AUDITIONS

Sundog Theatre seeks 15 actors (M & F, ­all types) for Scenes from the Staten Island Ferry 2010 which runs March 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 in Staten Island and March 26, 27, 28 at the McGinn Cazale theatre on Broadway and 76th in Manhattan. Six one-act plays about the Ferry have been chosen from writers throughout the US. Each actor appears in 1 of the 6 plays.

Actors must be available for 3 evening rehearsals in Staten Island beginning March 8.
 
“Scenes…” is an exciting, fast-paced project and actors must be quick studies as this is not improvisation. Sundog is looking for enthusiastic artists committed to a creative, organized, high-quality process and result. We pay a stipend to all actors.
 
This will be an Actors Equity Association Showcase upon approval.
Please bring photo and resume. Prepare a 1 minute monolgue.You may be asked to read from a script.
