Stonehenge Auditions are a series of mass auditons designed to connect actors with producers, not unlike Stonehenge Casting.

Actors: Reminders for this Saturday’s Stonehenge

April 1, 2007 /

Note: All of this is covered on some level in the Actor FAQ, which is on the website.

This does not replace the second confirmation email you will receive at the end of this week.

#1: Let us Know if you Won’t Show.

We’re looking forward to seeing you all this Saturday, however, statistically speaking, we won’t.

Many of you won’t show up.

We understand there are numerous reasons why you may not be able to make it to the audition this Saturday and that’s fine. In fact, we hope it’s for some great reason like you’ve got a paid gig somewhere. The key thing is, whether you have a guaranteed space or a standby space, let us know if you won’t show. A quick email to stonehenge@teamjabberwocky.com and you make another actor’s day.

Remember, if you have a guaranteed space, do not show up and DO NOT CANCEL, you will be on our mud list. That means you don’t
get to audition at any Stonehenge for at least the next three years. If you
have a standby space, we still want to know if you have to cancel. We will make a note of it if you do not show and don’t let us know. Over 500 actors tried to sign up for 192 spaces. If you’re not going to use your space, let us know.

#2: It’s okay to be late

There’s any number of good reasons why you might be late. The Metro may be swamped with people off to see the cherry blossoms. Parking may be abysmal. We want you there in one piece ready to audition. Don’t stress about things you can’t control.

Mind you, it’s not great to be late. First off, you’ve lost your space. You need to be there fifteen minutes before your audition time. That’s when we call that audition time. If you’re not there at the check-in desk when we call, odds are you’ve lost your space. We don’t judge, we just move on.

If you are late, we will try and fit you into a standby space and, at the very least, distribute your headshots and resumes. However, it’s best not to be late.

#3: Have the right number of headshots

You will get the exact number of headshots/resumes needed in the second
confirmation email later this week. The number will also be listed on the Team J blog (this blog) around that same time.

Make sure you’ve counted your headshots beforehand so you’re handing us the correct number. Extras usually find their way to the trash.

Thanks for reading. We look forward to seeing you Saturday.

SAG Actor Update for 48HFP

March 27, 2007 /

We’ve just learned some important news that may impact actors and filmmakers attending Stonehenge and/or participating in the DC 48 Hour Film Project this upcoming May. Unlike previous years, the 48 Hour Film Project does not have a SAG waiver this year. So, 48 hour teams, no SAG for you.

Filmmakers, please bear that in mind when registering and noting pay scales.

UPDATE: As of 4/20/07, the 48 Hour folks have come to a new agreement with SAG. So you can use SAG actors again, but there are some changes. Check out the info here.

Stonehenge Registration Breaks Speed Record

March 26, 2007 /

Last night, 120 actors registered within the first eight minutes, taking all the guaranteed audition spaces. Previously, it took closer to five hours to fill all the guaranteed spaces. This is an astounding difference. Now while we like actors to be punctual, expecting them to have the reflexes of a web-trained cheetah is a bit silly. Therefore, we may be re-examining our longstanding first-come, first-served registration policy for future henges.

For those diligent actors who registered around 6:15pm, now you know why you have a standby space.

Registration officially closed at 9:30pm last night. Actor confirmations for the standby spaces and for the waiting list are still being processed and sent out. If you registered by 9:30pm, you will receive a confirmation before Tuesday.

Actor’s Center to Hold Stonehenge Prep

March 14, 2007 /

On March 31st, Michael Gabel will conduct a workshop called Prepping for Stonehenge for Actor Center members. The workshop will be 10:00 am -1:00 pm at Arlington Cultural Affairs Bldg (3700 Four Mile Run) in Room 127. There is a limit of 20 actors.
Actors should prepare a monologue. Note that this happens the Saturday
after actor registration, so you’ll know if you have a guranteed slot
or not. Actor’s Center membership information is available on their website.

Stonehenge IV Proves to be the Biggest Henge Yet

October 2, 2006 /

This past Saturday, approximately 30 assorted filmmakers, production companies and casting professionals collected over 130 headshots and resumes from eager actors with 122 having a chance to audition. We’ve already learned of dozens of actors getting calls for potential projects. We also have a new “speed” record for an actor getting a job out of Stonehenge. One gentleman was called in for voiceover work on Sunday—less than 24 hours after he auditioned!

As always, Stonehenge was successful thanks to a very hardworking Team J:
Sean Clark, Heather Cormeau, Kim Davenport, Hugo del Granado, Meredith
Sims, and Andy Spivey were the main event crew, with Barry Schmetter of
Lost Pilgrim Productions on camera. Vanessa Hranitz and Neil Sorenson
helped on the web side of things with Roy Quini and Kakupacal again
tweaking and redesigning graphics. The event was produced by Bjorn
Munson of Team J, who also served as stage manager for the day.
Finally, thanks to our sponsor: the DC Film Alliance.

Stonehenge IV Countdown Begins! Filmmaker Registration Opens!

August 31, 2006 /

The word is out via listservs, professional forums, and various emails:
filmmaker registration has now opened for Stonehenge IV. The
registration fee goes up after September 16, so register early! We are
pleased to offer registration fee discounts to members of Shooting
People (SP), Women in Film and Video (WIFV), and the DC Film Salon.

Actors have also received word about Stonehenge IV. Now the countdown begins to Sunday, September 17 at 6pm when actor registration opens.

Stonehenge Research Ends. Stonehenge IV Coming Soon!

August 10, 2006 /

Thanks to all the actors and filmmakers who responded to Team J’s email
survey, the end of a couple months of research and interviews with
industry folks directly and indirectly involved with Stonehenge. Not
only did we get a great response overall, many people took the time to
give thoughtful answers and suggestions. This has been very valuable
for us in planning for this Stonehenge and for the future and we
appreciate it. Remember, Stonehenge IV will be on Saturday, September
30. Actor registration opens Sunday, September 17 at 6pm, and filmmaker
registration will open before the end of August.

Stonehenge III has come and gone. Thanks to everyone who attended!

April 24, 2006 /

Over 100 actors were seen by a record number of local filmmakers (45+)
for our debut henge at the Warehouse Theater. We’ve already heard from
several actors who’ve gotten several calls and hope to see many of them
in the upcoming 48 Hour Film Project. Thanks to all the actors and
filmmakers who attended.

In addition, we would like to note the Team J staff who helped keep the
event running smoothly: Julianne Brienza, Vanessa Hranitz, Brian Robert
Fricke, Peggy Long, Brenda Madrigal, Meredith Sims, Andy Spivey, and
stage managed by Bjorn Munson. Equipment was provided by Flashpoint,
Washington Improv Theatre, and Arlington Independent Media. Barry
Schmetter and Caron Lee of Lost Pilgrim Productions served as our video
team, Roy Quini designed another fun iteration of the “Stonehenge” logo
and the whole event was sponsored by the DC Film Salon.
