TheatreWorks to Hold Auditions for THE IRISH CURSE, 1/9 & 10
TheatreWorks New Milford is seeking a cast of 5 men, ages 20 to 55 for its debut production of the 2012 season, the scathing modern comedy The Irish Curse by Martin Casella.
What “The Irish Curse” is – and how it manifests itself – is the raw centerpiece of this wicked, rollicking, and very funny new play. Size matters to a small group of Irish-American men who meet weekly in a Catholic church basement in New York City as part of a self-help group for guys who possess a certain anatomical “shortcoming.” This alleged Irish trait is the focus of their weekly sessions as they all feel this “curse” has ruined their lives. The Irish Curse is a revealing portrait of how men, and society, define masculinity, male identity, and the relationships men must face each and every day of their lives.
Auditions will be held at TheatreWorks, 5 Brookside Ave., New Milford (next to the CVS) on Monday, January 9 and Tuesday, January 10 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
THE IRISH CURSE is under the direction of Robin Frome of New Milford.
For more information and questions, auditioners may contact the Theatre at info@theatreworks.us or by calling 860-350-6863.
Auditions will consist of reading from the script. All roles are available and both professionals and amateurs are welcome. No appointments are necessary. TheatreWorks offers a stipend to all performers, technicians, and directors. For character breakdowns and directions, visit: www.theatreworks.us/actors.
Rehearsals begin in January with performances beginning March 2 and running through March 24 on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sunday, March 18.
