The Actorvist

Have you come across those sites that make you pay to view the details of auditions?  This isn’t one of those sites. I find them to be irritating.  This is merely a resource to help you find auditions you may not have seen or heard about.  If this site helps you out in your search, then I am happy.  Also, should you find that any of these notices are for unscrupulous acts, please notify me immediately at jery@TheActorvist.com.  Please feel free to let me know if this was useful to you!  Thanks a million.

Auditions for “I Love Your, You’re Perfect, Now Change”

Please read carefully.

Seeking non-union talent who have already done a production of: “I love You, Your Perfect, Now Change”

First: This will be a paid gig! Second: Should be about ten days with rehearsal, and 4-5 performances, with the possibility of more, the week of Valentines, in Feb. Third: If we do it, it will be done on the largest stage in the world, in Reno Nevada. I say, “If we do it”, because it is still only perspective and dependent on too many factors, with such a small window to mount the show. One of those factors, is you, the talent.

We are working on putting on a short run production of the show, We need folks who have done the show before, (I can’t stress that enough) You must know the show by heart, because rehearsal will only be about seven full days. Mostly staging, choreography, and vocal work.

Hotel and transport will be paid for: Most likely two to a room.

We would like to cast 3 women, and 3 men. All must be terrific vocalist, versatile, and hard working. No prima doona’s  please. We won’t have the time for it.

Pay will be $100.00 for rehearsal, and $100.00 per show. With the possibility….let me stress, I said POSSIBILITY of a bonus at the end, depending on ticket sales, and after all cost have been paid for.

Please e-mail me with your resume, any video, or music you have of you doing the show. Or a link to a site, I can view or listen too. The parts you played, etc.

Once we know for sure our schedule, I will hold formal auditions.  email: Bo_Golden@msn.com. No calls yet, at this time.  If we do it………it should be crazy fun!
