Calling for Haiku Volunteers!

The Haiku Mistress is returning to CPT for the Gordon Square Fall Fest: TEST FLIGHT on October 17th and we are looking for volunteers!

Training: Friday, October 16^th from 6-7:30pm or Saturday October 17^th from 2:00-3:30pm
Event: Saturday, October 17th

Cleveland Public Theatre is looking to cast 3 plays for a series of readings for our Nord Family Foundation Playwright Fellows. We are looking for a diverse group of all ages and types interested in originating roles in three new plays.

Each play will have two private readings and one fully staged reading open to the public.

When: Saturday, September 26^th from 1:00-4:00pm
Where: CPT’s Campus (6415 Detroit Ave)

Auditions are by appointment only and will be scheduled in one hour increments. Actors will be given sides at the audition for cold readings. They should also come with one prepared contemporary monologue that they may be asked to perform. Please bring 3 copies of your headshot and resume, if available. Actors should be prepared to stay for the entire hour.

1. First Reading: a private, invitation-only cold read with no prior rehearsals that will take place the weekend of October 22^nd – 24^th
