NFDC's production of Much Ado About Nothing opens this Friday

Posted April 30, 2007 - 11:36am by Alyssa Jackson

Much Ado About Nothing opens this Friday, and we are almost completely done with costumes, the cast is off book and rocking their scenes, and the set looks gorgeous. I'm not sure how we are in such good shape, considering we made 11 costumes pieces from scratch, including 4 wedding dresses and 6 pieces made from Vintage Vogue patterns (which we have nicknamed "vague"), and Thomas has had to engineer flats from things that wouldn't normally be used in set design. The three of us are exhausted, covered in tiny puncture marks from pins, sunburned, and couldn't be prouder of ourselves and our cast.

If you are in the Atlanta area, or if you know anyone who is, please pimp our show! It's playing this Friday, Saturday and Sunday for our first ever matinee (May 4-6), and next Friday and Saturday (May 11-12), outdoors on the lawn of historic Barrington Hall in Roswell. Admission is free with donations accepted, so you can't pass this deal up!

Show notes

This Monday and Tuesday, North Fulton Drama Club will be holding open auditions for a new production of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Rehearsals will begin in mid-August and the show will run the second and third weekends in October.

Auditions will be held on August 14 (Monday) and 15 (Tuesday) from 6:30pm to around 9:30pm. CHANGE: Callbacks are scheduled for August 16 (Wednesday).

We're looking for the following:

  • 4 Men (age 18 to 25)
  • 6 Men (age 25 to 40+)
  • 2 Women (age 18 to 25)
  • 1 Women (age 25 to 40+)
  • 4 Either (age 16+ to 40+)

Of course, we know better than to underestimate the abilities of actors, so if you can play a character within the age ranges given, then come on out to audition.

Auditions will be held on the property of Barrington Hall in Roswell, Georgia. The Hall is located at 535 Barrington Drive, on the south side of the Historic Roswell Square, near the intersection of GA Hwy 120 and GA Hwy 9. Simply pull into the parking lot of Barrington Hall, then follow the signs. The auditions will be held in the blue barn-esque building around back, not in the Hall itself.

Actors should come prepared to perform cold-readings from provided scripts. Monologues, particularly Shakespearean, are appreciated, but not required. Headshots and theatre resumes are appreciated, but not required. Cookies and candy are appreciated... you get the idea.
