Hosting

We will again this year be hosted by Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio.  Muskingum College is located approximately one hour east of Columbus, Ohio.  Click here for directions.

Hotels

A block of rooms has been reserved for OTA at the Holiday Inn in Cambridge, Ohio.  The rate is $55 (less than last year!).  Ask for the Ohio Theatre Alliance room block.  Reservations may be made by calling 1.740.432.7313.  Other accommodations are easily found in Zanesville, Ohio (15 minutes west of New Concord) or Cambridge, Ohio (10 minutes east of New Concord).  There are many hotels of varying price ranges in these cities.  Click here for hotel contact information.

Callback rooms

Callback rooms are available, free of charge, to those producers who request them.  Because of the distance between hotels and the Muskingum campus, holding callbacks in producer hotel rooms is not an option.  The campus callback rooms will be available to producers throughout the day Saturday, allowing producers with more than one representative the opportunity to attend auditions and conduct callbacks simultaneously.  Producers can remain in their callback room as late into the evening as is required.  Additionally, producers may choose to set up any special promotional displays in their callback room on Friday evening.

Dance Auditions

Producers will select those auditionees that they want to see attend the dance auditions, which will start immediately after the conclusion of auditions.  Last year, approximately 50 auditionees participated in the dance auditions.

Technical Interviews

Producers hiring technicians/designers/managers will be provided a table in the Interview Room upon which they may set up promotional material and conduct interviews throughout the day.  Auditions and interviews occur simultaneously throughout the day on Saturday.  You may want to bring more than one person so that your organization is represented in both sites.

Meals

Saturday's lunch for producers will be provided on campus.  One lunch is included in your producer registration fee.  Additional lunches may be ordered at $10 each.  Vegetarian meals are available.  As in previous years, we will offer a free sack dinner to producers who are holding callbacks in the evening on Saturday.

Hospitality

On Friday evening, the Ohio Theatre Alliance will host a hospitality suite for all producers in the OTA meeting room at the Holiday Inn in Cambridge.  Producers are welcome to visit us from 7 p.m. through 10:00 p.m., and check in, pick up producer books, and share a beverage and snacks with regional colleagues.  For producers who would like to check out the audition/interview site, and/or set up promotional materials in advance of Saturday's event, we will have OTA volunteers onsite at Muskingum College from 5:00 through 7:00 p.m.
