5th Annual General Auditions Announced
Albuquerque Theatre Guild Hosts June 9-10, 2012 Event
Albuquerque, N.M. Albuquerque Theatre Guild proudly announces the 5th Annual ATG General Auditions. Auditions will be held Saturday, June 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday, June 10 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Aux Dog Theatre, 3011 Monte Vista Blvd. NE. General Auditions are for immediate casting needs, upcoming productions, independent projects and exposure to local theatre organizations and directors.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to audition simultaneously for many independent projects and ATG member theater companies for their upcoming production seasons. Actors can be seen by several directors at once,” says Claudia Mathes, ATG board member. Actors should prepare both a classical and a contemporary monologue that together total 3 minutes. Sides will be available for those without prepared pieces. To schedule a time slot, please contact
CAMATHES@comcast.net. Callbacks will be coordinated by individual ATG member theater company directors.
Local producers and directors say general auditions are productive because they see a variety of talent at the same time. Says one director, “I found the general auditions very valuable. I will be casting a show, and will be looking for talent.” Another writes, “I found a wonderful young actress…I’d have never found her without the auditions. I’ll be there this year for sure.”
