The Peterborough Players will hold auditions and interviews for the 2005 season on Monday evening, March 21 beginning at 6:00 PM. Artistic Director Gus Kaikkonen will see auditions from members of Actors’ Equity, non-Equity local actors, and from those interested in joining the Players’ Second Company as an intern or apprentice.

Equity members should prepare two contrasting monologues. The audition will be a general one for the entire season, not necessarily for specific roles. Non-Equity actors who are not interested in a season-long internship or apprenticeship will audition for possible supporting roles in INHERIT THE WIND (which will begin rehearsals June 30, open July 13, and close July 30). Non-Equity actors should have at least one monologue prepared (memorized is preferred but not necessary) and be ready to read from the script. Actors who want to be considered for musical roles should be prepared to sing something a cappella.

The Second Company is comprised of interns and apprentices who make a minimum 13 week commitment to the Players’ season. Intern actors will perform in the two Second Company plays, and many will play a supporting role in one of the subscription series plays. In addition, Second Company members work in the various technical shops and offices, and serve on run crews. Work begins for the Second Company on June 1, 2005. Those interested in the Second Company should prepare two contrasting monologues and be prepared to sing something a cappella. In addition to auditions for Second Company actors, interviews will be held for those interested in technical or administrative internships or apprenticeships.

The subscription season consists of GRACE AND GLORIE, LETTICE AND LOVAGE, INHERIT THE WIND, SOLIDARITY (a world premiere), YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN, and A NUMBER. The Second Company season consists of JACK AND THE BEANSTALK and LITTLE WOMEN.
Scripts and sides are available for perusal at the Players office. Auditions are by appointment only. To schedule a time or to obtain further information, call 603-924-9344.
