Open to anyone age 16 and up, New Faces is designed to teach, inspire and develop the talents of all participants.
Join us this summer to hone your acting skills!

New Faces offers an opportunity for actors new to our stage (or new to acting) to work with experienced Suffield Players Directors in scene study and actor's craft.

~We will be developing the talents of Directors new to our stage as well!~

The performances will consist of a series of short plays, approximately 10 minutes each, selected by the Directors and worked on during the program.

New Faces 2024 begins with an afternoon of scheduled cold script readings/auditions for all New Faces participants on Saturday, July 13 at 2 pm.

Every accepted participant will perform in one of the shows!
The "auditions" are designed to place actors in one of our chosen ten-minute productions.

Rehearsal times will be scheduled by the Cast and Director of each individual play; possibly three to five hours weekly.

Space is limited; places for New Faces 2024 will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
Deadline to Register Interest: July 6, 2024 Note date change!

You will be contacted as soon as possible to confirm your letter of interest!

Please Note:
Participants from past New Faces programs who would like to re-qualify for a role will be considered if space allows.

ABOUT NEW FACES

New Faces was created in 2012 to provide opportunity for individuals new to the Suffield stage (or even any stage) to develop their talent. The program has evolved to include every element: actors, directors, writers, designers, and techies. Open to anyone age 16 and up, New Faces is designed to teach, inspire, and develop everyone who signs up, regardless of prior experience. All involved participate in the two performances, which include auditions, rehearsals, tech, and the big show! Space is limited to ensure that each person is able to participate fully and slots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Individuals from past New Faces programs or who may have had a minor role in a Suffield show or who may not have performed for several years will be considered. Experienced actors and directors are also sought to work with and assist in the development of all new talent.

Auditions are generally in early July and performances are on a mid-August Saturday (one matinee and one evening show).

Contact Mary to confirm interest in the program or if you have questions.
