Thanks to everyone who submitted their information for Rogue Tyger, Team Jabberwocky’s audio drama series to premiere in 2009.
We had an overwhelming response from actors, and did have lengthy discussions on some of the roles. We are blessed with a wealth of talent in the DC metro area. Actors for both principal and supporting roles have been contacted.
Check back at this blog for further news about Rogue Tyger, Jabberwocky Audio Theater, and other Team J casting.
Happy Holidays!
UPDATE: Rogue Tyger is now on the Internet airwaves. Check it out at www.roguetyger.com!
We are happy to announce Team J is casting for Rogue Tyger: an ongoing sci-fi action series. The style is in the spirit of Old Time Radio shows such as Gunsmoke or Escape, but with modern sensibilities and production values. It will be recorded in Springfield, VA and begin podcasting in 2009.
We are currently casting for 11 roles (7 men, 4 women). Actors will be paid a small stipend. For those interested in character descriptions, show details, and how to submit your resume for consideration, please visit www.teamjabberwocky.com/casting.html.
As you know from our last entry, Stonehenge 8 will occur next year. In the meantime, many actors may want to check out the Third Annual Actors’ Expo, put on by the folks at the Actors’ Center.
As you may not know, many of us at Team J are members of the Actors’ Center and have attended previous Expos. You’ll find a number of workshops and panels that will help you in auditioning technique as well as learning what casting directors are looking for.

The Actors’ Center is a volunteer membership organization and a nonprofit corporation created by and for actors in the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
After two enormously successful Stonehenges so far this year–including one in a new city, Baltimore–we were hoping to finish the year with a third henge in a new location to replace our favorite DC place: the Warehouse Theater.
Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find a comparable place that’s also affordable, so we are postponing Stonehenge VIII until next year. As always, the event will be announced here on the Blog and on the Team J web site. When we know, you’ll know.
Cheers and have a pleasant rest of 2008!
All 192 actors are being sent an email Thursday with their audition time and other important information.
If you have not received an email by Thursday evening, and do not find it lurking in an overzealous spam filter, shoot us an email at stonehenge*at*teamjabberwocky*dot*com.
Two important points noted in the email:
1) You will need 21 copies of your headshot and resume, properly formatted.
2) If you want us to tape you, you need to sign the video release.

Thanks and see you Sunday!
243 actors registered for Stonehenge VII in Baltimore, Maryland. Registration closed Sunday with spaces awarded by random lottery on Monday. Every actor was sent an email Monday evening as to whether they got a space or not. If you haven’t received the email, feel free to contact us at stonehenge@teamjabberwocky.com.
As many of you know, actor and filmmaker registration for Stonehenge is now open at www.goteamj.com/stonehenge.html. On May 18th, the mass audition for film and video projects will be in Baltimore, MD.
We’re excited to be expanding to a new city and hope you’ll join us. Mass auditions are the precision skydiving of audition forms: it’s very stressful and we at Team J do our best to make sure it’s a positive experience for actors. Many of us _are_ actors, after all.
But…
This past Stonehenge in March, we had some issues with actors not only not showing (the worst in three years), but also not showing up with the right number of headshots and not having the headshots properly formatted. Then there’s the actors who, upon getting randomly assigned a standby slot in the lottery, felt that being on standby was “insulting” and “not worth” their time.
Clearly it’s time for some tough love.
Over 350 actors registered for the last Stonehenge and we have every expectation that over 300 will register for this one. So if you’re one of the lucky few who gets a guaranteed or standby space, you know these things:
*Number of Headshots*
If you’re registering for this Stonehenge, you plan on having AT LEAST 50 copies of your headshot and resume by May 18th if not already. You know that “at least” means “possibly more.” You remember that you will be given the exact number of headshots/resumes to bring in the confirmation email sent a couple days before the event. You understand that if you do not have the correct number of headshots/resumes upon check-in, YOU WILL NOT AUDITION and the resumes you have brought WILL NOT BE DISTRIBUTED.
*Format of Headshots*
Headshots and resumes will be either 8″ x 10″ or 8 1/2″ x 11″ – that’s it. They should either be printed on both sides – or the headshot should be secured to the resume with four neat staples on each of the four corners. You understand that if your headshot/resumes are incorrectly formatted YOU WILL NOT AUDITION and the resumes you have brought WILL NOT BE DISTRIBUTED.
*Standby Spaces*
You know that many folks with Standby spaces get to audition thanks to cancellations. Sometimes you find out with the confirmation email sent a couple days before the event. Sometimes you find out at the event itself. You know that we won’t begrudge you giving up your slot for any reason. We don’t even need to know the reason, we just want to know you won’t be there.
Why do you know all these things? Because you know that there are over 100 actors cursing the cold randomness of not being selected by the lottery. If you’re not going to be prepared, stand aside so one of your fellow actors can audition.
Thanks for reading and we hope to see many of you in Baltimore!
Sincerely,
Team J
P.S. This is just highlighting important policy changes, actors registering should definitely check out the Actor’s FAQ at: www.goteamj.com/actor_info.html
Important note for all the 192 actors attending Saturday’s Stonehenge. You were told to plan for AT LEAST 40 headshots and now the official number is in.
You need 45.
We have the biggest turnout yet from filmmakers: 90 folks from 35 companies are ready to see you, so make sure your headshots are in order.
That means you’ve counted out 45 headshots before you check in and they are printed on both sides of one sheet or the two sheets are securely stapled in each of the four corners.
For more on headshots, visit the FAQ topic.
And don’t forget about the video release (we have a FAQ about it as well). Upon check-in, we will be asked for that if you’re opting-in to be taped.
