Minimal rehearsal commitment
—
Join Hope Rising in a benefit staged reading for Hope’s Door, Collin County’s Domestic Violence Shelter. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this will be our largest fundraiser for the month. Acting experience is not necessary, and the project commitment is minimal.
A stage reading is a form of theatre without sets or full costumes. The actors, who read from scripts, may be seated, stand in fixed positions, or incorporate minimal stage movement.
Proving that a great show is always in fashion, Love, Loss, and What I Wore has become an international hit. With its compulsively entertaining subject matter, this intimate collection of stories by Nora and Delia Ephron celebrated an accomplished two-and-a-half year run in New York’s Westside Theatre. Love, Loss, and What I Wore is based on the best-seller by Ilene Beckerman as well as the recollections of the Ephrons’ friends. The show uses clothing and accessories and the memories they trigger to tell funny and often poignant stories that all women can relate to, creating one of the most enduring theatergoing experiences domestically and overseas.
Bring yourself and a friend; this is a group audition! Even if you do not have theater experience we encourage all women to audition. We will provide a choice of pieces for you to read. Memorization is not required, previous experience is not required.
Our beneficiary, Hope’s Door has offered safety, shelter, healing, and hope to individuals and families affected by domestic violence since 1986. Their services are designed to help everyone in a family who is affected – from victim to abuser. All services to survivors are free of charge and strictly confidential.
