Audition Alert: Flash Back To Radio with NCP
Ever wanted to be in radio? Love old radio dramas? Not a huge fan of memorizing a lot of dialogue and blocking? The Newberry Community Players will hold auditions in February for a live reenactment of original "Flash Gordon" radio scripts. Open auditions will be held on Sunday, February 17 and Monday, February 18 @ 6:30 at The Ritz Theater 1511 Main St. in Downtown
Newberry. This reader's theater cast will play radio announcers creating a "live broadcast" of these classic tales of space adventure.
Director Jaime Siqueiros stated, "Readers theater is how I got back into theater. It takes the pressure off of memorizing every line and helps you really delve into your character. It also means a shorter rehearsal schedule, which also makes it a great chance for someone who has always wanted to participate in community theater to get involved."
Anyone interested in playing a role in the four "Flash Gordon" radio scripts that will be featured should come to one or the other audition night (Feb. 17 or 18 @ 6:30) or call 515-490-9556 for more information. Siqueiros is also looking for a tech crew who can help recreate the radio sound effects. The performances are scheduled for April 12 & 19 at 6:30pm and April 13 & 20 at 3pm at The Ritz Theater.
