General Information
Most productions at The Forst Inn are cast through an open audition call. In some cases, specific roles are filled by direct invitation or prior arrangement.
A Few Things about Performing at The Forst Inn
Actors and technical staff for performances are compensated based on total paid attendance. Thus, compensation varies depending on the size of the production ensemble and expected attendance.
Productions at the Forst feature fewer rehearsals and longer runs. You may find that this requires more work of preparing for rehearsals (line memorization and character work) outside of the rehearsal process than you may have experienced in longer rehearsal processes. To facilitate this, many productions avoid consecutive rehearsals within a given week. Those days when you are not in rehearsal are yours to do your own preparation. Thanks!
Production ensembles are required to arrive 90 minutes prior to the performance and are asked to assist with minor house setup and house clean up for each performance.
Rehearsals are scheduled to meet the needs of the individual production and are generally held on Sunday-Thursday evenings. Unless otherwise arranged, rehearsals are at the theatre in Tisch Mills.
