Milford Holds Casting Call for
George Orwell’s
Animal Farm
January 29 and 31
NEW MILFORD, CONN. (Jan 2, 2017) – TheatreWorks New
Milford is seeking a cast for George Orwell’s satirical drama, Animal Farm, adapted by Ian Wooldridge
on Sunday January 29 and Tuesday January 31 from 7 pm to 9 pm. The director, Kevin Sosbe of New Milford, CT,
is seeking about a dozen adventurous, creative people of all
genders and ages,12 and up, although this will be a predominantly adult cast. All physical types, genders, sizes, and
ethnicities of people are encouraged to audition. In this production we will be
creating a barnyard of creatures that will commit to embodying the animal
quality of their characters. There will be doubling or tripling of several
roles, TBD.
Animal Farm is perhaps the most famous political novel of all time. George Orwell's
satire on Stalinism has proved magnificently long-lived as a parable about
totalitarianism anywhere and has given the world at least one immortal phrase:
Some animals are more equal than others. The animals on the farm
drive out their master and take over and run the farm for themselves. The
experiment is successful, except that someone has to take the deposed farmer's
place. Leadership devolves upon the pigs, which are cleverer than the rest of
the animals. Unfortunately, their character is not equal to their intelligence.
This will be an open audition, however if
you cannot make the dates listed, please email director Kevin Sosbe at
krs66@charter.net to arrange an appointment on an
alternate date. Auditions will be held at TheatreWorks, 5 Brookside Ave., New Milford, CT (next

professionals and amateurs are welcome. TheatreWorks offers a stipend to all
performers, technicians, and directors. For character breakdowns,
