Muse of Fire Macbeth auditions, WorkPlay

Posted on December 30, 2007 | Comments Off on Muse of Fire Macbeth auditions, WorkPlay

The folks at Muse of Fire are preparing for their next performance of Shakespeare at Sloss. They are holding auditions for their Spring 2008 production, Macbeth. The full requirements are over on their website, www.shakespeareatsloss.com, (especially important if you plan on auditioning to be either Macbeth or Lady Macbeth) though we can at least tell you to start working on that short Shakespearean monologue that you’re going to perform on January 2.

You can set up another time for an interview by contacting Muse’s Elizabeth Hunter at muse@elizabethofnewyork.com.

Just in case you’re not planning to audition, tickets go on sale in March and the show goes on May 3 &4. Stay tuned.

Posted on December 30, 2007 | Comments Off on A New Year’s Eve Cabaret Celebration, Virginia Samford Theatre

The Two Tamales (Jan Hunter & Kristi Tingle Higginbotham) are considered the two ladies of Birmingham stage. The Virginia Samford Theatre’s website listing says that they’ll be performing songs from their classic routine for those in attendance on New Year’s Eve. The night will feature a performance by Euan Morton, currently appearing in Cyrano de Bergerac with Kevin Kline and Jennifer Garner at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York until January 6th.  So, it’s sounding like a great show to me.

Cost: $30

The Terminal Staff Meeting, Java and Jams

Posted on December 28, 2007 | Comments Off on The Terminal Staff Meeting, Java and Jams

So, you want to join this motley crew of writers? Cool, because we’re going to need a lot more folks like you in the coming year to keep this thing going…

We’re looking for anyone that has a true passion and love for Birmingham, Alabama, its metropolitan area and all that it has to offer. Our submissions section (recently edited – check for the changes) offers a little more information about what we’re looking for in each section – and know that we’re not just looking for writers either. Photographers, video folks, people that like to podcast – all are welcome.

Our first “staff” meeting of 2008 will focus largely on trying to get some folks plugged into what they want to write about, so long as it relates to our goal of being a hub for information and conversation in Birmingham. We’ve also got some story ideas for folks that want an assignment. We promise it won’t be too painful

We still can’t pay you yet, and we’re not going to be too picky, though if you could forward us a sample of your writing that would even be better.

So come on out to Java and Jams (321 20th Street North) buy some coffee and let’s figure out where this thing is going this year.
