Auditions for Circle Mirror Transformation

Auditions for Circle Mirror Transformation Site Unseen Theatre Company and directors Jeff and Andrea Cronin are seeking an ensemble of actors to perform a site‑specific production of Annie Baker’s Circle Mirror Transformation at the Phoenixville Rec Center. What is this play about? Five wayward souls in a small‑town in Vermont gather for a community acting class. Over six weeks, they engage in intimate, sometimes awkward theater games that slowly reveal their vulnerabilities, secrets, and emotional lives, transforming their relationships and providing quiet, profound healing. Characters MARTY – 55, female‑presenting. A good (yet in‑over‑her‑head) community rec‑center teacher trying to bring art to her small town one person at a time. Marty’s husband is only in this class because his wife is running it; their relationship started with sparks but their differences have been putting a wedge between them over the years. He is struggling through a divorce and still trying to discover who he is as a single man, hoping to find it at the rec‑center drama class and very eagerly trying to form new connections. THERESA – 35, female‑presenting. She tried really hard to make it as an actor in New York, never quite finding her way in. She’s recently given up on that dream and settled into this new small town looking for something else. Needs to be proficient with a hula hoop. LAUREN – 16, female‑presenting. A moody teen hoping to become a performer who enrolled in this class to start her serious acting training, without her parents’ knowledge. (If a minor is cast as Lauren, all members of the cast and crew will be required to obtain the necessary background checks. By auditioning for the show, you will agree to obtain these clearances.) Performances Nov. 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21 – six shows. Friday evenings. Saturday matinees. Rehearsals Begin in August, approximately three times a week. Because of the nature of the script, expect to be called to most (if not all) rehearsals. Auditions By appointment on Sunday, July 26th and Monday, July 27th, 6:30 PM–9:30 PM. Location: Springer Studio Youth Theater, 751 Pike Springs Rd, Phoenixville, PA 19460. How to Apply Prepare: A monologue of your choice (dramatic or comedic). You should be familiar with it, but you do not need to be off‑book. A story about a "meet‑cute" from your life. How did you meet a significant other? Where did you meet your best friend? Have you had a great interaction with a stranger? Share one of your favorite personal interactions. Completed audition form. Callbacks will be Wednesday, July 29th by invitation only.
