CALLBACKS DAY 1
CONGRATS ON CALLBACKS! Thanks to all for your fabulous auditions! Please read the character descriptions/guidance we have given for each show!
If you are not called back YOU STILL COULD BE CAST in WWW. There will also be callbacks for the radio studio - they posted at the same time as the WWW cast list. Kate, Maddy and Lulu, the Studio Directors, will view your WWW auditions and prepare callbacks from that.
Some people have had difficulty submitting their auditions. We will add people to the list as we get auditions throughout the day today.
CALLBACKS WILL BE ON MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY- SCHEDULE TO BE POSTED TOMORROW. SINGING CALLBACKS WILL BE ON MONDAY.
While you do not need to be memorized for callbacks- you should be VERY WELL PREPARED. BECAUSE OF COVID- WE THINK IT IS BEST TO NOT CHANGE COSTUMES FOR DIFFERENT CALLBACKS- wear something that works for everything.
The Sure Thing
Bill and Betty are generally nice, friendly people. Both are smart and well educated.
We are looking for a shift when the bell rings - there is a bit of a restart of the scene. We need to see that physically, mentally, etc. It can be subtle. These should be naturalistic performances for the most part.

The Philadelphia
Al is a big, broad “guy” - sort of an alpha male. But a nice, amiable guy - someone you would want to hang out with and have fun with but definitely a stereotypical “guy”. He could have a New York accent if you want (but also be prepared to do it without that). He’s relatively laid back.
Mark comes in with high energy - he’s freaking out about what has been happening to him and is looking for guidance. No NY accent.
The Waitress has been around the block and then some. She is very deadpan, low affect, she just wants your order. No funny business. She may also have a NY accent.

Degas, C’est Moi
Those auditioning for Ed - really read the script. We want high energy and enthusiasm - he FASCINATED seeing the world through Degas’ eyes and feels like a true passionate artist. Be aware of when you are talking to the audience and when you are talking to the other characters.
The other characters do not match Ed’s delusion. They should seem very naturalistic, but also somewhat jaded New Yorkers.
Doris should be frazzled and is just not putting up with Ed’s antics - she’s almost unaware of him - she’s not annoyed, just in her own (normal) world going about her day.

Soap Opera
Repairman is just a truly regular guy… who just happens to be in love with his washing machine.
The Washing Machine is the perfect woman - in the Repairman’s eyes. She’s clean, sparkling, always says the right thing.
Mother is a stereotype of a 1950’s housewife.
Madman is a…. Madman. Go for it! But still base it in reality.

Finding the Words
This is set in the present day, very realistic. You all can relate to a backstage drama.
Morty is the only character that’s a bit of a stereotype/over the top. We need to see age from him - over the top, older, NY comedian, complete with rim shots for his jokes.
Desiree is a bit of a diva, which we’re sure you’ll get from the script - go for it, but also make her real!
