Bios and Headshots

CAST AND CREW:
Bios and head shots will be due no later than WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14. Send them to me at connortanderson@gmail.com as a ".doc" or ".rtf" and the image should be a PDF or a PNG.

BIOS:
This is a short (roughly 50 word) excerpt written in the third person. It should focus on past theatrical experience. Keep it PROFESSIONAL. They will be edited prior to being put together in a slide show in the lobby prior to each show.


An example of how mine might end up:

"Connor is Stage Managing his sixth play at Lincoln. This is his twelfth major production (tenth at Lincoln). Previous credits include Stage Managing Lincoln’s Productions of "Switch" (2010), "12 Angry Jurors" (2009), "Annie" (2009), and "Blitz" (2008). He also ran sound for Lincoln’s Productions of "High School Musical" (2007), "Love/Song" (2008), and "Annie" (2009); and for the Tin Pan Alley Theatre Company’s productions of "Pippin" (2008), and "Annie Warbucks" (2008). Connor also designed lights and sound for West Sylvan’s "Mr. A’s Amazing Maze Plays" (2009), as well as designing and running sound for their production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" (2010). Connor will be working on Sojurn's production of "On The Table" this summer as a stage mamagement /  lighting design intern."


That is actually way longer than it should be, but you get the idea.


HEADSHOTS:
This should be a decent quality photograph of you. It should not have other people and should be of mostly your face. They will be cropped as I see fit and converted into a grey scale. KEEP IT PROFESSIONAL.

Questions? Let me know.

Some More House Keeping...

I hope you all got my email. Now, I few things I forgot to mention, and by "a few", I mean one:

If you are late arriving or are leaving early, check in with me when you arrive or are leaving (I expect only excused late arrivals or early departures). That was an awkward sentence. Anyway, I will be taking roll every day at the top of rehearsal, so I will need you to come to me (or one of my assistants if I am not present) so I can mark you down.

Call Backs for Thursday


We need to see the following people at 3:30 for call-backs.  Please meet in the auditorium and we will go from there.  If you are not called back, this does not mean you will not be in the cast—only that we’ve seen/heard what we need for now.  Please also check the auditorium door Friday at break in the event we have additional call-backs. 

Also, please check the door to make sure we have received your completed audition packet.  If we do not have your audition sheet, contract, and green sheet we may not be able to cast you in the show.  If you are not doing well in one or more classes, this does not mean you will not be cast in the play.  What it does mean is that you and I will need to talk about a plan of assistance in bringing up those grades for you to participate in the production.  Thank you all for your time and talent.
