AUDITIONS!
Announcing the auditions for Theatre Arts spring semester production:
THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR
Thursday, November 14th at 7PM
Monday, November 18th at 7PM
Annenberg Center 511
We are also seeking an Assistant Director (Intro to Directing required). For more information, click here.
The corrupt government officials of a provincial Russian town are thrown into a panic when word arrives that their town is to be investigated. How will they get the government inspector to ignore the obvious corruption and make a good report back to the capital? This classic satire from Nikolai Gogel is a hilarious look at unqualified people working to enrich themselves, and maybe not getting away with it.
This production is a course - Thar 350, Rehearsal and Performance. Students who are cast in the production will register for the course in order to participate. Rehearsals are Monday - Thursday, 7-10 PM starting January 13, with added rehearsals on Feb 7-12, and performances on Feb 13-16. In addition, we will have a number of rehearsals before winter break, based on cast availability. Depending on your role, you may not be called to every rehearsal.
Auditions for all roles are done in a workshop audition. No preparation necessary, just come ready to play. This production will be a highly collaborative exploration into satire, clown, physical theater, adaptation, and acting, culminating in a hilarious and biting performance. The current adaptation of the play is designed to work with 5 actors, but will be readapted to work with more actors based on who is cast in the production.
To Audition, attend a one hour workshop on November 14th at 7PM, or November 18th at 7PM, in Room 511 in the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. Registration is preferred, but not required.
