Audition Notice: The Assemblywomen by HeadTrick Theatre

May 8, 9, 10 from 6-8pm. Live auditions, conducted via video chat. 

One memorized comedic monologue

Participation is on a volunteer basis; a small honorarium may be paid depending on available funding. 

It may be primarily community/amateur theatre, but if you're interested in site-specific work and in presenting a piece that has immediate commentary on our present political and social developments, it does sound like a pretty interesting project.) 

Details:

Head Trick Theatre seeks actors of all races/ethnicities, ages, and gender identities for THE ASSEMBLYWOMEN! Women seize control of the government and turn the city upside-down in Aristophanes’s chaotic farce, to be directed by Rebecca Maxfield and performed Summer 2022 in various locations throughout Providence.

Auditions will be held over video chat on Sunday, May 8th, Monday, May 9, and Tuesday, May 10 (6-8pm each day). Please fill out this form, and we will send you a video chat link and a timeslot: https://forms.gle/DqeQXJs1h3YLWaGP6

Please prepare one memorized comedic monologue. No recorded (non-live) auditions will be accepted. If you are unable to make these times, contact us at headtricktheatre@gmail.com and we will see if it is possible to accommodate you. We would love to see auditions from actors with a background in improv, comedy, or similar as well as a more conventional theatre background.

Participation is on a volunteer basis; a small honorarium may be paid depending on available funding.
