In a massive outpouring of volunteer spirit from New York's acting community, GORILLA REPERTORY THEATER has had record numbers of professional actors request an audition for roles in its free, outdoor world premiere production of JOAN OF ARC by Robert Steven Ackerman. GORILLA REP plans to accommodate each & every one of these civic-minded artists by hosting a massive audition event in Central Park, where they will audition for Founding Artistic & Producing Director Christopher Carter Sanderson, personally. Sanderson plans on seeing over 800 actors (at last count) on Monday, June 1st at 9am & 1pm.

GORILLA REP'S "Summer 2009 Audition Event" will be held at Central Park's Summit Rock, near 85th Street & Central Park West. The actors, scheduled for specific times, will be performing 3-minute Shakespearean monologues. Callbacks will be informed after the four-day event is concluded.
