SONIA FLEW

AUDITION INFORMATION

Important Details

• Auditions: Sunday, March 2, 2025 (1 - 5pm), & Monday, March 3, 2025 (6:30 - 9:30pm), at the Cary Arts Center (101 Dry Avenue)

• Call backs: Wednesday, March 5, 2025 (6:30 - 9:30pm), at the Cary Arts Center.

• Actors 15+ are welcome to audition.

• Monologue: Please prepare a monologue to share with us during your audition. Memorization is welcome, but not required. You may also be asked to read sides. 

• A note on dialect: As Melinda Lopez writes, “Please assume that the characters are speaking their native tongue, and through the magic of theatre we can understand them. Therefore – no accents.” To clarify, all actors are welcome to audition regardless of whether or not you have an accent in English. Actors do not need to add accents to how they typically speak. 

• A note on doubling: Some characters will likely be doubled in this show (see those marked with *). This will likely result in a cast of 8-10 rather than 12 actors. 

• A note on age, race, gender: Actors will be evaluated given an expansive view of their characters' identities –if you are on the fence, go for it. You don’t need to have the exact age, race, and gender identity of your character. Sonia Flew’s playwright Melinda Lopez is Latina, Cuban American–we’d love to celebrate Latin collaborators in this production. Likewise, the play touches on Jewish culture and immigration, and we’d love to celebrate with collaborators who resonate with those themes. Finally, we are a community theatre and want everyone to come and audition, especially those who may be underrepresented in theatre like elders, young people, people of color, non-binary folks, ESL. Come one, come all!
