Almost, Maine

By John Cariani

Directed by Alex Draper

4 performances: October 29-31 in Seeler Studio Theatre

On a cold, clear, moonless winter night in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine, things aren’t quite what they seem.  Beneath the northern lights in a star-filled sky, residents fall in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways.  Knees are bruised and hearts are broken — but in this delightful midwinter night’s dream, the bruises heal and the hearts mend.

Casting 8 roles.

3 stage Management positions available

Antigone

by Sophocles

a production with songs, music, and movement.

Directed by Michole Biancosino

3 performances: December. 3-5  in Wright Memorial Theatre

Given the choice to follow the law of the state or her own sense of duty to her family, a young woman stands up and resists, even though she risks losing everything.  This timely Greek tragedy explores justice, conscience, and what it means to live by one’s beliefs. 

Casting 10-15 roles. Singers and Musicians needed and encouraged to attend auditions and/or email the director about your interest.

3 Stage Management positions available. 

Call Backs

All Students will be contacted via email. Final cast lists will be posted on the Theatre bulletin board prior to registration.

Additional Information:

Please sign up here. Be sure to be a few minutes early for your audition so you have time to complete the questionnaire the proctor will hand out.

We will hear people individually in the order they have signed up. All are requested to have a 45 - 60 second monologue, memorization and preparation are strongly preferred. The monologue can be either classical or contemporary.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are unable to attend auditions in person, please send a short video of your monologue to professors Alex Draper and Michole Biancosino. Videos received by Wednesday, April 15 will be considered for the callbacks. 

Need a Monologue?

You can bring your own or the Theatre Department has a few options available for you here (you must be signed in to Google with your Midd credentials). 

Interested in getting involved in productions not as a performer? 

Interested in being part of a production but not as a performer? There’s more to theatre than what the audience sees! You can enroll in Spring Production Studio: Acting as a stage manager or assistant stage manager (requires permission from director), or enroll in Spring Production Studio: Design and create lighting, scenery, and props. Student shows need designers, stage managers and light and sound board operators.
