Most productions at The Forst Inn are cast through an open audition call. In some cases, specific roles are filled by direct invitation or prior arrangement.
A Few Things about Performing at The Forst Inn
Actors and technical staff for performances are compensated based on total paid attendance. Thus, compensation varies depending on the size of the production ensemble and total sales. Since we are new, we are still developing a track record with which to estimate stipends. Generally, a production includes a minimum guaranteed stipend of at least $200. Specific estimates are included in the audition notices.
Production ensembles are required to arrive 90 minutes prior to the performance and are asked to assist with minor house setup and house clean up for each performance.
Rehearsals are scheduled to meet the needs of the individual production and are generally held on Sunday-Thursday evenings. Unless otherwise arranged, rehearsals are at the theatre in Tisch Mills.
Forst Inn Underground productions have the same framework as regular main season productions with a few exceptions. They are rehearsed over a longer period and then perform around the margins of other events. Underground productions will tend to rehearse only once or twice per week and then tend to perform on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sunday evenings.
