Auditions Big Idea Theatre's Twelfth Night By William Shakespeare Directed By Brian Harrower Big Idea Theatre gives Shakespeare's classic cross-dressing comedy a modern twist. Set against the background of Mardi Gras in post-hurricane New Orleans, Twelfth Night is a riotous, fun-filled romp filled with drag queens, shipwrecked pirates, and lovesick counts. Let the good times roll!   Big Idea Theatre is recapturing the gender bending humor of the script as Shakespeare originally intended (or did he?) when men played women's roles, thus the role of Olivia will be played as a drag queen, Orsino and Malvolio will be gay men, and the role of Andrew Aguecheek has been adapted to Annie Aguecheek (Sir Toby's friend and lesbian). Auditions will be held for this hilarious comedy at Big Idea Theatre on Saturday, August 20th at 1:00pm. Callbacks will be at Big Idea Theatre on Saturday, August 27th at 12:00pm The theatre is located at 1616 Del Paso Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95815. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Please bring a current headshot and resume.

Keeping him confused is their objective and they seem to succeed for a while with situations that range from a potential suicide to a potential romantic escapade.

THE Actors' Workshop and Integral Theatre Company, Folsom - A stage adaptation of Jane Austen's "Emma" Emma is the story of Miss Emma Woodhouse, a well-to-do young woman in a small English town in 1815. After her governess, Miss Taylor, marries and becomes Mrs. Weston, Emma is left with her hypochondriac, hyper-concerned father as her sole companion. She therefore takes the poor, unconnected, yet gentle, Harriet under her wing. Emma's love of matchmaking leads her to meddle in Harriet's love life, and to set up some romantic misadventures of her own. A humorous, satirical work, where the plot is often secondary to the characters themselves. From the garrulous Miss Bates, to the querulous Mr Woodhouse, to the gallant Mr. Knightley and erratic Mr. Churchill, a fascinating example of Jane Austen's prowess with the English language.    Actors still needed for the roles of:                                                                                                                                               Mr. George Knightley,   a respected landowner, handsome and honest - age late 30's to 40's Mrs. Anne Weston (Miss Taylor) - Formerly Miss Taylor, Emma's beloved governess and companion. Age mid 30's to 40's Frank Churchill , a handsome, yet somewhat shallow man who pursues pleasure more than industry- age 20's+    Call 916-207-5606 or e-mail, info@actorsworkshop.net for questions and request audition form. Sending your head-shot and resume in advance, electronically, is requested but not required. Show runs September 29 to November 6 Rehearsal in progress!!!

FOLSOM LAKE COLLEGE THEATRE DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR The Good Person of Szechwan on September 6 Folsom, CA                                                                                                                               July 27, 2011   The Falcon's Eye Theatre at Folsom Lake College calls for actors from the community to audition September 6 for its fall production of The Good Person of Szechwan, Bertolt Brecht's engaging parable.   A young woman, who is forced into prostitution by poverty, is rewarded handsomely after opening her home to three visiting gods. By disproving the gods' contention that no goodness still exists on earth, the woman is given a small business by the gods, and from there she struggles to work honestly and to provide for the needy. After falling victim to unscrupulous neighbors and a dishonest lover, she is forced to create a fierce, manipulative, and efficient alter-ego - that of her strong-willed business-savvy male "cousin." Will the forces of capitalism overwhelm her, or will she maintain her goodness in a world of corruption?   Audition Date: Tuesday, September 6, 6:30pm on a first-come, first-served basis.   Audition Location: Auditions will take place in the Drama Lab (PAC-1170) of the Three Stages Performing Arts Center on the Folsom campus of Folsom Lake College, 10 College Parkway (off E.

One dollar parking permits are available at kiosks located throughout the parking lots.   Auditioners MUST prepare a monologue that is no more than 90-seconds-long from any stage play. This monologue should best portray the actor's strengths and can be of any genre, but must be from a play written for the stage. This monologue must be memorized. Auditioners who are called back will also be asked to audition by way of cold readings from the text. Auditions are expected to run until approximately 10pm.
