The League of Cincinnati Theatres’ 2008 Unified Audition is on the move! The annual audition is moving to a new month and location to accommodate the expanding casting needs of Cincinnati Theatres.
“The February date will give actors who audition a better competitive edge,” says LCT President Jim Stump. “Many LCT theatres cast their interns and young company members during the traditional regional unified audition season in February and March. Theatres attend these regional auditions specifically to hire graduating college theatre majors as interns. Local theatres have expressed interest in the ability to consider more local actors for these internships.”
Stump adds “We also have more theatres producing shows in the summer again. With shows now going up in June, having the auditions in May didn't allow these companies to consider the actors who attended.”
The LCT 2008 Unified Auditions will be held Saturday, February 23 and Monday, February 25 at the Carnegie Center for Visual and Performing Arts, 1028 Scott Boulevard in Covington. They are open to actors 18 years of age and older. Actors will have two minutes to perform two contrasting monologues or a monologue and a song. Scheduling priority on Monday, February 25 will be given to members of Actors’ Equity Association and on both days to members of the League of Cincinnati Theatres.
Applications are available online here at CinStages.com in the audition section. Applications received by February 16 will be guaranteed audition slots; applications received after that date will be scheduled only if slots remain available.
