Auditions for Falling Gnome Productions' 2009 Philly Fringe Production

Half Way Home is a Philly Fringe 2009 piece that will be held at
Studio 5 at the Walnut Street Theatre nightly during the week of
September 15th through 20th.
Auditions for Half Way Home will be held on July 9th, beginning at 5pm
and running until 9pm. The auditions will be held in the basement of
University Crossings, which is located at 32nd and Market, behind the
Firestone Tire. The entrance you should use is located at the back of
the building, right across from Caneris Hall on Drexel University’s
campus. The room number is 030, the small screening room. You will
have to wait in the basement lobby for someone to let you into the
audition room. If you need help, call 215.820.6362.
No monologue needed - we'll have a cold reading prepared for you.
Although auditions are open and anyone is free to come, it would be
helpful if you email Colleen at colleen.r.coffey@gmail.com in advance,
so that we have an idea of how many people will be attending the
audition.
The following at the performance dates and times.
