Audition - The Media Blitz

So today was the day I finally got ALL the audition notices out to as many sources as I could. I hit all the local newspapers (Star, Daily News, Reporter, etc.), the local NPR radio stations, the theatre departments of the local colleges, and all the local community theatres. I also did the usual paid submission to backstage.com for good measure, even though I personally have not had anyone audition who did so because of the posting there.

So, if there's anyone I missed, or who you know who can post this, please feel free. Here's the release:

Open auditions for Elite Theatre Company's production of Godspell will be held at ETC's Petit Playhouse in downtown Oxnard on:

- Saturday, April 1, 2006 from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM
- Sunday, April 2, 2006 from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM

The production will feature all new arrangements and stagings, tailored to the intimacy of ETC's Petit Playhouse.

Auditioners are asked to prepare a vocal selection, approximately two minutes or less in length (32 bars), demonstrating their vocal range and technique. Please provide sheet music in your key or a CD with accompaniment only (no vocals).

Auditioners will also be required to perform one or more cold readings from the script, will learn and perform a group movement/choreography number, and are urged to demonstrate any additional skills (juggling, magic, puppetry, etc.).

There is no pay and no fee to participate.
