The Plan

A big THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to audition for this year’s festival over the past couple months. We saw a lot of fantastic work.

With over a 25 year history, Brave New Play Rites is an annual festival of new work by writers in UBC’s Creative Writing Program. Each play is matched with a director and actors from the Theatre Program culminating in a week-long festival run. This year the festival runs from April 3 – 7, 2013 at the Dorothy Somerset Studio on UBC’s Point Grey Campus. We are currently seeking actors to round out this year’s company.

Seeking non-union actors for the following roles:

3 male actors – early 20s

1 male actor – to play mid 60s

2 female actors – to play mid 40s to mid 60s

1 female actor – to play 20s – 30s, Asian

To be considered for an audition, please submit a headshot and resume to bravenewplayrites@gmail.com by midnight on Thursday, January 10^th.

Please indicate any scheduling conflicts on the audition days: Saturday January 12^th and Sunday January 13^th. Those selected for an audition will be asked to prepare two contrasting monologues, no more than 2 minutes each. All auditions will take place on the UBC Campus.
