September 2024 Newsletter: Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol, coming this Joyful Season!

30/9/2024

Hello everyone! We apologize for the delay in sending this newsletter.
 
Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol Audition Announcement
https://www.jakartaplayers.org/jacob-marleys-christmas-carol-cast.html
Please check the link above!
 
Since we have already held auditions in the beginning of the month, we would like to tell you a little about the play Jacob Marley Christmas Carol, which we will be performing in December.
 
Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol is a full-length comedy-drama play that rewrites Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol from the perspective of Jacob Marley, Ebenezer Scrooge's former business partner.

The play offers backstory on Marley, the first spirit to visit Scrooge on Christmas Eve. There are more, if you know the story *wink*. Anyway, the spirits are Scrooge's last chance to change his ways, or he will be cursed to carry even heavier chains.
 
Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol has gained popularity as a holiday classic, appealing to audiences who appreciate a deeper exploration of Dickens's themes. It invites viewers to reconsider the importance of compassion and the impact of one's choices, making it a poignant addition to the Christmas canon.
 
Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol is run at approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.
 
We will inform you later about ticket purchase details.
Psst, we will also be holding a special pre-show for Act 1. Stay tuned for more info!
 
Jacob Marley's Message:
  1. For those of you who are interested in being involved as a crew for the Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol performance, please contact our Co-Producer for this production, Yuli at [email protected]. We’re also open to collaboration request, so please write to us!

MONTHLY FEATURE: Open Audition for JP’s 2024 Play and Audition Tips!

This is your chance to perform with us. And how about a few audition tips to get you prepared and ready?!
  1. Be Prepared
    Prepare everything you need for the audition. Read and do a little bit of research about the play, triple-check the audition’s time and venue, and plan to arrive early. Arriving for an audition and being more prepared can minimize the chance of feeling surprised and nervous, it will boost your confidence and stay at ease when they call your number.


  2. Warm Up
    Don’t forget to warm up your vocals and body so they’re ready for the audition. Getting all warmed up allows you to have better control of your body during the audition, and warm-ups are also perfect to make you less nervous!


  3. Be Friendly and Courteous
    An audition starts whenever you arrive at the audition venue. The showrunners can see how you treat others, even the other auditionees. Producing a show is hard work, and the production team is looking for actors who they know can help make the process easier and smoother. This doesn’t only mean performing skills, but also a good attitude!


  4. Find A Goal
    No matter how good your audition goes, sometimes there’s just not a role that’s suitable for you, it’s nothing personal. So, don’t go to an audition with getting a role is your only goal. Find another goal – for example, to practice your acting, to get more experience in auditioning, or most important thing, to have fun making the experiences – and you’ll walk away with a personal accomplishment, regardless of the casting results.


Now that you're primed and ready, don’t forget to sign up.

July 2024 Newsletter: Sustainability in Theater ♻️

27/7/2024

0 Comments

 
Greetings from JP!
It's July already, the month of holidays and vacations. Happy Summer and stay hydrated!

MONTHLY FEATURE
Did you know that there’s a global movement called Plastic Free July? It helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities.

Even in the theater scene, we can do our part in reducing trash and making more sustainable productions. Maybe you’ve noticed that some costumes, set pieces, or props get thrown out after a production. But there’s a less wasteful way to do things.

The folks at the collective initiative Theatre Green Book have created a framework for theaters interested in making their theater group and shows more sustainable. Some examples include learning where to resource your costume pieces from and planning what to do with the set pieces after a production.

They have various resources on their website, including guidance books and case studies. Moreover, they’re geared towards organizations with all levels of readiness. Whether you’re just trying to find ideas to make your next production more ecologically mindful, or you’re ready to fully commit to their proposed principles, they have resources for you to dive into.

Let’s do our part in making our lives, both on stage and off, more attuned to the world we live in.
