What to Prepare: There will be a cold read (reading from the script). You must also prepare a short monologue from any Spielberg movie that is NOT Jaws. Additionally, anyone wanting to read Quint's monologue will be able to. You may print and fill out audition forms prior to auditions (optional; links below.) If you have any known conflict dates, bring them as well.
The show will run June 12-14. Friday and Saturday shows at 7:30 p.m., Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. Please make sure you are available for ALL shows before committing to audition. Rehearsal schedule is subject to change pending actor and director availability, but should run Sunday - Thursday evenings.
The Show: The historic first summer blockbuster movie is being filmed – but no one working on the film would know it. Dive deep into the tumultuous, murky waters of the making of a major motion picture with dueling co-stars, unpredictable weather and a shark prop whose constant breakdowns are looking like an omen for the future of the movie. In this comedy written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, the short tempers and short circuits of Jaws stars Robert Shaw (father of the play’s co-author Ian), Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider take center stage as they bond, argue, drink, gamble and pray for an end to the film shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever.
