What they are looking for
The Alchemy Theatre is staging A Man of No Importance, the Flaherty, Ahrens and McNally musical set in 1964 Dublin about Alfie Byrne, a closeted bus conductor who mounts Oscar Wilde's Salome in his church hall. Michael Cooper directs, and the show plays in the round at the Whisenhunt at Zach Theater. It is paid and non-Equity, casting Austin area talent. Email a headshot, resume and a self-tape with a slate, a short line reading in a general Irish accent and 32 bars of a song. Callbacks are January 9 and 10, rehearsals start April 12 and performances run May 28 to June 13, 2027. Submissions close December 18. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
The accent matters from the very first step, so practice the line they give until it sounds natural and record the self-tape in the exact order they ask for. For the song, pick something warm with a touch of humor, since the show is tender more than dramatic. Because it plays in the round, keep movement simple and let your eyes do the work. Before you send it, check your conflicts from April through June, since they ask for them once you are cast.
