Just got a call from my audition for Out Town at Lionheart Theatre. Did not get the role I wanted, but the director called anyway. very nice #
OUR TOWN, not Out Town. Out Town is that _other_ play. #
Planning ahead, I want to audition for Sabrina Fair at Kudzu (Jan 6,7) and Driving Miss Daisy at Act1 (Jan6,8). Wit at Onstage Atlanta (???) #
I think I can get back into Pat Hurley’s Advanced Scene at the Alliance in January as well. Will be working monologues with him in any case. #
But if I win the lottery, travel will be first order of business. Somewhere with a hammock and an ocean breeze. #
Yes, Alaska does have an ocean breeze, but I am thinking somewhere more tropical. #
DO’H! Arena Football League suspends the 2009 season. Double DO’H. At least we get our money back for season tickets. #AFL http://is.gd/c0TR. #
So ready to leave work. 23 more minutes to go, then off to a @gwtgladiators game tonight. #

Monday’s Auditions

jcroft — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 19:16:56 +0000

I went to two auditions yesterday: The scheduled audition with Theatre in the Square and an open audition at Lionheart Theatre Company.

For the Theatre in the Square Audition, I arrived 15 minutes early and they were running 45 minutes late from my scheduled time. So I waited an hour before I auditioned. I was called in, did my 1 minute comedic monologue, read the part of FLAGMAN and was dismissed. Callbacks are on Friday. I am not hopeful, but just have been seen at a professional theater is good.

The timing worked out good for the second audition which was at 7 PM. I arrived from Marietta to Norcross by 6:30. Lionheart Theatre was holding open auditions for their production of Our Town by Thornton Wilder. I read mainly for the part of STAGE MANAGER which is the narrator through the entire play. I believe I did well, but I am not hopeful.

Headache. Hope it goes away before I need to leave for an audition. #
This time last year, I was performing as Ralph(Narrator) in A Christmas Story. I should have done that again this year. #
Trying to decide if I want to audition for Our Town at Lionheart Theatre tonight. #

Auditioned for God’s Man in Texas

jcroft — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 07:32:14 +0000

Heidi opened the weekend of May 26th. On that Sunday, I went on vacation immediately after the 2 PM show. St. Augustine, Florida if you want to know. Friday I drove all the way back to Atlanta for this audition Friday night, June 1st. Long drive. I needed to be back anyway for Heidi on Saturday and Sunday.

Audition went well enough, five guys auditioned for 3 roles. I as called today by Tanya Carroll who indicated that, yes, indeed I had too many conflicts. Rehearsals at Lionheart Theatre Company were on Tuesdays and Thursdays only and would start while I am in rehearsals for Breaking Legs. Although the run dates do not overlap, I would miss too many rehearsals. Oh well.

Tanya did invite me back for the next 2 auditions at Lionheart

Essentially a morality play, Quiet in the Land is a finely drawn portrait of an Old-Order Amish community held together and yet set apart by its strict beliefs and traditions. When a non-Amish friend is wounded in the war, Yock must decide if he will reject his heritage, his family, his community, and even the girl he loves, in order to enlist in the army and defend his country. Infused with warmth and wonderful characters, this play explores the great human dilemma of how to understand the meaning and demands of love and faith in a world torn apart by hatred.
