Gamescape is a high quality program showcasing video games and the creative people who make them. Visitors browsed and interacted with selected video games from local and international video game developers along with classic arcade games from the past. Gamescape remained open during Artscape After Hours, featuring live performances of video game music.
Local landscape architecture design firm P.E.L.A. Design, Inc. transformed a surface lot into an urban garden oasis for ballroom dancing. Visitors meandered through the multi-textural ornamental grasses and colorful perennials before making their way to the dance floor. The garden featured live performances by professional ballroom dancers. Festival-goers were also invited to take part in free dance lessons from a variety of experienced instructors. During Artscape After Hours, the dance floor was open to the public.
The Artists’ Market is a juried exhibition highlighting artists who create and execute original, professional quality work. Festival-goers were invited to view and purchase art from more than 100 vendors, selected from nearly 400 applicants.
This year’s Baltimore Theatre Community Annual Auditions are back, and we hope better than ever.
We have selected the dates of Saturday, August 23, and Monday August 25.
Center Stage – The Head Theater 700 N. Calvert Street Baltimore, MD 21202
AEA Members – FREE / Non-Members $10 Auditors – $20 per theater**
Auditions will be held from 10 am-5 pm on Saturday, August 23, and from 6 pm to 9 pm on Monday, August 25, in The Head Theater (4th floor) at Center Stage. On Saturday, there will be a musical accompanist from 12pm-1pm and 2pm-3pm for anyone wishing to sing as part of their audition.
As you know, these auditions have always been an important opportunity for both the theaters and the artists involved. With so many artistic leaders and actors participating, it’s always a wonderful time for new talent to be discovered, and to discover new opportunities.
We are seeking actors of all ages, both non-AEA and AEA, from around the state to audition. And we hope to have over 40 Auditors from local and regional theatres.
You can register online now at http://baltimoreauditions2014.eventbrite.com.
Also, if you would be interested in volunteering to support the auditions, do let us know! There will be a call for help sorting headshots, timing auditions, setting up food, etc.
Please help us promote! We have less turnaround time this year than in the past, so we need your help to get the word out, and make these auditions a huge success. We encourage you to share the event on social media, email it to your members, and help us spread the word!
