Stark Raven's Auditions

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(from Mark Donnelly)

The Stark Ravens are bringing the Panto back to the Dickens Fair with a brand new all-original show entitled Aladdin Meets Cinderella and Visits the Monkey King OR Harlequin and Queen Splenda Triumphant Over the Big Bad Wolf.   We are looking for a variety of support in terms of actors for lead roles as well as understudies, tech crew, production crew (painters, fabricators, costumers, carpenters, etc), musicians and puppeteers.  Contact Mark Donnelly at troubadorio@earthlink.net if you are interested in helping out.  Let me know what sort of things you've done before.  Thanks!"

Thanks,
 
Mark
Siamsa Auditions (Revised)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Siamsa Auditions (Revised)
(from Shirleigh Brannon)
 
Siamsa (music and dance of Ireland and Scotland) is looking for a few good people to join us for Dickens and beyond....
(Please nota bene: we are a year round performing troupe and are not looking for performers who are only available for Dickens)
 
We are interested in musicians who
(a) are already familiar with playing Scottish or Irish dance music (preferably both);
(b) already have a good stage ensemble instrument and know how to play it; and
(c) are willing to make the commitment to rehearse with us - no "just sitting in" unless you check with Shirleigh or Sean first.
 
We are also always happy to audition Scottish or Irish dancers - please be at least a novice/prizewinner Irish dancer (or the equivalent in Scottish dance) and be able to play well with others.
Above caveats also apply.
 
What do you get in exchange? The chance to get to know and perform (without a net) with amazing, sweet, dedicated and dryly funny people in a successful, fast-paced, seat-of-your-pants show where you will discover performance, music, and dance flexibility you never knew you had!
 
For more info e-mail us at info@siamsa.net or catch us RIGHT AFTER morning meeting on the first day of workshops, at the back of the meeting hall.
