LALT News:
The Los Alamos Little Theatre (LALT) has announced auditions for its March production of two one-act vignette plays, “The Myths at the Edge of the World” by Matthew Webster and “Moonbow Miraculous” by Kirk Shimano.
A diverse and intergenerational all-ages cast is sought for this family-friendly show. Children should be old enough to “sit still, pay attention, and take direction,” Director Mimi Adams said.
Auditions are 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18 and 5 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 19 in the main auditorium of the Performing Arts Center, 1670 Nectar St.
Those interested in auditions should prepare a monologue, story excerpt, poem or other dramatic reading 60-90 seconds long. This is generally less than a half-page of text on letter-sized paper in average-sized font.
Memorization is not required, but pieces should be well-practiced and familiar to actors.
In addition to prepared monologues, auditions will include a group Hokey Pokey, movement, non-singing vocal work, and improvisation. It is also possible that participants will work from the script.
Note that minors under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to sign paperwork. Everyone auditioning should be prepared to provide a schedule of time conflicts. COVID and other viral precautions are encouraged and appreciated.
Scripts are available to study at the reference desk at Mesa Public Library and White Rock Branch Library. Note that it is not necessary to read scripts ahead of time for the read-through or auditions.
If needed, individual appointments can be scheduled as well.
Auditioners will need to fill out an audition form and sign the LALT Code of Conduct before participating. To complete this step in advance, go to https://tinyurl.com/
“The Myths at the Edge of the World” and “Moonbow Miraculous” will be performed 7 p.m. March 7, 8, 14 and 15, and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 9 and 16. Note the early start time for the evening performances.
The plays are produced by special arrangement with Theatrefolk (theatrefolk.com).
