Open Auditions For 完美体育官网 Theatre鈥檚 Spring Productions
完美体育官网 Theatre will hold open auditions for the 鈥淭he Importance of Being Earnest鈥欌 and 鈥淕ee鈥檚 Bend鈥 on Wednesday, Jan. 12, at 6 p.m., in the 完美体育官网 Center for the Arts. Auditions are open to ages 14 and up.
One of the most renowned of Oscar Wilde鈥檚 comedies, The Importance of Being Earnest (Feb. 24-27) is the story of two bachelors, John 鈥淛ack鈥 Worthing and Algernon 鈥淎lgy鈥 Moncreiff, who create alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome lives. They attempt to win the hearts of two women who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest. The pair struggle to keep up their own stories and become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and misadventure. Wilde鈥檚 brilliant comedy captures with wit and charm the absurdity and delight of the Victorian age while capturing the struggle of four passionate lovers trying to conform to expectations and love who they wish to love.
Gee鈥檚 Bend will be read March 31 and April 1 in the Center for the Arts Experimental Theatre. Gee鈥檚 Bend depicts the turbulent history of African-Americans in the 20th century by focusing on a single family in the real community of Gee鈥檚 Bend, AL, now famous for the beautiful quilts created by the women that grew up there.
