The HB Ensemble

The HB Ensemble is a joint project of the HB Studio and the HB Playwrights Foundation designed to bridge the gap between the classroom and the stage by giving serious actors who are well-versed in their technique and ready to make a responsible and ethical commitment to the future of their art, the opportunity to perform and participate in all aspects of theatre production. The Ensemble is an extension of the Studio’s training program, and as members of the group, actors are encouraged to continue their development in all aspects of theatrical craft. The Ensemble meets twice monthly to share and reflect on work-in-progress. Members may initiate workshop projects for development within the HB Studio classroom spaces, and the group presents two full productions annually in the HB Playwrights Foundation Theatre.

Selection is by audition before the Ensemble’s Faculty Advisory Committee and the Studio’s Executive Director. Auditions are held annually in January, during the Winter term. Students must be enrolled at the Studio in order to be eligible to apply, and in order to remain active with the group.

Auditions for the 2012 HB Ensemble will be held in January.

Alec Harrington will be Artistic Director for the season and will lead the Ensemble in a program dedicated to classical work.

We will be auditioning students with the season in mind, to select a company that will perform together for the year. A panel of faculty advisors will make selections based on the work presented.

HB students practicing at an advanced level who are enrolled in the Winter 2012 term are eligible to apply.

Auditions:
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, January 20, 21 and 22, 2012
Callbacks may be scheduled January 28 to 29, 2012
