5-Star Theatricals

MATILDA Update (5-Star Theatricals): I've been told that, unless the fires pick up again, Hillcrest will be OPEN on Sunday, so we're on for auditions as scheduled.

If you had an appointment today/Saturday, or were going to spontaneously show up, PLEASE READ THE NEXT PART:

Those coming to the DANCE CALL: We're going to schedule a replacement dance call on either Tuesday or Wednesday mid-afternoon in Thousand Oaks, at Hillcrest. We're currently confirming staff, and I should have a definitive answer of which day by Sunday. IF YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT DO TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, try to come to tomorrow/Sunday's Dance Call, 6PM at Hillcrest. Please do not make this your first choice, make it your last resort: If everyone from today's call showed up with everyone from tomorrow's call, the room would be a tight fit!! But we want to see you somehow. Now, if you cannot attend Sunday night, Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday afternoon, email the audition address (not this one, mine, please!) - auditions@5startheatricals.com, and let's get you on a list so that we will eventually give you full consideration.

Those who had a SINGING APPOINTMENT TODAY: You have a few options: We are adding the following:

Monday, November 12th - 6PM at Madilyn Clark Studios. But we only have the room until 7PM (possibly 8PM if we're lucky), so if a huge amount of you show up, we'll lose the room and won't be able to see you (or you'll be singing for us in the parking lot at Madilyn Clark Studios!). So please consider the other options:

Wednesday, November 14th, 5:30PM-9:00PM in Thousand Oaks (at Hillcrest) - this is a definite alternative for you. You can come anytime during this time period. We will stay that evening until EVERYONE who wants to be seen has been seen.

Tuesday 11/13 or Wednesday 11/14 - we will add a mid-afternoon time slot to one of these two days (whichever we don't do the dance call). You'll have that option, too - I just don't know which day yet.

Remember that, with each of these added singing calls, we don't have the ability to create new signup appointments, so bring your patience and something to entertain you. We will keep things moving and hopefully not waste your time.

As a reminder, here's the address for the Hillcrest Center for the Arts: 403 W. Hillcrest, Thousand Oaks, 91360.

I will send an update either tomorrow about the times that are up in the air, but I wanted you to know that we're definitely ON for Sunday, and our plans for the rest of the auditions. Thank you for your patience.
