The Peterborough Players will hold auditions and interviews for the 2004 season on Thursday evening, March 11 beginning at 7:00 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 LAUGHING STOCK (which will begin rehearsals July 8, open on July 21, and close August 1) or THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL (which will begin rehearsals July 22, open August 4, and close August 15). 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 8. 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 mainstage season consists of FULLY COMMITTED, ABOUT TIME, LAUGHING STOCK, THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL, COOKIN’ AT THE COOKERY, and THE GLASS MENAGERIE. The Second Company season consists of Hans Christian Andersen’s NIGHINGALE and a second play 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.
