Impressive for our first year, huh?  We are psyched.

Also this weekend are auditions for A Home at the Zoo, by Edward Albee.  Auditions are at 806 and 810 and the show will be at 810 in January!  Here is the audition notice:

***

Auditions for Edward Albee's AT HOME AT THE ZOO will be held at Theatre 810 on Friday, November 30 at 7pm and Saturday, December 1 at 3pm.

WE ARE CASTING ONE FEMALE LEAD TO PLAY THE ROLE OF ANN, a strong and loving woman who is unhappy with her status quo marriage and is ready to poke and prod it a little to find out what's underneath.

Actors interested should be 27-40 and should come prepared with a one minute contemporary monologue. We will also ask for a short cold read from the script (we will provide). The production will be directed by Cooper Helm and will show the last weekend of January and the first weekend of February with a preview night January 25th.

Thank you to all who share this and are interested. If you have any questions about the audition or the play, please contact me.

Until next week, folks....

 

Week of 11/12

So, I have been neglectful of this blog.  I admit it.  Things at 810 got busy, and I put it to the side.  However, my feet are back on the ground, and I am here to tell you about this week's theatre happenings!

Tonight at 810 is the FIRST MONTHLY Readers Theatre!  We will be reading/listening to Lanford Wilson's The Rimers of Eldritch, and we are really excited about the enthusiasm that we have gotten from the Lafayette community about this monthly event.  We can get together as a group, hear a new play (or revisit an old one) and make new friends!  We will be posting photos of our first meeting later this week on our Facebook page and announcing next month's date, so check it all out!

On Saturday at the theatre is an improv workshop with Stage Monkey's Elaine and Jason.  Wanna beef up your improv skills?  Never done improv before?  Check it out - it's an all day affair culminating in a workshop performance that evening for your family and friends!

On Sunday, we are having a Weekend Work Call for 810 and 806.  The theatre needs a little TLC after weeks and weeks of continual use, so if you have a bit of time, we would love to see you there.  Oh - and we will feed and water you for your time :)

One last thing - we would like to thank all of the patrons that came to support the recent shows at 810.  The Tea Sippers' 70 Scenes of Halloween, Wanderlust's The Monster Tales, and AUI's Dracula were great successes, and wouldn't have been without your support.

See you next Monday, I promise...
