his new book is not about Misery and she forces him to destroy it and write another. Thus begins Paul’s descent into a living hell of pain, humiliation and degradation. Like Scheherazade, he must write a new chapter every day to stay alive.

Show runs April 17 – May 16

Auditioning for 2 women aged 30 – 55 and1 man aged 30 – 55. Cold Read from the script. Headshot and Resume preferred but not required. No Appointment Required.

Thursday, February 26, 7 – 9 PM
Saturday, February 28, 2 – 4 PM

Audition Notice: The Woman in Black

The Rosewater Theatre is searching for two good men and will be holding non-equity Open Auditions for the spine tingling thriller The Woman in Black by Stephen Mallatrat (Based on the novel by Susan Hill).

Auditions are scheduled for Saturday, August 9th from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM and Sunday, August 10th from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM and will be directed by Greg Poulos.

Auditioning for 1 man aged 25 to 35 and 1 man aged 45 – 65. Both must be able to do British accents. Also, auditioning for 1 woman who has non-speaking role but whose role is extremely vital.

This show will be performed in the Theatre in the Round.

Auditions to be held at The Rosewater Theatre, 633 Holcomb Bridge Rd, Roswell, GA 30076 (located on the corner of Alpharetta Hwy in the Roswell Village Shopping Center). Check website for show dates and directions to our theatre. No monologue is necessary. Cold read from the script. Please bring resume and headshot if available.

The framework of this spine tingler is unusual: a lawyer hires an actor to tutor him in recounting to family and friends a story that has long troubled him concerning events that transpired when he attended the funeral of an elderly recluse. There he caught sight of the woman in black, the mere mention of whom terrifies the locals, for she is a specter who haunts the neighborhood where her illegitimate child was accidentally killed. Anyone who sees her dies! The lawyer has invited some friends to watch as he and the actor recreate the events of that dark and stormy night. A classic of the genre.

Missing auditions

We are currently in the process of packing up and moving out of our house. Hopefully we can put it on the market very soon. Because of this I am not going to some auditions that I want to attend: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and No Sex Please, We’re British both at the Rosewater Theatre. Life seems to be interfeering with my acting!

In a plantation house, a family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of Big Daddy, as they sentimentally dub him. The mood is somber, despite the festivities, because a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past and desperate, clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds. Maggie, Big Daddy’s daughter-in-law, wants to give him the news that she’s finally become pregnant by Big Daddy’s favorite son, Brick, but Brick won’t cooperate in Maggie’s plans and prefers to stay in a mild alcoholic haze the entire length of his visit. Maggie has her own interests at heart in wanting to become pregnant, of course, but she also wants to make amends to Brick for an error in judgment that nearly cost her marriage. Swarming around Maggie and Brick are their intrusive, conniving relatives, all eager to see Maggie put in her place and Brick tumbled from his position of most-beloved son. By evening’s end, Maggie’s ingenuity, fortitude and passion will set things right, and Brick’s love for his father, never before expressed, will retrieve him from his path of destruction and return him, helplessly, to Maggie’s loving arms.
