Wan To Audition?
Aardvark will host auditions for Tennessee William's Orpheus Descending on Aug 1 & 2
(A week from THIS coming Mon. & Tues.). It has two central roles and a host of wonderful supporting roles.
It's a fairly well known William's piece, so it's available in most collections of his works and in most libraries.
It's one of those plays I've wanted to direct for many years, but haven't tackled. Now I'm ready and I need your help.
Not only am I asking you to consider auditioning, but I'm asking that you forward the following information to people who you think would be interested in auditioning. There are a host of different "types" in the show, so there's room for many different actors.
Thanks for your help!
