PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS Seeks New Members During Open Casting Call 7/27

The world's top genital origami attraction, Puppetry of the Penis, is searching for new talent to star in productions around the world. An open casting call will be held on Tuesday, July 27 from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at The Green Room Theater at 45 Bleeker (45 Bleeker Street, NYC). Those who wish to audition must RSVP to puppetryauditions2010@gmail.com. All hopefuls are expected to come prepared.

The new Off-Broadway production of Puppetry of the Penis opens tonight at The Green Room Theater at 45 Bleeker. The 8-week limited engagement features top genital artists Rich Binning and Gavin Stewart - both plucked from obscurity at the 2009 New York City open casting call.

"We have such faith in the unique talents of the residents of New York, and we are beyond excited to see what this year's crop of hopefuls can do," producer David Foster said. "Our show has a wonderful history of exposing the talents of unknown individuals, and that's something we take great pride in. Our current stars, Rich and Gavin, exemplify the spirit of this great city and we never would have found them without an open call."

Literally stretching the human body to its absolute limit, genital artists Rich Binning and Gavin Stewart will present over forty astonishing, now-iconic penis installations including the Pelican, The Windsurfer, The Eiffel Tower, Loch Ness Monster, and their mind-boggling, signature installation: the Hamburger. A handful of breathtaking new installations, including Yoda, Sombrero, and E.T., will be performed for the first time on a New York stage.

Created by Simon Morley and David Friend in 1996, Puppetry of the Penis introduced the world to the ancient Australian art of genital origami. It has been experienced by over 1 million people (including the likes of Hugh Grant, Naomi Campbell, Posh Spice, Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie, Bono and Elton John) in over 14 countries (including the U.S., Great Britain, Australia, Holland, Germany, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Belgium, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal). It has been translated into three languages, had a "how to" book published, been featured on HBO's "Real Sex" since 2002, and had DVD releases throughout the world.

The performance schedule for Puppetry of the Penis is Tuesday through Saturday at 8:00 PM.

Tickets are $49.50 (regular seats) and $79.50 (premium seats) and are now on sale via Telecharge.com/(212) 239-6200 or at the Box Office at 45 Bleecker Street (Hours: Monday: Noon - 5pm - 8pm / Tuesday - Friday: 12:30pm - curtain / Saturday - Sunday: 11:30am - curtain).
