The Belfast Maskers is set to hold open auditions in August for the group’s Festival of One Acts, due to be presented in the theater from Oct. 6-14.
Twelve actors are needed, for roles ranging in age from late teens to 60-ish. Anyone, with or without experience, can try out from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 8, or from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday,
Aug. 12, at the Basil Burwell Community Theater, 17 Court St.
Auditioners should prepare a short comic monologue, if possible. Monologues should be no longer than two minutes. There will be printed monologues available for anyone who needs one and time allowed to prepare, according to a news release from the nonprofit organization.
There will also be cold scene readings from the plays to be performed. One audition will serve for all plays.
Since these shows run from 15 to 25 minutes, and have small casts, rehearsals will probably be once weekly for most actors.
All four short plays have comic overtones. Directors are Gregory Marsanskis, Tyler Johnstone, Wendy Wincote Schweikert and Christopher Van Doren.
The production will be presented with cabaret-style seating, food and drinks, in the theater.
A description of each play is available at belfastmaskers.com/pages/auditions.
For more information about casting and rehearsals, contact Marsanskis at 207-322-9867 or info@belfastmaskers.com.
