AUDITIONING NOW
BEYOND THE VEIL:
A Celebration of Life and Death
AUDITIONING: Actors, Dancers, Singers, and Physical Theatre Practitioners from the community to perform in the world premiere of BEYOND THE VEIL: A CELEBRATION OF LIFE AND DEATH – an immersive and original theatrical event that explores our relationship in the West to death and dying, as well as to the unseen world. This unique experience will be comprised of monologues, storytelling, movement/dance, physical theatre, a cappella singing, and improvisation.
We are looking for artists who are passionate about being a part of an original work and committed to the creative process. This is a community project so professional experience is not a prerequisite.
Audition:
Thursday, September 5th,
3:30-7:30 PM
IN PERSON at Theatre O
(5311 Western Ave. Suite 120, Boulder)
Please plan to be available for call backs at 7:30-9:30 PM.
Slots will be scheduled on an as-available basis in 15-20 min. intervals.
Please schedule an audition and specify what type of role(s) you are interested in via our SignUpGenius link.
These auditions will be casual and interactive. Come open-minded and ready to play!
*If you wish to audition for various roles, sign up for multiple slots.
Please prepare the following:
Actors: Please bring a short monologue, no more than one minute in length. If you don't have a monologue prepared, bring a portion of your favorite story to read. We will provide material for you to cold-read when you arrive.

Production and Cast Meeting:
Where/When:
Sunday, Sept. 8th, 3:30 PM at Theatre O
Overview:
Michelle will distribute scripts, discuss production roles, create a rehearsal schedule, and review her overall vision for this event. This will serve as a collaborative time to ask questions, articulate ideas, and meet with the other artists involved! Most importantly, we will be assigning teams and discussing budgets, deadlines, and projects.
This meeting will be setting both the literal and metaphorical stage for the event, so EVERYONE who is a part of this event should be present. If you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT attend in person we can stream you in via Zoom. If you are uncertain about your involvement and in what capacity you may be available/interested, please COME! This meeting will be the determining factor for all interested individuals to see if this event is a fit for their skills and personal interests.
Rehearsal times are flexible, as the performance aspect of this event is composed mostly of solo acts and small groups of 2-4 people maximum. We will be putting together the “show” the week before it opens.
Tentative Event Performance Dates:
11/22-11/24 evening
