Confirmation of Upcoming Meetings/Auditions

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for your feedback in regards to the times that were best for you to meet. I tried to accommodate everyone.

The two meetings will be held on Thursday, January 25th and Monday, January 29th. Both meetings will be at the Islington Town Hall from 6-8pm. You do not need to come to both meetings, but rather chose the best one for you. I will email a meeting agenda prior to the meeting night. It is an open meeting for those interested in working on the V-Day Islington event and the benefit production of The Vagina Monologues. Please feel free to bring those interested with you.

Auditions: Please come prepared to read one of the three monologue excerpts included with the volunteer application. Additionally, feel free to read another piece of The Vagina Monologues if you have it at your disposal. I would also appreciate feedback from you at the time of your reading: the type and length of piece you would like to be considered for as well as if you prefer to do a monologue on your own or with other actresses. I will have scripts available at the meeting for you to take away with you and will contact you within a week as to what part you will perform. This will not be based solely on your reading. The auditions will not be private, as we will be doing them within the group.

Volunteers: This meeting will also be a chance for us to create smaller groups within the larger group to begin setting goals and working towards those goals for other areas of the event as mentioned on the volunteer application.

This will be an open meeting but I hope that those attending will have a little bit of a background knowledge of our event, so if you would like me to pass more information on to anyone, please put them in touch with me. I have tried to respond in a timely manner to all queries.

If you have not accepted the invitation to the google groups that I have sent you, please do so to enable that we communicate on a regular basis as well as with one another. I am happy to send information via email, but there will be times that the postings on the google groups page will warrant feedback and ideas and I think it is important for all of us to be involved. You can certainly create your preferences so that you are not receiving too many emails and can check in periodically. This is also a good place to post attachments as well as information in regards to the V-Day movement and spotlight campaign. Part of being involved in the benefit production of TVM is also being knowledgeable about V-Day.

See you soon,

Kara
