[NEohioPAL] CPT seeking large, diverse cast! Auditions this weekend! REVISED

Cleveland Public Theatre announces auditions for

The Other Shore

by Gao Xingjian

directed by Raymond Bobgan

Seeking men and women, ages 20-60 for a multi-cultural cast. Physical theatre background a plus, but not a requirement. Singing is a plus, but not a requirement. Looking to form a balanced cast of 7-12 actors who work well together and who are highly curious, disciplined, and creative.

Gao Xingjian is a Chinese Nobel Laureate playwright living in exile. The Other Shore is considered one of Xingjian’s seminal works. Banned in China , The Other Shore follows a surrealistic stream-of-conscious narrative about discovering one’s individuality. The play is in the “physical theatre” style. This will be the second major production of this script in the United States . The play is directed by CPT Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan.

Auditions will be conducted in three hour sessions with small groups. Auditioners should prepare a short monologue (2 minutes MAX) and may sing (OPTIONAL) 8 bars a cappella. Group work will also be included in the audition.

Rehearsals for The Other Shore begin March 24 with performances May 22^nd through June 14^th.

Audition times are as follows:

Saturday, January 26^th: 5:00pm – 8:00pm
