Auditions for Virtual Production of Failure: A Love Story
SEP 8 AT 7 PM – SEP 9 AT 9 PM
ABOUT THE PLAY
By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead -- expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from blunt object to the head, disappearance, and finally consumption. Tuneful songs, and a whimsical chorus follow the story of Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River, before their time unexpectedly runs out. A magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual's successes or failures.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION
Due to COVID-19, this is a virtual production. Most or all rehearsals will take place over Zoom. There will not be a typical final performance. Instead, the final product will be created by editing together recorded Zoom sessions, along with a bit of creativity!
CASTING
Seeking 7-12 cast members: 3 female-identified actors, 2 male-identified actors, and 2-7 actors of any gender.
IMPORTANT DATES
Rehearsals begin September 2020. Filming will begin as rehearsals continue. Rehearsals and filming will conclude by early November 2020. The final product will be available for streaming November 20-22, 2020.
Auditions will be held via Zoom. You will sign up for a one-hour time slot and will be seen both in a group and individually during that time. You should be prepared to stay the full hour.
For your audition, prepare a monologue, no longer than 60 seconds. If you are unable to prepare a monologue in advance, you are still welcome to audition, and should expect to read a monologue from the script.
This is a non-paying production.
Callbacks are scheduled for Saturday, September 12 from 1-5pm and will consist of readings from the script. If you are unavailable for the callback, please note this on your audition form; this will not be counted against you.
