Auditions: Fall 2018 Samuel Beckett's Late, Great Works

Join us for the Theatre Arts program's fall MainStage production (Nov. 1-4): a selection of Samuel Beckett’s late, great short works, including a screening of the only screenplay he ever wrote, Film. This "iconic avant-garde" playwright’s extraordinary short plays address humanity reduced to its essence, with characteristic darkness, style, and humor.   Playwright Edward Albee famously called these plays “…an experience unequaled anywhere in the universe of words,” and Gilles Deleuze intriguingly describes the final image in Film as “the most terrifying…perception of self by self."    Join the Theatre Arts and the Cinema and Media Studies Programs for this unprecedented collaboration, as we engage Beckett’s unique legacy in two distinctive formats.
 Roles for men and women are available. Auditions for the Theatre Arts/Cinema Studies collaborative Beckett production will take place concurrently wtih TAC-e auditions on September 2nd and 3rd in Williams Hall, from 7pm-11pm.  Email Marcia Fergusion (marciaf@sas.upenn.edu) if you are interested in auditioning or more information about this collaborative project.
