Dost our eyes deceive us, or would you like to join our crew? Whether you'd like to act, direct or volunteer, we're happy you're here. Join us for one production or for several seasons at a time... we welcome contributions of any kind.

ACT
Actors Ensemble of Berkeley welcomes actors of all ages and backgrounds, and just as our shows change each season—so does our need for actors. Auditions are held a few months prior to a show and usually consist of short, prepared monologues and/or cold readings from the script. If you have a résumé and head shot, please bring it; if you don't, no problem—we'd still love to see you!

Next auditions:

Actors Ensemble of Berkeley is holding auditions for Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov's Wonderful Town on Sunday, May 10 at 7 pm and Monday, May 11 at 7:30 pm. Margaret Gudmundsson will direct, with Patricia King as musical director and Kris Bell as choreographer. This musical is being produced in memory of Ralph Miller.

There are three principals—two women and one man—ages 20-30, along with a chorus of six men and six women of all ages.

Please bring an up-tempo song and a ballad with appropriate music in your key. Be prepared to do either or both. Songs from the show are acceptable but not preferred. An accompanist will be provided. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes and be prepared to move. We will read scenes from the play and monologues are not necessary. There won't be appointments — please arrive at the theatre at 7 pm on May 10 or 7:30 pm on May 11.

Please bring a resume with head shot if you have one. No pay, non-AEA. The callback date is to be determined. Wonderful Town will run Fridays and Saturdays July 17 through August 15, with a Thursday performance on August 13. For additional information, please call Margaret Gudmundsson at 510-233-8283.

VOLUNTEER
If you want to help produce, direct, act, create sets, design costumes and props, design or run sound and lights, do make-up, help with lobby operations, publicity, marketing or recruitment... we have a spot for you! (Experience, of course, is welcomed—but certainly not required!) And if you really, really like us (What's not to like?), and you want to keep hanging around—you can become an AE Member which gives you discounted/complimentary tickets, casting preference and a vote in next season's shows.

How to get started? Either us and tell us your interests, or come to our next orientation!
