[SDS] Production Board Applications and Updates from Dave Zimmerman

[Elizabeth Lamb]

Welcome Back to Campus!


I know many of you have already returned, others will be returning within
the next week and I am happy to see you all again as our Fall Production
process begins.  As a reminder we will be producing Murdered to Death by
Peter Gordon.  *The auditions will be both September 6th and 7th between
9:00 and 11:00PM in the DeBaun Auditorium*.  Scheduling will be available
shortly and walk-in's also welcomed.

Additionally, if you would like to read the play before auditions I will be
hosting Open Office Hours Friday from 2:00 to 4:00PM in Jacobus 203.

If you are interested in the more technical side of theater I am also
sending this email to let you know that you have not missed your chance. * The
deadline for Production Board Applications will be extended until after
auditions and casting has been completed.*  The Production Board is made up
of a Lighting Designer, Master Electrician, Sound Designer, Set Designer,
Master Artisan, Master Carpenter, Costume and Make-Up Designer, Properties
Manager, and House Manager.  Applications for all positions are welcomed.
Also congratulations are in order for Lauren Harpst,  Mia Manzella, and
David Geiss who are filling the positions of Production Manager, Assistant
Director, and Stage Manager, respectively.


Below please also find two announcements from Dave Zimmerman about other
performance opportunities of the Stevens Campus.


Best,
Liz

Theta Alpha Phi, in conjunction with DeBaun Center for Performing Arts,
> presents TOM FOOLERY on October 12 and 13 at 8pm.
>
> Tom Foolery is a look into the witty, wicked, offbeat and thoroughly
> twisted world of famed satirical songwriter Tom Lehrer. In concerts,
> television appearances and a series of now-classic recordings, the
> Harvard-educated math professor delighted millions of fans during the
> 1950's and 60's with his dry, cynical but good-humored attacks on the
> A-bomb, racism, pollution, pornography, the military, the boy scouts and,
> of course, mathematics. Nothing is sacred in this hysterical revue
> featuring such Lehrer favorites as “Poisoning Pigeons In The Park,” “When
> You Are Old And Grey,” “The Masochism Tango,” “The Old Dope Peddler,” “The
> Vatican Rag” and an unforgettable Gilbert and Sullivan-esque recitation of
> the table of elements, linked together with his own inimitable concert
> patter.
>
> For a sample of the music in the show, check out my personal space:
> http://personal.stevens.edu/~dzimmerm/tomfoolery/
>
> All Stevens students/alumni/staff are welcome to audition for the show,
> with rehearsals being held on weekends until tech week. Tom Foolery will be
> directed by David Zimmerman, with musical direction by Joe Manfredonia and
> choreography by Kathy Imperial.
>
>
> ONE audition will be held on TUESDAY, August 28 from 7-8pm at DeBaun
> Auditorium. Please prepare 32 bars of an uptempo song (preferably musical
> theater) and bring sheet music. If you are unable to attend and still
> interested, email david.zimmerman at stevens.edu to schedule an alternate
> date/time. Any questions? Email david.zimmerman at stevens.edu
