So ... you think your dog is the next Eddie, the lovable pooch on "Frasier." Or maybe even the next "Lassie" - brave, smart and able to turn on the charm when the director yells, "Action!"
Well, here's your chance to see if your pooch has star quality.
The FSU/Asolo Conservatory is looking for a doggie diva or Shakespeare hound to play the part of Crab the Dog in an upcoming production of "The Two Gentlemen of Verona." (And he or she won't have to memorize any Elizabethan dialog!)
Greg Leaming, director of FSU/Asolo Conservatory and also this production, says, "We're looking for older dogs with a wizened and deadpan sense of humor. They should be docile and responsive to commands. Some knowledge of tricks is a plus, but all dogs will be considered. Any interesting dog can and should audition; my thoughts on the right dog can we swayed by a really good audition!"
So here's the 411 on the auditions:
When: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 18
Where: FSU Center for the Performing Arts
5555 N. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota
To schedule an audition:
Call (941) 359-5700, option 1, ext. 3636 or
e-mail Debi.Schalch@conservatory.fsu.edu
Deadline: Sept. 13
Rehearsals begin: Oct. 28
Production runs: Nov. 2-21
Leaming reminds "stage parents" that their dog must have proof of vaccination and be sociable, and be leashed during the auditions. Conservatory students will be on hand to assist people and their pets, making sure there is plenty of fresh water and doggie treats on hand (or paw).
