Racing through the season, I guess we want to leave this unseasonablereasonable cold snap behind and get to spring - and warmer weather. We have some strong candidates opening this weekend; a warhorse muscial, a play about man-horse love gone wrong, and a revival of a rarely produced Harold Pintner one-act. Oh, and there are a couple of interesting play readings, if you're more adventurous and, um, cheap.
In other news, Broadway Across America just announced their 2010-2011 season at the Broward Center; you can read about it in the Herald. Good stuff!

Does anyone know anything about a non-union production of HAIR that is going to be onstage at the Caldwell in June?
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to say that it's NOT true, but it seems unlikely given that the Caldwell is an Equity house. Also since the show is still running on Broadway and National Tour is coming through The Broward Center next season, I'm thinking the rights aren't available.
ReplyDeleteCould I ask where you heard this?

The following posting appeared on Craigslist today:
ReplyDelete"Entr'acte Theatrix" is announcing upcoming auditions for its production of HAIR this summer, to be presented in June at the Caldwell Theatre in Boca. We're looking for young adults aged 18-25+, all ethnicities, male & female, and for all roles. Audtions will be held March 20 & March 27 from 3-6pm in the Matthews Auditorium at the Palm Beach Day Academy (241 Seaview Ave., Palm Beach, FL 33480). Please bring sheet music or a CD, and be prepared to sing, move, and read from the script. Prepared monologues are also welcomed. If you cannot attend either of the two audtion dates, you may submit headshots and audition recordings via email or "snail mail." Our mailing address is 350 S. County Rd., Ste. 100-102, Palm Beach, FL 33480. For more info, call 561-366-9033. or check out HAIR Auditions on facebook. (This production is non-equity.)
Just got word back from the Caldwell - these folks have rented space from the Maltz in the past and have rented from Caldwell this year - so it looks like it's more than an excuse to get people in the door and ask to see them nude (which was my fear.)
ReplyDeleteI'm still surprised they could get the rights, but I've seen other groups across the country are performing it as well, so "let the sunshine in."
