Show Thursday, May 6, 1982-Pae- e 13 Pageant Casting Is Demanding Tasfc June 7 and closes on Friday, July 16 this season. With the triple casting, each performer will have 11 or 12 nights on stage, depending on which cast they are in. Sometimes Mrs. Allman will be working with an entire family, as each of them wants to become involved with the production. She tries to schedule them in a single cast, if that is what they want, or rotates some of the family for a different cast, if that is more convenient for them. Her responsibility does not end with the casting of a particular performer. She must check back to see if they are available for their assigned performances, securing a substitute if they are unable to ap-pear. All cast members must meet rigid schedules, reporting nightly to the casting officer on time, where they go to make-u- p and costuming and then wait in the "holding" room at American Fork High School for their curtain call. Where other theatrical productions ask their cast to "put more action into it," Utah Pageant of the Arts demands that they don't do anything. Just stand there for the one to three minutes their set is on stage. The 1982 production of the Pageant includes 44 selections in 23 scenes, Mrs. Allman said. The production will include paintings, sculpture pieces, porcelains, blown glass, stained glass window, a postage stamp, a medal, bas relief and a classic tapestry. More than 500 per-sons, ranging in age from five years to senior citizens, came to be photographed at the casting nights held earlier this year. Successful applicants are currently being notified of their assignment and those who were not selected are also being invited to participate in some other aspect of the production . . . and encouraged to try out for the cast again next season. The 1982 production marks the tenth year of this unique production and will be a "Com-mand Performance" ; with selections chosen as favorites by Pageant patrons. New produc- - ' tion techniques have I been added, new '. costumes prepared and ; sets repainted to give : the new show the dazzle and style which has ; marked the steady growth of this unusual and successful production. Audiences have topped the 25,000 mark during the last few seasons and is expected to increase with the extension to 34 performances, ac-cording to directors David O. Brockbank and Bill Kirkpatrick. Finding the perfect cast member for the recreations of masterpiece art works for Utah Pageant of the Arts is one of the most exciting and demanding jobs in the unique Pageant production. Tamara Allman ( Mrs. Paul) of Lehi has been casting director for this fast-growin- g cultural arts presentation since 1975. It is Mrs. Allman's job to find just the right person for the right selection. Since all Pageant art subjects, such as paintings or sculpture works, are re-created life-siz- e with living cast members bringing the works to life, the choice of cast member is critical. Mrs. Allman casts the production by looking at the approximately 500 casting photographs taken in the special Pageant photo booth, which shows a front view, a side view and the height of each person. The casting director painstakingly matches the available cast members with the photographs of the various art selections to be presented. Due to the problems of per-spective, she sometimes finds it necessary to cast a younger person in the role of an adult. Size and body proportion are the determining factors. The 1982 show will require approximately 110 persons in the nightly cast. The show is triple cast, with each cast position requiring three persons for the run of the performance, which opens on Monday, p I ? f f iir is! sv It I f A; I; l 15 f --V. r 4 CASTING- - Tamara Allman painstakingly selects just the right people for parts in this year's Pageant of the Arts. j May ADAGE Meet Tonight !
