Here is a great opportunity to perform in an exciting new medium: radio! Well, okay, radio's not new, but it would be a new experience for many of you. The radio programs of the Golden Age are an historic part of our culture. They were an extension of stage and vaudeville that served as the stepping stone for many actors, singers and production people who went on to major TV and movie careers. This is a chance to experience what it was like!

PMRP is proud to present our next studio project, The Four Chaplains, historical drama telling the true-life tale of the sinking of the SS Dorchester during World War II and the four Chaplains who gave their lives helping to evacuate the ship. For more information about the actual event click here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Chaplains.

The script was written by local playwright Chris Lockheardt and will be directed by Mike Haddad.

Rehearsals for the show will be on Thursday nights and will go for 6 weeks with recording in a studio in early November.

The show will be released online and on CD after post-production work is finished.

There are several types of roles available in the show: from acting at the microphone to crucial behind-the-scenes positions. Read on to find out more and then click here to sign up for an audition slot!

PLEASE NOTE: The Post-Meridian Radio Players is a community theater group and is run by volunteers. Our performers are not paid nor are we able to cast Equity actors.

How to Audition

1. Check out the available roles (available in PDF or DOC format in our audition documents folder)
2. Go to our audition documents folder on Google Drive. There you will find a paper audition form which you should print out, fill out, and bring with you to your audition. When they’re ready, we’ll also post the audition sides (definition) there, which you may want to look at ahead of time.
3. Then, click here to sign up for an audition appointment, fill out the form, and submit it.
4. If you have submitted the form correctly and one of the time slots you requested is still available, you will get email confirming your audition appointment. (This is sent by a human being who has a day job, so don't worry if it doesn't come right away. But if it doesn’t come within a day or so, contact us at auditions@pmrp.org. You can also use that address to contact us if you have trouble submitting the form.)
5. Check back to see when the audition sides and available roles are posted — you’ll want to read the sides over and perhaps practice them before your audition, and you’ll want to put any preferences you have for roles on your form when you come. (We’ll try to remember to put a blurb on the front page when those are ready.)
6. Then, show up for your audition at the scheduled time! Good luck and have fun!

Some Things to Know

• The audition process involves one form that you fill out online (the appointment form) and two paper forms which you should print out, complete, and bring with you to the audition. They’re not interchangeable.
• If you show up for an audition without the paper forms (or the sides), we’ll probably have a few extra copies printed out and you can fill out the forms there. However, it saves time and trouble and makes the process go more smoothly if you can bring completed forms with you. (It also helps demonstrate to the directors how responsible and resourceful you are!)
• Walk-ins are welcome, but people with appointments will take priority. If there are no-shows during a given hour, we will fill those slots with walk-ins. Any remaining walk-ins will be auditioned at 10pm. It helps the directors tremendously if you sign up in advance, though.
