The Post-Meridian Radio Players

We have two different audition opportunities open now on our Auditions page!

Our spring show will be “Plan 9 from Outer Space,” and “Plan 8 from the Outer Ether” — an adaptation of the infamous Ed Wood film...along with an original prequel fiasco! For this show we’re seeking voice actors, live Foley sound-effects artists, and several behind-the-scenes positions.

We’re also seeking voice actors and some additional positions for PMRP Presents’ next studio recording project, “The Renegotiation”, in which a talented blacksmith faces the consequences of a deal with the Devil.

Auditions slots for the spring show will be Monday, February 10th and Tuesday, February 11th (with possible callbacks on Thursday, February 13th). Audition slots for the studio recording will be on Tuesday, February 11th (overlapping with the auditions for the spring show). Rehearsals and performances/recordings will be scheduled so as not to conflict, so you can audition for both, but you’d need to sign up for a separate audition slot for each — and make sure your auditions for each aren’t at the same time!

Nothing can properly convey the madcap holiday delight of seeing Santa Claus Conquers the Martians live, but if you want some idea what to expect, we've got a preview video for you! Santa Claus Conquers the Martians returns December 6th and 7th for three performances only! See the event page for more information about the show, or our Tickets page to buy tickets in advance, or make seat reservations and pay at the door.

Update: We’ve uploaded new Hargo sides. Now, with more Hargo! We’ll have extra copies of the Hargo sides printed out at auditions, but you’ll probably want to look over the updated selections if you get a chance.

Come try out for the 3rd Annual Post-Meridian Radio Players production of Santa Claus Conquers The Martians! While most of last year's cast are reprising their roles, we find ourselves with a couple of roles to fill, so if you want to help us bring some holiday cheer to the children of Somerville and Mars, head over to our Auditions page to find out what roles are available, learn how to audition, and check out the sides and then sign up for an audition slot! Auditions are on September 16 (let us know if you want to audition but can’t make that date!) and there will be three performances on December 6 and 7.

The Post-Meridian Radio Players will be reprising our original adaptation of “The Cask of Amontillado” at the Somerville Media Center’s pop-up performance space VOX POP in Assembly Row at 431 Artisan Way, Assembly Square, Somerville. The show is this Friday only at 7pm, with a Q-and-A session after the performance, and it's free, although RSVPs on EventBrite are appreciated.

This performance will be broadcast live on Somerville Cable Access TV, and streamed live on SCATV and on Facebook! (And eventually there’ll be video posted to YouTube, too!)

We've just added descriptions of the segments and available roles and audition sides to our Audition Documents folder for Tomes of Terror: Beyond Grimm, our Halloween show!

As previously announced, audition signups are now open for Tomes of Terror: Beyond Grimm, our Halloween show, which will have six performances from October 25–November 2. We've now got audition forms posted for you to fill out and bring with you to your audition slot. (Still to come: audition sides.) See our Auditions page to learn how to sign up for an audition slot and what to expect from auditions, and if you've already signed up for an audition slot, you can get the availability calendar and audition form to print out from our Audition Documents folder on Google Drive.

And of course, whether you want to audition or just come see the show, you can learn more about the performance itself on its event page. Also, congratulations to Tegan Kehoe, J. Deschene, Laura Corliss, and Joye Thaller, who have been chosen to direct the four segments.

As previously mentioned, audition signups are open for our Halloween show, Tomes of Terror: Beyond Grimm. Find out how to audition on our auditions page, and/or learn more about the show itself on its own page.

Also, we’re looking for directors for two of the segments! The deadline to apply to direct is this Friday, August 2! Read our call for directors to learn how to apply. Audio drama experience of some kind is a plus, but first-time directors are encouraged to apply.

Audition signups are now open for our summer mystery show, "Mrs. Hudson Presents" and to fill the role of Ms. Spock in a reprise of our gender-swapped adaptation of the original-series Star Trek episode "The Enterprise Incident". (You can always learn about any auditions we're scheduling on our Auditions page.) Update: Audition sides are available for both shows. See their respective audition pages for links. We’ve fixed the link for the Enterprise Incident sides.
