I went to the second night of auditions for Shattered Angel on Friday. Once again, that is a play about a local historical murder being presented by the Herkimer County Historical Society in cooperation with Ilion Little Theatre (or is it “in conjunction” or “under the auspices of”? I don’t know the details). As it turns out, we have a slight problem. Not enough actors showed up.
The background was from a different play.
There were enough folks there to read a couple of scenes. Unfortunately, even with doubling parts, I don’t think we got enough to cast the play.
These guys read several time.
One fellow read but thought he could not do the show, because of his work hours. Three weekends is a kind of a large commitment.
Another scene.
I read this scene on Wednesday. I was just filling in, though, because there was nobody present who really qualified for the part I read, that of the young murderer (I didn’t need a spoiler alert for that; this is a murder play but not a murder mystery).
Another angle.
I wanted to include one shot with the director, Stephen Wagner. He’s pretty cool.
So, local readers, are any of you actors? Would you like to be in a play? Go to the Ilion Little Theatre Club Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ilionlittletheatre/. Send a message, write a post, call the theatre. Older male actors are primarily needed. Can anybody help us out?
