CALL FOR AUDITIONS FEST, the oldest English-language theatre group in the Rhein-Main area, is holding auditions for its autumn production AUDIENCE WITH MURDER by Roger Leach & Colin Wakefield Director: Vera Mark Assistant Director: Patrick O'Sullivan Performances: 15, 16, 17 and 21, 22, 23 October at the Internationales Theater Frankfurt, Hanauer Landstr. 5-7 (Zoopassage), 60314 Frankfurt. The Play "Audience with Murder" is a contemporary thriller and a play within a play. Characters interact on various levels in a complex structure that is revealed only at the very end. The play presents challenging but juicy parts for 2 M (aged around 50 and 25) and 2 F (aged around 45 and 25). Each actor will have to portray several different characters throughout the play. Rehearsals The cast will receive their scripts in July and are expected to be very familiar with their lines by the time rehearsals start in early August. We will initially rehearse twice weekly during the week and add a few weekend rehearsals as of late September. Rehearsals will take place at central, easily accessible locations in Frankfurt. Audition dates & venue: Thursday 24 June, 19:00-22:00, Saalbau Gutleut, Rottweiler Str. 32, 60326 Frankfurt Saturday 26 June, 14:00-17:00, Saalbau Ronneburg, Gelnhäuser Str. 2, 60435 Frankfurt Possible call backs will be held on Tuesday 29 June at a venue to be announced at the auditions. If you would like to audition but cannot make either of these two dates, please get in touch with the director via email (see below). If at all possible, we will arrange for alternative dates but please understand that it may be important to see actors read together in order to determine the best cast. No appointments are needed and NO parts are paid or pre-cast. If you would like to read the script before auditioning, please mail the director for a pdf copy. Of course, scripts will be provided at the auditions - you do not need to print out and bring your copy! Any further questions? Please email me . I look forward to seeing you at the auditions!	CREW NEEDED! EVERY PRODUCTION NEEDS MORE THAN ACTORS! We are always looking for volunteers, especially in the following areas: ASSISTANT DIRECTOR run rehearsals in directors absence or work with groups STAGE MANAGEMENT run the show during performances; ensure cast & crew have evrything they need to run the the show smoothly (together with the Production Managagement Team) PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT TEAM Overseeing production budget, ensuring rights are obtained, arranging rehearsal space, arranging production meetings and coordinating the team. The amount of work that must be done is inversely proportional to the number of people you can get to help!

Anyone who has the time and energy to take on more than one of these tasks is of course welcome to do so, however, the more folks get involved, the less work for any one person.
