The Kaplen JCC on the Palisades has just established Palisades Players, an inspirational new home for professional, pre-professional and highly experienced theater artists.
As a new community theater serving talent from throughout Northern New Jersey to NYC and Broadway, Palisades Players will showcase quality theatrical events, primarily featuring works that illustrate Jewish culture and tradition and celebrate the work of Jewish playwrights.
The goal is to become a growing hub for actors preparing for careers on Broadway that will also draw Broadway audiences to our community, creating a dynamic artistic corridor between the Palisades and Broadway.
To launch the first season, the JCC is seeking support from artists, arts organizers and patrons of the arts who share the JCC’s mission to maintain a thriving theater arts center in our local community. To celebrate its launch, the JCC is planning a major fundraising benefit to take place this November. It will feature vignettes and scenes from shows that span from the early 1900’s to the present that reflect the Jewish experience.
Open auditions will be held for strong singers with acting ability as well as energetic, versatile and experienced actors. There may be small roles for young teens or children with professional experience.
- Actors should come with a relatively upbeat 30-second monologue.
- Singers should prepare two contrasting songs from traditional or contemporary Broadway songbooks.
- They may also be asked to read from the script.
