TICKET AND ACCESSIBILITY INFO

Hello everyone! Hope you're practicing your not blinking. I have some information for you all I hope you'll be as excited about as I am! This year, with the show being indoors, we've had to keep the space small in order to afford being able to still offer FREE THEATER. However, with that limited space comes the challenge of everyone getting a seat. So tickets, while still FREE, will require RSVP. This ticketing site will go live in about a week and a half, so watch this space.

IN ADDITION, please note that this production WILL briefly include the use of a strobe OR strobe-like effect and plan accordingly to keep yourself safe.

In the meantime, be aware of the following important dates and mark them down if they are relevant to you:

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21ST will be our first ever ASL Interpreted performance! We are extremely grateful to have secured the services of Amanda Smith-Hughes and Rebecca Kineblade and we hope you will tell anyone you know who would like to attend this performance so they can be ready to get tix!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28TH will be our MASKS-REQUIRED performance for anyone who desires to attend with additional safety protocols. All our cast/crew is double-vaccinated (and hopefully, by then, many even more so) and we have strict illness policies in effect. The room is equipped with outward-facing fans on both ends, but we understand that many require additional protection. 

At any performance, we hope to offer a downloadable script for your device if you require 'captions' to follow along.

Okay. Please stay in touch, and keep your eyes peeled by the end of the month for that ticket link!!

And for early access to tickets, email us at helloearthseattle@gmail.com to be added to our list!

 

 Actors Needed

For this fall’s live performances of

Doctor in the Dark: Blink

by Hello Earth Productions

Auditions

Friday, 7/21 6-9pm

or

Saturday, 7/22 6-9pm

Studio C @Theatre Puget Sound, 

Seattle Center Armory, 4th Floor

Roles Needed

8-10 actors of any age, ethnicity, gender

4 performers with strong movement experience: dancers, mimes, etc

NO RSVP NEEDED

Just show up! The auditions will consist of two parts: a short movement exercise and readings from the script. If you are ONLY interested in being a Weeping Angel, you will be free to go after the exercise. If you wish to audition for a speaking part, you are invited to stay, but please be prepared to stay for the entire audition as we will be conducting callbacks in the same session.

All participants will be required to show proof of COVID vaccination.

“Blink” is an adaptation of a beloved episode of Doctor Who in which a young person has to decode a message sent through time, loses a friend, gains another, and comes face to face with a explains wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff and the terrifying creatures who feed off of it.

We are committed to diverse and creative casting. The right person for the role will express the essence of their character(s), and will not necessarily conform to an expected race, gender, ethnicity, or body type. Actors of color, gender non-conforming actors, and actors with disabilities are encouraged to audition. We are not looking for impersonations, and a lengthy acting resume is not required. All are welcome to apply. We are a donation-funded non-profit theater company and offer a stipend of $100.

Rehearsals will primarily be on weekday evenings in late August, September, and October. Performances will take place the last two weekends of October and first weekend of November.

Hello Hello Earthlings!

Happy spring! We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over the years and your inquiries about this summer. We apologize for the lateness of this announcement, but as you may know our production team is very small and we have had to take some time to figure out our schedule.

We can't let you in on what we're doing just yet, because it will take some planning. We CAN tell you it will be in the vein of what we've been doing, but totally new, and still totally free. It will also require an indoor space and, thus, unsuitable for the park. It also has some technical requirements we will need some time to work out. For these reasons, we plan on having an announcement at the end of June about a show in October, just in time for Halloween. We hope to also have an announcement about next summer's show very soon, so stay tuned!

And if anyone out there has connections with either a venue or a lighting designer, please get in touch.

Every weekend in August!

2021 Season Announcement

Hello Fellow Earthlings!

With spring making itself known, and Seattle moving much of its activity outside, we know a lot of people are wondering: "when will Hello Earth and Wars Outdoors return?"

We are definitely excited about the final act in our trilogy and eager to bring Jabba the Hutt, the Ewoks, and Nien Nunb to life. However, we've thought long and hard about the choices we are asking cast, crew, and audience to make and have decided that we will NOT be presenting an outdoor, in person show this summer.

We know this is a disappointment, and believe us, it's a difficult thing to have to decide. But given the time required to put a show like ours on, we are typically beginning our process now. Doing so would by necessity force our partners to make decisions for themselves and their loved ones' safety that are not necessary for a labor of love like ours. Additionally, with numbers still rising in many parts of the country, we cannot responsibly make a decision now about how conditions will be in July and August, and therefore, cannot plan adequately without endangering the show.

Thank you for being with us on this journey, and for taking care of each other this past year. We will be back as soon as we can, and we hope you'll be on the look out for 2022's Return (at last!) of the Jedi as well as any other scaled-down events we might produce in the meantime.

Joy DeLyria and Kris Hambrick, producers
