Heller Theatre is having open auditions at its new location for The Good Woman of Setzuan by Bertolt Brecht, translated by Eric Bentley, on Saturday, March 13th at 3:00 pm. Auditions will take place at the Heller Theatre 4825 S. Quaker.

A large cast of 12-24 is needed for the production; some parts may be double cast.

3-4 teenagers are needed ages 13-18

6-10 women needed ages 25-80's

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script and some improvisations.

One of the classic plays of world literature, "The Good Woman of Setzuan" tells a story both fantastic and hilariously real. When three gods come to earth in search of a good person, they encounter Shen Teh, a good-hearted but penniless woman of the night. They reward her kindness with enough money to open her own tobacco shop. Soon, however, Shen Teh discovers that her kindness is threatening to drive her out of business. She invents a male alter ego, Shui Ta, to deal ruthlessly with the business of living in an evil world.

Performances are May 14-15 and 20-22 at 8:00 pm and Sunday, May 23 at 2:00 pm.

Heller Theatre has moved to a new location. Heller @ Henthorne is located at 4825 S. Quaker. Call 746-5065 for more information or visit our website at www.hellertheatre.com.
