In case you haven’t ambled over to our Stonehenge section, Stonehenge registration is now open for filmmakers and actors. The event goes down on Sunday, March 28 at a brand new location in Washington, DC: CDIA in Georgetown.
Of course, as often happens, we’ve updated some of the FAQs for both Actors and Filmmakers–including a new video release for those actors that want us to tape them at this event.
Remember, there are no walk-ins for either actors or filmmakers. Everyone needs to register beforehand. So if you know any actors who might be interested, they have until Saturday 3/13 to register. Filmmakers have until 3/24 to register, but their price to attend doubles on Friday, 3/12. Let your friends know!
We’re happy to announce the 2010 Stonehenge Schedule, now updated on the website. The dates will be 3/28 in DC and 6/6 and 9/26 in Baltimore. Click on any of the individual Stonehenge links for details like when registration will open, etc.
Also, we’ve made some changes to the still exhaustive Filmmaker FAQ and Actor FAQ. So check ‘em out why doncha?
Unless you were one of the actors who got videotaped, one of the filmmakers who attended, or one of our growing list of YouTube subscribers, you probably didn’t know the Stonehenge 9 videos have been added to our YouTube channel:
http://www.youtube.com/stonehengeauditions
Clever name, huh?
We would also be remiss if we didn’t mention that the all the videos have been viewed over 37,000 times, with over 5,000 visits to the channel itself. Not heady numbers if we were trying to be a viral phenomenon, but good for casting purposes. Now the folks from September’s Stonehenge 9 are part of that mix.
Kudos again to all the actors who came out. Here’s hoping you’re getting gigs.
Emails to all 192 actors for Stonehenge were sent Thursday morning, the number of headshots/resumes you need to bring is 24, and we’re looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday in Baltimore.
However, we know things come up at the last minute (inclduing paying gigs) and some actors will not be able to make it. If you can’t make it–for any reason–please send us a quick email at stonehenge@teamjabberwocky.com.
For anyone with a guaranteed slot, this a must. Otherwise, as listed on the website, those actors who don’t show–and don’t let us know–won’t get to audition for three years’ worth of henges. Most actors, including those with standby slots, opt to go for the good karma and shoot us an email at stonehenge@teamjabberwocky.com. It usually gives someone on the waitlist a chance and also makes the event run smoother, so why not?
Finally, we’re happy to remind actors we will once again be taping auditions for Stonehenge and posting them on our YouTube channel (cunningly located at www.youtube.com/user/StonehengeAuditions). The collected auditions have gotten over 30,000 views and we have a growing list of local production companies as subscribers. Details about the free service and release are at http://tinyurl.com/2q43dv.
Thanks for reading and we’ll see you at the Henge!
Filmmaker registration for Stonehenge IX has closed. Close to 50 filmmakers from about 19 different production companies will be attending.
The second confirmation for actors will be sent out tomorrow (Thursday) with adjustments made for cancellations. However, we can tell you already that the “magic” number of headshots is 24.
About 26 filmmakers have signed up, but we still have space left for additional production companies. If you’re looking for new talent or to build your acting roster for future productions, you’ll have an opportunity to see over 100 actors of all types, union and nonunion, throughout the day.
All-important details about the event and required registration is online at http:/www.goteamj.com/stonehenge.html. Registration will be open until 6pm Wednesday, 9/9.
Independent filmmakers, casting directors, and production companies, have all used Stonehenge–and they’ve told us of over 400 roles cast in over 95 projects from actors seen in the first eight henges. We’d love it to work for you.
Discounts are available for members of CAmm, WIFV (DC), and WIFV-MD.
We look forward to seeing you at the henge!

Over 280 actors registered for Stonehenge IX over the past two weeks. We conducted our lottery earlier today and have now sent out emails to everyone who registered.
Just to reiterate: if you registered for Stonehenge, you have been sent an email, whether or not you got a slot.
If for some reason you have not received an email–and with spam filters, that is a possibility–send us an email at stonehenge@teamjabberwocky.com.
Remember, that if you cannot attend for whatever reason, please shoot us a quick email to cancel your slot. There’s several people on the waitlist that would love to audition.
For those of you who were not selected, the next Stonehenge will be in late March/Early April 2010–and we’ll be returning to Washington, DC, so hopefully we’ll see you there!
For actors interested in attending this latest Stonehenge, we encourage you to register sooner rather than later before you forget. Actor registration has a hard stop at 6pm on Saturday, August 29. And although audition slots are assigned by lottery, you have better odds of getting a slot than any game of chance out there.
Let us explain: in addition to the 120 guaranteed slots, there’s 72 standby slots PLUS a waitlist. (we won’t say how many people will be on the waitlist, but it’s double digits, and it’s a prime number because, well, we like prime numbers). Suffice to say it’s more than 200 spaces and on average, 300 of you register.
200+ openings for 300-some actors is good, but it gets better.
This past Stonehenge, every single actor on the waitlist got an actual audition slot. Moreover, at the event, every single actor, guaranteed or standby, who wanted to audition, auditioned. We’re not saying this will happen this time, but this is how is does happen: actors, such as yourselves, are conscientious and email us before the event and cancel. Life happens and every Stonehenge, actors have to cancel for good reasons (a paying gig) and bad (horribly sick). Whenever someone cancels, space opens up. It’s karma at work.
Again, 200+ spaces for the 300 actors who register on average.
If you pop on over to the Registration page, you’ll see that Filmmaker registration is now open for Stonehenge IX, set for September 13th in Baltimore, MD.
Discounts are available for members of the Creative Alliance/CAmm, WIFV (DC), and WIFV-MD.
It’s $25 until Friday, August 28th (or $20 with the discount). After that, the registration fee doubles.
Due to the packed house for Stonehenge VIII, we will be rearranging the seating, however, there is the possibility the seats for filmmakers will fill up, so register early!
