NWCT Main Stage Production Information CALLBACKS: To be held in JUNE for ALL shows. Check the Website or Audition Hotline at 503-222-2190 x 28 for updates. Following Season Auditions, all actors are notified by U.S. mail if they will be called back for specific productions/ programs. Later, actors called back for a specific production will be contacted by email with callback details. Scripts may or may not be available to read prior to the callback. During or following the callbacks, every actor will be notified whether or not they will be offered a role. Casting: NWCT casts age-appropriately. Ages 10+ The majority of youth performers who are cast in a main stage production are over the age of 14. Rehearsals: Generally Sunday afternoon/evening and Monday-Thursday afternoon/evening; begin approximately 6 weeks prior to opening. Each show will have specific needs that may require additional rehearsal time. A detailed rehearsal schedule is distributed at callbacks. Conflicts: Conflicts will be considered in casting. Flexibility of scheduling is important when committing to a show. Be sure to communicate your conflicts when you are offered a role. Conflicts that arise after a rehearsal schedule has been finalized are significantly more difficult, and sometimes impossible, to accommodate, and may result in re-casting a role. Kindly check your conflicts before attending the callback. Tech Week: Two weeks prior to opening, technical and dress rehearsals may run 4 - 5 hours nightly and will include a long Saturday/Sunday commitment. Performances: The 2015-16 Performance Schedule is included in this packet. School matinees occur on weekdays during each show. If you accept a role, NWCT will contact your school to formally request excused absences for the time missed, but you are ultimately responsible for securing approved absences with your school. Please verify that you will be able to miss school time before you attend the callbacks. Performers are expected to attend all rehearsals and performances. Stipend: Most roles are paid a stipend for their work in a production following the closing night performance. Classes: Individual productions may require Skills Classes for certain roles, for example stage combat or dance. In these instances class requirements including dates, times and tuition information will be made available with Callback details. Tuition may be required for these classes. Questions or Comments Contact Sarah Jane Hardy, Artistic Director or Wendy Reznicsek, Production Manager at 503-222-2190.
