“PFT” auditions are upcoming. We need actors and actresses ranging from young- to mature-adult ages, for major and supporting speaking roles as well as “extra” roles with no dialogue.

Previous acting experience is helpful but not required. However, please keep these “caveats” in mind.

1. This will be an ongoing series, so be prepared to spend future Wed. nights on rehearsal and Thurs. nights on live performances.

2. Be ready for “anything goes”-type acting — no nudity, but the plays’ content ranges from mild double-entendres to explicit language and situations.

3. This is being offered as “community theater,” a kind euphemism for “no salary.” Should the series “take off,” we might be able to pay some box-office take as recompense, but even that will be slim once divided among several actors. However, know that you won’t be toiling anonymously — several local publications have tentatively committed to upcoming pieces about the revived Boomtown. In any case, remember, we’re doing it for the love of the acting and because we’re jonesing for attention!

Auditions will be held on Wed., Jan. 16 and 23, at 7 p.m. at the 9th & Main Espresso Cafe, 1850 N. Main St. in downtown Springfield. You will audition from our scripts, but if you find it helpful, you may also bring a short piece of your own from which to read. Be prepared to give your contact phone number and E-mail address, as well as a head-shot photo if you have one.
