Are you a veteran actor, a novice actor, or someone in between who would like like the opportunity to audition for CATCO?
We are about to hold general auditions, so this could be your chance!
Twice per year, we hold general auditions where we are able to see the wealth of talent that is available in Columbus and this helps us start the process of casting our shows. The winter auditions are scheduled for February 21 and 22, 2010.
This year, with the merger of CATCO and the Phoenix Theatre taking place, Geoff Nelson, Steven Anderson, and Jonathan Putnam will be attending, and actors will have the opportunity to perform for one or more of them, depending on scheduling.
When are the auditions?
Audtions for non-Equity actors are on Sunday February 21st, 2010 from 6:00pm-9:00pm
Auditions for Equity actors are on Monday February 22nd, 2010 from 6:00pm-9:00pm
Where are the auditions?
The auditions will be held at the Van Fleet Theatre of the Columbus Performing Arts Center at 549 Franklin Ave. in downtown Columbus (formerly the Davis Center).
How do you schedule an audition?
Equity actors may call Associate Artistic Director Jonathan Putnam at (614) 461-1382 ext.151 or e-mail jputnam@catco.org to schedule a Monday audition time. Please bring a picture/resume; professional references are strongly encouraged.
Non-Equity actors must submit a headshot, resume, and the names and phone numbers of three references to: CATCO/ General Auditions, 77 South High Street, 2nd floor, Columbus, OH 43215 or to: jputnam@catco.org. Deadline for submissions is 5:00 PM on Thursday February 16.
What should you prepare?
Actors will have three minutes to audition and may choose to present two contrasting monologues or one piece with considerable range. Singing actors may additionally present 16-32 bars. An accompanist will be provided and a CD/cassette player will be available.
Is there any fine print?
Of course there is! But I decided to use the same font so you can actually read it….
These are Equity Principal Auditions. No monitor will be provided. The producer will run all aspects of the audition. Actors of all ethnic and racial backgrounds are encouraged to audition.
Deadline for submissions is 5:00 PM on Thursday February 16. Space is limited.
Are there any other opportunities to audition for CATCO?
Yes! CATCO will also be attending the Theatre Roundtable Unified Auditions on February 27 and the Unified Professional Theatre Auditions (UPTA’s) in Memphis, TN on February 5 through 8.
Additionally, we will be holding a second round of general auditions this summer; watch this blog for more news as we have it.
