AUDITIONS FOR: CALENDAR GIRLS at NEW BERN CIVIC THEATRE (Oct 16 & 19)Directed by: Michael Tahaney
‘Calendar Girls’ is the stage adaptation of the 2003 Miramax film based on a true story. When Annie’s husband dies of leukaemia, she her best friend Chris resolve to wring some good from their sadness. By convincing their Yorkshire Women’s Institute to pose nude for an “alternative” calendar, what begins as a plan to raise
a bit of money for a small-town hospital charity drive turns into a self-empowering journey that grows into an international media sensation. It’s a dramatic-comedy sure to raise eyebrows, laughter and cheers at every performance.

Oct 16 from 5:30PM-8:00PM

HOW TO PREPARE:
-Be sure to read through the character descriptions
-Select a 30-60 second comedic OR dramatic monologue for the character you feel best suits you
-Sign up for an audition time slot via the link below
-Attempt the Yorkshire accent if you know how to do this. If not, forget it. Sharing your sense of the character is more important than the accent.
VIDEO AUDITION OPTION:
If the live audition dates do not suit your schedule, you may send a 60-second video audition. While not ideal (in person is always best) we will review all video auditions received by Oct 19 at 2:00PM. Send video to [email protected]. Most short videos will send as an attachment. If you have trouble with the attachment email directly to the same address and we’ll work out a drop box solution as needed. Rehearsals will be scheduled around the holiday breaks, but this show will require a very committed cast who must be flexible and willing to memorize lines
quickly and early in the rehearsal process. Rehearsals will be in early November and will intensify in the month of January 2025. Show opens Jan 31 and closes Feb 9, 2025.
