Culture Shock
Get Out There
The year’s not yet half-way over, but Albuquerque’s drama junkies are already planning for 2009. Several theaters, companies and the year-old Albuquerque Theatre Guild are seeking new talent to showcase in ’09, and that means you.
This Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8, the Albuquerque Theatre Guild is holding general auditions. Bring two monologues totaling three minutes to this cattle call for an opportunity to be cast in any number of productions by Albuquerque Theater Guild member companies such as Aux Dog, Albuquerque Little Theatre and The Box Performance Space. Call 344-4542 to reserve an audition time.
VSA North Fourth Art Center will have an open call for adult actors and community members interested in participating in its professional, multi-ability theater company on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 24 and 25. The new company will be based on the model used in the VSA's successful Equilibrium Theater Company and is open to anyone with or without disabilities. Auditions will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. both days at the N4th Art Center (4904 Fourth NW). For info and to schedule an audition time, call Brynne Badeaux at 345-2872.

The Vortex is looking for full-length plays for main-stage production. For details on how to submit, e-mail board@vortexabq.org. The deadline for submissions is July 15.
The Adobe Theater is also seeking proposals from directors for full-length plays or musicals for 2009 production.
