audition dates
Auditions are July 22 and 23 from 7-10 pm. Callbacks are July 28 from
1-3 pm.
audition information
Recent views of the Mid East --Iraq in particular-- are tarnished by politics and conflict, overshadowing the fact that the Tigris and Euphrates (Mesopotamia) is the cradle of modern civilization and Baghdad is a culturally vibrant and historically rich city. This version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream has been adapted to take place in Baghdad with cultural, artistic, literary and historical references to the Middle East. Our hope is to use this fantasy to evoke the beauty and culture of the region and promote a greater appreciation of Middle Eastern society. The director is encouraging actors of all ethnicities--particularly Middle-Eastern--to
audition. The cast
consists of 10-15 characters ages 17 and up. Those auditioning should attend
one of the two regular auditions and be available for callbacks. Auditions consist
of cold readings from the script, improvisations, and movement. Actors will
meet two times with the director over the summer before regular rehearsals
begin September 9. Actors auditioning are encouraged to wear lose-fitting or comfortable clothing. Please bring a headshot or recent photo.

"Moon Over Buffalo"
Audition form
"Moon Over Buffalo"
Participation form
audition dates
Auditions are Sunday, Jan. 6th and Monday, Jan. 7th , 2008 at 7:00 p.m.
Callbacks are Wednesday, Jan. 9th, at 7:00 p.m.
audition information
Welcome to audition information for AACT’s production of “Moon Over
Buffalo”, running March 6^th through March 9^th , 2008, at the Arthur
Miller Theatre in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This show is directed by Jon Elliott
and produced by Teresa Myers, who previously teamed to present AACT’s
lauded production of “Inherit The Wind”.
“Moon Over Buffalo” is a raucous farce about a dysfunctional
theater troupe performing at the Erlander Theatre in Buffalo, New York, in 1953.
The diva lead actress, Charlotte Hay, is barely tolerant of her philandering
semi-alcoholic husband, George, and mishaps and confusions arise for the company
when presented the opportunity of famed film director Frank Capra attending
a performance to possibly cast the two for a movie. Their temperamental daughter
Rosalind splits time between fiance Howard and ex-fiance Paul, who works as
the company’s stage manager. Charlotte’s nearly-deaf mother, Ethel,
and Richard, a would-be suitor for Charlotte, make their contributions to the
mayhem as Eileen, a young actress in the company, reveals her pregnancy to all.
The hopeful actors sprint through the tangle of confusion to produce a woefully
misbegotten mixture of two different plays in th eir hoped-for presentation
piece, and in the play’s climactic scene, manage to set everything right
by still more series of coincidences and mishaps. Overall, “Moon Over
Buffalo” is a fast-paced and energetic night of entertainment.
General Auditions for “Moon Over Buffalo” will take place on
Sunday, Jan. 6th and Monday, Jan. 7th , 2008 at 7:00 p.m. at the studio of Ann
Arbor Civic Theater at 322 W. Ann St., Ann Arbor, Michigan. Those auditioning
need attend only one General Audition session. Auditions will consist
of cold readings from the script and some theater exercises, so please come
prepared for movement.
Callbacks will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 9th , at 7:00 p.m. at the same
address. Again, come prepared for movement.
Scripts are available for perusal at the office of the Ann Arbor Civic Theater.
IMPORTANT: If cast, the first read-through will be on Thursday, Jan. 10th
, at 7:00 p.m. at the Ann Arbor Civic Theater studio.
Also IMPORTANT: Due to the technical requirements of the production, ALL
actors will be required to contribute a minimum of six (6) hours for production
assistance. This can be in the form of set building (preferred) or help in other
areas of the production. Additionally, the play itself is very energetic and
fast-paced and will require a lot of physical work on the part of the actors,
including sword play and pratfalls. While physical condition will not preclude
specifically anyone from being cast, it is important to know that it will be
a physically demanding show. Physical actions, including swordplay and pratfalls,
will be taught in production. Lastly, continuity is important for such a fast-paced
production. If you have a large number of conflicts for scheduling purposes
of the production, it is possible that you will not be cast, no matter what
the quality of your audition. Please bring to the General Auditions a comprehensive
list of your conflicts for the period from Jan. 6th through March 9th , 2008.
Bear in mind that the only Friday and Saturday commitments are for the week
of production, and for technical/set building sessions. Rehearsals will be held
on Sunday through Thursday each week, at 7:00 p.m. at 322 W. Ann St., Ann Arbor,
unless specifically announced otherwise.
character descriptions
George Hay: male, age 45-65, an over-the-top actor whose philandering, drinking
and ego know no bounds, and yet, is still likeable underneath it all. 300+ lines
+ one major soliloquy, lots of physicality required, including drunkenness,
wrestling, swordplay and a pratfall.
Charlotte Hay: female, age 45-65, George’s wife, and perhaps the only
person on earth whose ego is bigger than George’s. Yet she, too, is likeable.
Just as over-the-top as an actress. 300+ lines. Some physicality required, including
swordplay.
Rosalind Hay: female, age 25-35, Charlotte and George’s daughter, who
craves a ‘normal’ life and yet cannot escape the theatre. As Paul’s
ex-fiance, she re vels in the tension between them. 200+ lines. Some physicality,
including running.
Howard: male, age 30-50, a television weatherman and Rosalind’s current
fiance. He possesses a sunny disposition and a natural innocence which is charming,
but gets him in trouble with the theater people, of whom he is in awe. 200+
lines. Physicality includes swordplay, wrestling and jumping around while ‘tied
up’.
Paul: male, age 25-40, the company’s stage manager and Rosalind’s
ex-fiance. Supposedly the calming force in this constant nutty maelstrom, he
is just as wacky as any of them. 200+ lines. Physicality includes running and
wrestling.
Ethel: female, 50-80, Charlotte’s mother and company costumer. Her near-deafness
only contributes to the general sense of confusion, as ; her common sense, biting
humor and sage advice go virtually ignored. 100+ lines.. Minor physicality.
Richard: male, age 40-70, a successful attorney for the company who is in
love with the glamour of theater and, by extension, with its’ lead actress.
A romantic with a practical eye for finances. 50+ lines. Minor physicality.
Eileen: female, age 20-30, a young actress on the verge of breaking into the
business, who, while not innocent in action, maintains an eagerness which is
disarmingly charming. 40+ lines. Minor physicality.
I also wish to extend my apologies in advance to all of you who will audition
and not be cast. With such rich roles available in a great show, I know that
a lot of very talented people will be turned down for parts. Nonetheless, please
attend audi tions in droves. It should be a worthwhile and fun audition process.
Also, if you wish to assist in the production, you are more than welcome and
will not be turned away. Be sure to indicate so on your audition forms, or contact
me directly by e-mail.
Lastly, audition forms may be submitted by e-mail from the AACT website.
However, forms submitted after Thursday, Jan. 3rd , 2008, cannot be guaranteed
to be received so please submit them on-line no later than that date.

"A Few
Good Men" Audition Form
"A Few Good
Men" Participation Form
audition information:
Sunday, March 2, 2008 at 2pm, Monday, March 3, 2008 at 7pm, with
callbacks Tuesday, March 4, 2008 at 7pm.
There are a couple key roles that I can turn into women provided enough
women audition -- Judge Reynolds and Dr. Stone who both play big parts
in the 2nd act as well as possibly several smaller roles throughout the
show. As for ages, same thing for both -- 18-60. Auditions will consist
of cold readings from the script. *No audition monolgue is required!! I would also stress that this acript does have a lot of adult language
(lots of f-bombs) and people auditioning need to feel comfortable saying
those words (especially Kaffee and Jessep).
character information:
Kaffee - extremely arrogant, cocky, witty, charming and brilliant litigator, yet has massive insecurities about being a trial lawyer. Lives in the shadow of his brilliant father
Jo Gallaway - head-strong, ambitious, confident lawyer, but sometimes pushes herself and others too far. Inexperienced when it comes to trials. Not very personable
Sam Weinberg - the witty side-kick to Kaffee. Disagrees strongly with Jo and has several moments where he stands up for his beliefs, but he still does his job. Kaffee's best friend
Nathan Jessep - tough, strong, forceful and extremely demanding leader. He runs a tight ship and produces efficient marines but using questionable tactics to do so. Sticks strongly to his belief that he is defending his country despite his ambigious morals.
Jack Ross - Ross believes these men are innocent yet he is doing his job as a prosecuter. He cant let his own beliefs get in the way of his job
Kendrick - fanatically loyal to the corp, especially to Jessep. He is an extremely good officer but like Jessep, uses questionalble tactics and has ambigous morals yet ironically he is a very religious man
Markinson - Jessep's 2nd in command. He knows Jessep is using the wrong (and illegal) tactics but refuses to do anything about it. He won't stand up for himself and he lets Jessep bully him around
Dawson - one of the marines charged in Santiago 's murder. Strongly believes he was doing his job because he was ordered to give Santiago the Code Red. He doesn't see the difference between moral and immoral orders. He just follows them. Disagrees heavily with Kaffe throughout the show.
Downey - the other marine charged with the murder. He has the mind of a child. He doesn't understand whats happening to him or why his is on trial. He looks up to Dawson as if he's an older brother and does whatever he is told.
Randolph - the judge hearing the case. He(she) is the only person allowed to push Jessep around in the show, and definitely shows a commanding presence in the courtroom.

character information
PSEUDOLUS – A Roman slave, who although owned by young Hero, acts with wild abandon in a daring and hysterical manner plan to win his freedom by helping his young master win the heart of Philia . It is immediately clear who runs this neighborhood.
HERO – Senex ‘s young, innocent, son, who is seized by a growing, unfamiliar and somewhat confusing feeling when he first lays eyes on the virgin, Philia and realizes that he must have her.
PHILIA – A young, naïve virgin in the house of Marcus Lycus who is promised to a glorious soldier. She seems not to know what a soldier is, as she eagerly assumes each interested man is her bethrothed…even Hero's old father!
SENEX – (Latin for "old man") A Roman Senator living in a less fashionable suburb of Rome . Henpecked and nagged by his wife, he eagerly daydreams about and accepts the attention of the lovely young courtesan, Phylia.
MARCUS LYCUS – A purveyor of courtesans. Like any fine merchant of love, he searches the world over for the most unique, talented and pleasing women. He claims with modesty that he has the finest assortment in Rome .
DOMINA – The wife of Senex. A manipulative, shrewish woman who is loathed and feared by all -- even her husband.
ERRONIUS – Senex's elderly neighbor who has spent the past twenty years searching for his two children, kidnapped in infancy by pirates. His eyesight is and his hearing is ailing and he has a difficult time understanding and responding to things and people around him.
MILES GLORIOSUS – (Latin for "glorious soldier") A larger than life captain in the Roman army to whom Marcus Lycus has promised Philia. He is as he explains himself, “I am a parade!”
HYSTERIUM – The chief slave in the house of Senex. An anxious man, he is easily set off balance. His name is appropriate in spite of his insistence that “I'm Calm!”
THE COURTESANS : The women from the house of Marcus Lycus
TINTINABULA – “From out of the East, with the face of an idol…the arms of a willow tree… and the pelvis of a camel”. A dancer
VIBRATA – Exotic as a desert bloom…wonderous as a flamingo…lithe as a tigress…for the man whose interest is wild….
GEMINAE – A matched pair. Either one a divinely assembled woman, together an infinite number of mathematical possibilities. They are flawless .
PANACEA – To make her available, Marcus Lycus outbid the King of Nubia. She has the face that holds a thousand promises and a body that stands behind each promise. A dancer.
GYMNASIA – A giant stage upon which a thousand dramas can be played. Pseudolus is smitten by her.
THE PROTEANS- Literally the chorus, they play multiple roles in the play (Pirates, Soldiers, & Eunuchs), they appear and disappear doing various bits of pantomime, clowning, and other things erratic and dramatic. They bring frenzy and frolic to the stage.
Inspired by Bruno Bettelheim's 1976 book, “The Uses of Enchantment,” Into the Woods intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales and follows them further to explore the consequences of the characters' wishes and quests. The main characters are taken from the stories of Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, and Cinderella, tied together by an original story involving a Baker and his wife and their quest to begin a family, and including references to several other well-known tales.
