Auditions for Hairspray will be held Sunday, June 16 & Monday, June17, 2013, while auditions for this year’s Shakespeare in the Park production, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, will be held Sunday, June 23 & Monday, June 24, 2013.  Please check the production dates for each show as you must be available for all performances.

Hairspray is a Tony Award winning, fun-filled musical set in 1960’s Baltimore.  Tracy Turnblad is a plus-size teen who wants to dance on the Corny Collins Show.  When her dream comes true, she also sets out to win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin and to desegregate the TV network.

Roles in Hairspray are available for males age 13 and up and females age 10 and up.  As always, all ethnicities are encouraged to audition. Please prepare a song (about 2 pages worth) in the style of the show. The song does not have to be from the show but should be upbeat.  Please bring sheet music for the accompanist.  A cappella auditions are discouraged.

Hairspray is a heavy dance show, and there will be a dance portion of the audition.  Wear comfortable clothing, and if you have dance or character shoes, please bring them.  Please do not wear flip flops or open-toed shoes.  Being able to dance is not a requirement, but will help determine casting.

Rehearsals for Hairspray will begin the week after July 4.  Performance dates are September 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, and 22, 2013.  School shows will be performed during the day on September 20. There will also be a performance for the producers with the date yet to be determined.

Roles for A Midsummer Night’s Dream are available for males and females, ages 10 and up. Shakespeare’s most popular comedy portrays the adventures of four young lovers and a group of amateur actors and their interactions with woodland fairies, a duke, and a duchess.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.  You can easily find a synopsis and even the whole script online if you are unfamiliar with the play.  Please wear comfortable clothing for ease of movement.  The production will take place at Southside Park on August 16, 22, 23, and 24, 2013.

All auditions will be held at the Old Post Office Playhouse located at 10 South Main Avenue, Newton, NC 28658.  Please enter at the lower level door at the back of the building (on South Ashe Avenue).

VOLUNTEER
Would you like to get involved as a volunteer? Ushering, working concessions, or in the box office earns you a free admission to HART shows. Just email us at harttheater@gmail.com and give us your contact information and the things you would be interested in doing. Or give your information to any HART Board member or Staff member. If you want to get involved backstage come to the auditions for the show you would be available to help with and just give your name and information to the Stage Manager and any other information about what you would like to do and your availability. The Stage Manager for each show assembles the crew for that production from those who express an interest. Each show needs crew for sound, lights and backstage.

2013 Audition Dates

You can be a part of a HART production! HART (The Haywood Arts Regional Theater) is a semi-professional, community theater which offers paid positions to professional and semi-professional actors in leading or specialty roles and volunteer opportunities in all roles to community theater actors.

Professionals and Semi-Professionals
Actors who define themselves as professional or semi-professional are expected to have considerable experience on stage and/or training in theater from a college theater program. Actors in this category may be students pursuing a degree in theater, actors who have theater degrees and actors who have appeared on stage in the region in leading roles or character roles over a number of years. An actor in this category is expected to present a professional audition – a prepared monologue (not necessarily from the show being cast) sheet music for an accompanist if it is a musical audition, and an 8×10 photo with attached resume. Actors not prepared in this way may audition as community theater actors.

Community Theater Actors
Actors who define themselves as community theater actors are offering to donate their time on stage as volunteers. They may be cast in any role including leading parts. Actors in this category may, or may not have experience and/or training. Experienced actors may simply be electing to donate their time and talent. Inexperienced actors are joining the company and learning the craft in process. When auditioning community theater actors will be asked to cold read from the script. They are not expected to have photos or resumes but should try to bring sheet music or recorded accompaniment if auditioning for a musical.

Gas Stipends
Anyone in the cast traveling from outside of Haywood County may apply for a gas stipend to help defray some of the expense of commuting to the theater.

Comps and T-Shirts
Every member of the cast receives one production T-shirt and One comp ticket to the show. Actors may be asked to help post posters but are not expected to recruit audience. One of the final dress rehearsals is open to friends and family. In addition friends and family may volunteer to help as ushers and at concessions to see the show for free.

Actor Compensation
HART is unable to compensate professional and semi-professional actors at a level which truly recognizes the value of their talent, training, or time in the way a fully professional company may. The level of compensation generally ranges from $10 – $30 per performance, depending on the size of the role, and the actors experience. This is negotiated with the director who has to cast within a budget. This limited compensation is offered primarily to help define the role as “professional” on a resume, and to acknowledge the value of the actor’s training and experience.

Equity Actors
HART on occasion employs actors who are members of Actors Equity Association under a Special Appearance contract. Due to the expense these actors are usually brought in one week before tech and are expected to be able to step into a role with very limited rehearsal time. Contract terms are negotiated individually but Equity performers are expected to be available as needed during their contract.

Anyone interested in working backstage or on the crew should also come by during auditions to get involved.

Please Note:
Audition dates are subject to change. Any changes will be posted here or you can call 828-456-6322 for more information.
