"Lend Me An Ear!"

 

Auditions for the 4th Annual "Lend Me An Ear!" are coming up on Monday, October 15, starting at 4:30pm at the AFTRA/SAG office in Buckhead, GA. The address is 455 E. Paces Ferry Road NE, Suite 334, Atlanta GA, 30305. We plan to cut off the auditions at 8:00pm. To set up a time, please contact my co-producer Mark Gray mvg@mindspring.com. If for some reason you have a conflict with that evening, please let Mark know and we will see about accommodating you at another time.

Here is some basic information you will need to know:

The 4th Annual “Lend Me An Ear!” at the New American Shakespeare Tavern on Monday, November 12, 2007, at 7:30pm.

Every fall, the three professional acting unions (AFTRA, SAG, and Equity) gather together for a night of Old Time Radio recreations, complete with live SFX. This year’s theme is “OTR: Southern and Western Style.”  The evening will include the perennial favorite "Gunsmoke" as well as the early homespun comedy of "Lum ‘n’ Abner" at the Jot-‘em-Down Store. In The "Phil Harris/Alice Faye Show," Phil becomes an honorary Confederate colonel.” "Superman" will be pitted against “The Clan of the Fiery Cross.” And the mystery program "The Whistler" offers the tale of “The Rawhide Coffin.”

Admission is $15 at the door (no advance ticket sales) and all proceeds go to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Seating is on a first come, first served basis. Doors open at 6:15pm and authentic English fare and beverages are available. 

The Shakespeare Tavern is located at 499 Peachtree St. in Atlanta. Click here for directions>>

Come join in the laughter, drama, and suspense as we celebrate America’s Golden Age of Radio with some of Atlanta’s finest actors and voice talents!

Come prepared with copies of the pieces you wish to use for the characters you wish to try out for. If you don't have a particular role in mind, we will have you read certain sides that will be available at the union office.

Here's when we would like you to be available, although we may be able to work around actors' schedules. Please let us know of any conflicts:

  • 1st read-thru: Monday, October 29, starting at 6:30pm or 7:00pm until whenever at the AFTRA office.
  • Rehearsal on stage at the Shakespeare Tavern: Monday, November 5, starting in the early afternoon (I hope.) The Suzi Awards are that evening, beginning at 8:00pm at the Fox Theatre, so we'll need to finish by 6:30pm or so to let folks go who want to attend.  Perhaps we can continue rehearsing with whoever is left.
  • Final rehearsal and show: Monday, November 12, starting around 11:30am (load-in at around 10-10:30am) at the Tavern. Doors open to the public at 6:15pm and we'll eat around 5:45pm like last year (I hope—I'll check with the kitchen staff and see about getting the actors' discount again). The show commences at 7:30pm. We should be done by 10pm.

We hope to see you at the auditions!
