The Peterborough Players will hold auditions and interviews for the 2003 season on Monday evening, March 17 beginning at 6:30 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 (one contemporary and one classical). 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 CANDIDA (which will begin rehearsals July 3, open on July 16, and close July 27) or YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU (which will begin rehearsals July 17, open July 30, and close August 17). Non-equity actors should have at least one monologue prepared (memorized is preferred but not necessary) and be ready to read from the script.

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 mainstage 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 5. Those interested in the Second Company should prepare two contrasting monologues (one contemporary and one classical) 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 mainstage season consists of GOING TO ST. IVES, PROOF, CANDIDA, YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU, ALWAYS…PATSY CLINE, and SYNCOPATION. The Second Company season consists of two plays for children and families to be announced.

Auditions are by appointment only. To schedule a time or to obtain further information, call 603-924-9344.
