NEW!! MANSFIELD: Un-Common is delighted to announce the first of it's auditions for this year's summer shows. "Romeo and Juliet" will be directed by Un-Common Alumni and Hofstra University Junior, Keith Pinault of Mansfield.  Likely written early in his career, "Romeo and Juliet" is one of Shakespeare's most well-known tragedies. The now-famous plot, concerning two young "star-crossed lovers" torn apart by their feuding families, has become a fixture of popular culture. The Montagues and Capulets have been mortal enemies for as long as anyone can remember, and violence still plagues the divided city they both call home. during an uneasy peace, the unthinkable happens: a Montague, Romeo falls for a Capulet, Juliet, and the two conspire to make a life for themselves, but the culture of hate that surrounds them is impossible to escape. Using the backdrop of modern-day Belfast, a city whose old wounds still keep it deeply divided, this production seeks to bring out the youth and beauty of the play while making it relevant to a contemporary audience. Rehearsals will be held in Foxboro & Mansfield, Ma starting in late May, 2010 and the show will be performed at The Orpheum Theatre, Foxboro, Ma from June 24 - 27, 2010.  Auditions will be held by appointment only on Wednesday March 31st from 6pm iwith callbacks on Thursday April 1st at 6pm.

SALEM: 2010 will be History Alive!'s 19th season of producing original, audience-interactive pieces about New England’s past. SHOW DESCRIPTIONS: CRY INNOCENT The year is 1692. Bridget Bishop has been accused of witchcraft and the audience sits on the Puritan jury. They hear the historical testimonies, cross-examine the witnesses and decide the verdict. The actors respond in character to all comments and questions, revealing much about the Puritan mind. Cry Innocent is the longest continuously-running show north of Boston and has been featured on the Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel, A&E, Nickelodeon, TLC, NPR, BBC, CNN and MTV; Spiritways: A Night in Besieged Salem Village is our contribution to Salem's "Haunted Happenings" festival. Held at night in Pioneer Village, Forest River Park, Spiritways is an unnerving nighttime immersion into the world of the infamous "afflicted girls". Not a haunted house, but not a play with a linear story, it is a recreation of the possible interior world of some of those who ignited and propelled the infamous Salem witchcraft hysteria. A frightening piece with history as it's foundation and education as it's goal—education in a visceral, tangible way.  Tour Guides at Pioneer Village. Built in 1930, Pioneer Village is America's oldest living history museum. Tour guides will interpret the lives of those who settled in Salem in the 1620's and 30's. TRAINING, PAY, SCHEDULING Positions are paid hourly. Rehearsals will be paid with a small stipend. Classes to enhance the rehearsal process may be available for college credit or for audit. Rehearsals and classes will be scheduled between May 20 and June 28. Performances begin in early July and run through mid-November. Roles are doubled and enough actors are hired to make for some flexibility in scheduling. AUDITION TIME / DATE Sunday, March 14th. 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. Please arrive at 1:00 and plan to stay for the whole session. Auditions will consist of ensemble games and script readings.
