Staged Reading: "Snapshots"
Theatre Guild of Simsbury presents
A Season of Staged Readings
The Staged Reading Series
The Theatre Guild of Simsbury’s Staged Reading Series at McLean is the perfect opportunity for actors of all ages and experience levels. Each staged reading will provide actors with the opportunity to take part in a short-term production that is ideal for those who are unable to commit to a full play or musical, those who are new to the stage and seasoned actors looking for their next production. Each show will have a total of six rehearsals (including an open dress rehearsal for McLean residents) and one performance open to the public.
Auditions for both the February and March productions will take place on February 3rd (Old Court Room) and February 4th (Youth Room) at Eno Hall in Simsbury from 7pm-9pm. Please bring a short monologue to read (this monologue does not need to be memorized) to the auditions. Both of the audition rooms are in the basement of Eno Hall.
February
Love Notes
Director: Olivia Piper
In the month of February, the Theatre Guild of Simsbury will be performing Love Notes, a collection of scenes from plays, major movies and television shows surrounding the theme of love: romantic, familial, crazy, unrequited, funny, constant and true. Love Notes will make you laugh, make you cry and have you falling in love over and over again.
March
Snapshot
Directors: Olivia Piper, Melissa Otero
In the month of March, the Theatre Guild of Simsbury will be performing Snapshot, an anthology of dramatic scenes that center around the famous photograph Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, 1969 taken by photographer Lee Friedlander. These thought-provoking scenes and monologues range from delightful comedy to utterly serious tragedy, each approaching the photo's themes through a new lens.
The Staged Reading Series will continue in May with more shows that will be announced in the coming months.
Rehearsal/Performance Dates
Love Notes: Rehearsals will take place on February 11th, 13th, 18th, 20th, 24th and *25th from approximately 7-9pm at McLean, with a public performance at McLean on February 28th at 7:30 pm
Snapshot: Rehearsals will take place on March 10th, 12th, 17th, 19th, 23rd and *24th from approximately 7-9pm at McLean, with a public performance at McLean on March 27th at 7:30 pm.
* Indicates Open Dress Rehearsal for McLean Residents
Actors should plan to be in attendance at each rehearsal (the open dress rehearsal and public performance being mandatory) though rehearsal conflicts will not necessarily disqualify an actor from being cast.
