Running for a limited run September 20th through the 29th, Gadfly's version of Shakespeare's Othello takes a classic piece about racial and class tension, updates it, and adds elements of homophobia and biphobia for an even more compelling drama in Shakespeare's words. We'll be performing in the intimate People's Center Theater on the West Bank of Minneapolis. We have one Artistic Director directing, and the other starring as villainous Iago--but we still need YOU.
On July 9th and 10th from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M. at the Lowry Lab Theater in St. Paul we're going to be auditioning for 10 unique acting opportunities! Here's the breakdown of what we're looking for:
Othello--female identified. Black. Type generally not important. Can play mid-20s. Character will be played as a lesbian, so you must be comfortable playing the romantic lead opposite a woman.
AND 9 more awesome actors comfortable with double casting, cross gender casting when applicable (although not all parts will be as such, so don't be disappointed if you're not). All ages, races, genders, and types welcome and encouraged. In fact, if we don't have ages ranging from 24 to more than double that, this show will not reach it's full potential. At least one role needs to be able to play some sort of portable instrument at least competently.
All parts are paid a stipend. Currently that is cut of house (portion of ticket sales) but we will let you know by the time you sign your contract in early August if that has changed. Contracts will need to be signed by August 1st, and we start rehearsing August 13th.
TO audition, please send a resume to gadflytheatre@gmail.com
See you on the 9th or 10th!
P.S. We also need an Assistant Director with some experience in choreographing modern fights, and possibly a stage manager, so send those resumes too to be considered or set up an interview.
