Madrigal Theatre Play and Musical Auditions, January 15 - 17, 2013

Calling all University of Texas at Austin students! 

UT's Madrigal Theatre Committee is holding auditions for its two original, student-written productions to debut this spring! For the first time ever, our committee is simultaneously producing an original play and an original musical, and we're looking for performers of all experience levels to cast these exciting new shows! Auditions for both shows will take place across three days in the Student Activity Center on campus. You must be a UT student to audition but do not need to be any particular major.

 


Auditions for the musical Agon:
Tuesday Jan. 15: SAC 1.118, 7-10 p.m.; Wednesday Jan. 16: SAC 1.118, 7-10 p.m.; Thursday Jan. 17: SAC 1.118, 8-11 p.m.

The Madrigal play auditions:
Tuesday Jan. 15: SAC 1.106, 7-10 p.m.; Wednesday Jan. 16: SAC 1.106, 7-10 p.m.; Thursday Jan. 17: SAC 1.106, 7-10 p.m.

Those auditioning for the musical should plan to show up promptly at the beginning of the audition block (7:00pm on Tuesday and Wednesday, 8pm on Thursday) on their selected audition day, prepared to sing 32 bars or 30 seconds to a minute of a song that showcases their voice. Beyond that, auditions for both the play and the musical will consist of cold reads. No monologue necessary.

The musical Agon tells the story of a high school class election that takes place in a dystopian future where nerds have taken control of society. The play has been picked from several exciting submissions, all of which are written by UT students. The Madrigal play will perform April 10 and 11 in the SAC Auditorium. The musical, Agon, performs April 18, 19, 20 in the SAC Auditorium as well.

Join us for these exciting new productions! Contact Reid O'Conor at reidoconor@utexas.edu or Matt Hill at mattbhill@live.com for more information on Madrigal Theatre auditions, or visit us at our website or at Facebook.

IMHO: Austin Live Theatre Applause Awards, 2010 - 2011

AUSTIN LIVE THEATRE “APPLAUSE” FOR THE 2010 - 2011 SEASON

from a survey of the 104 productions reviewed since May 1, 2010

In a non-competitive examination of the 2010 - 2011 season so far, ALTcom offers enthusiastic renewed applause to favorite productions, performances and artists listed in the continuation here (click 'Read more' to view all mentions).

ALT reviews appeared over the course of a year but in fact covered only nine months of theatre activity in the greater Austin area. I was away for most of July and August, missing among other events the summer musical season, and I was also out of Austin for most of December.

I've spent a lot of time assembling this collection -- entering happily into the same sort of time trap that catches you when you sit down to go through those boxes of old photos and letters that got stuck in the back of the closet. These really are no more than expressions of my humble opinion, informed by the productions I was fortunate enough to see and probably disinformed by lapses of memory and attention. I see now that the choice after the summer to spend less time in the audience has had an effect. I stayed away from some productions I certainly would have enjoyed and appreciated. This past year I spent less time on the periphery, missing the opportunity to nose into very interesting theatrical developments away from the downtown core.

I've linked the listings to ALT reviews where available, and I've tried to make sure all mentions and credits are correct. If you see any omissions, please let me know at michaelmeigs@austinlivetheatre.com.
