Casting Hall Productions

The time has come to cast your vote! Follow the link in our bio to vote for your favorite performers and performances from this past season and to be awarded at Banquet this Friday!

You guys loved it so much, we’re doing it again! The sign-up sheet for a ten-minute time slot is hanging in the upstairs lobby of Donald Savage; be sure to grab your spot soon! We had plenty of time for extra performers this past run, so even if you’re unable to snag a spot, prepare something anyway and you might get to perform it! Since it is the first Tuesday of the month, it is also a GM! We’ll open the ballots for the Casting Hall Awards at this event, so be sure to come and cast your vote!

Casting Hall is excited to introduce an exciting new regular event: The Dream Role series. Beginning next Tuesday, April 28th during Bengal Pause, performers can sign up for a 10-minute slot* to perform any monologue, scene, or song of their choosing. It is up to performers to rehearse/practice these pieces on their own time and come prepared. People performing songs are expected to provide their own tracks either by flash drive or youtube link.

A sign-up sheet will be posted on the door of the Casting Hall office tomorrow, slots are extremely limited, so it is first-come, first-serve. If we are able to get through all scheduled performances in a timely manner, we may open the floor for one or two more performers, so even if you aren’t able to snag a spot for this first round, come prepared to support your fellow actors and you may get a chance perform! We will be hosting this event one more time before the end of the semester, and intend to do so regularly in the upcoming Fall semester, so stay tuned!

*The 10 minute slot includes any time taken to set up rehearsal blocks as set pieces, queueing up of music tracks, etc. as well as the actual performance time.

Our Playreading Series continues this Thursday with “Miss Julie: Freedom Summer” by Stephen Sachs, directed by Jenn Toohey. This play is an updated reimagining of the classic play “Miss Julie” by August Strindberg. Sachs recontextualizes the original play’s themes of power, class, and gender dynamics to introduce themes of race and civil rights set against the backdrop of Mississippi in the 1960s. Join us in the Donald Savage Flexible Theatre from 12:15-1:30 this Thursday (4/23) to see it!
