WE WILL NOT BE IN HORIZON THEATRE, simply in the same building they are in, in a room directly across from Horizon’s office, which you’ll find as soon as you get to the top of the stairs. Prepare two contrasting contemporary monologues (whichever contrast you prefer) not running more than 4 minutes in total length.

The 2012 Festival will run from July 6 – August 5 at Actor’s Express, three World Premiere shows running in rotating repertory (with separate casts). All roles will be paid with a stipend. The three shows are EVELYN IN PURGATORY by Topher Payne, BAT-HAMLET by Jordan Pulliam, and THE LOCAL, a collaborative theatre project being developed by Ellen McQueen. Scripts for EVELYN and BAT-HAMLET can be viewed at http://www.essentialtheatre.com/2012_Scripts.htm. We will be looking for actors and actresses in a wide range of ages.
