Acting Unlimited will hold open auditions for Calderon de la Barca's 1640's masterpiece Life Is a Dream (La Vida Es Sueno). This is a comedy/drama which explores questions of fate vs. free will, human dignity, feminism, political power and moral responsibility. This version will edit the script for a tighter plot and character structure by trimming some of the longer speeches. No characters will be removed or abbreviated.
The production needs 2 middle-aged to elderly men, 2 young men, 2 young women and 1 man or woman of any age but physically active.
They are also looking for people who like to work behind the scenes as costumers, prop masters, makeup artists, painters, carpenters, light/sound board operators and scenic, lighting and costume designers.
Auditions will be held at Cite Des Arts (corner of Buchanan and Vine in downtown Lafayette) from 6:30 to 8:30 PM on Monday, September 14th and Tuesday, September 15th and again on Saturday, September 19th from 2-4. Performances are January 11th-27th, 2010.
Auditioners do not need to prepare an audition piece--they will read from the script. Familiarity with Classic theatre is not necessary--they will teach you what you need to know. The translation sounds contemporary and the style will be modified naturalism.
If you have any questions, call Walter Brown at 235-6284 or Danny Povinelli at 201-1696 or email Brown or Povinelli.
This is a great play and should be a great theatre experience for any actor, designer or technician.
