TTG - Auditions for "Hollywood Arms" continue!

Theatre To Go, Inc. brings this "funny and moving story of three generations of women living on welfare in a one-room apartment, one block north of Hollywood Boulevard."

Theatre To Go, Inc. (TTG) announces "Last Call" auditions for their winter production Hollywood Arms by Carrie Hamilton and Carol Burnett. To facilitate those who may have missed the first week's auditions due to the holidays and work schedules, open auditions continue Wednesday, December 11, 8:00-9:30pm. We are still looking for actors for the four younger roles. Directed by the troupe's founding president and artistic director, Alex Lucchesi is supported by Kate Beattie (assistant director) and Karen Hoff (stage manager).

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script (sides/scripts provided for the sessions), and we welcome your resumes/headshots, as available (though audition forms will suffice and photos will be taken of each applicant).  All those interested in the roles of Older or Younger Helen, Alice and Malcolm should prepare a short, upbeat song & dance/movement routine - which MUST be performed without accompaniment - and be prepared to do some improvisation at auditions.

"Last Call" for the following CHARACTERS: Older Helen 18-ish yrs old, Young Helen 5-10 yrs old, Alice 10-12 yrs old, Malcolm 8-10 yrs old
