David Ives'
POLISH JOKE
(A Cleveland Premiere!)
Will audition at The Beck Center on....
Tuesday, November 16th @7PM
and
Wednesday, November 17th @7PM
Roles are available for 3 men and 2 Women. Age range is
approximately 20 to 50.
Director Jerrold Scott (CWRU Professor of Theatre) seeks
a versatile cast of wildly inventive comic actors! 4 of the 5
roles double....no triple....no....quadruple.... Well, you get the idea.
"Polish Joke" performs in Beck's intimate Studio Theatre
beginning April 8th and plays through May 1st. Rehearsals
will begin in late February. Both AEA and non-AEA actors are sought!!! No
appointments necessary. Auditions will consist of reading from the script.
Comic monologues, however, will be welcome by the director.
All performers, 18 years of age and older, are compensated for their
participation.
About The Play: "Polish Joke is a comedy about ethnic identity and the
eternal American search for "roots". Jasiu
is a Polish-American who has been taught not to value his own roots, so he
decides to make his own roots, reinventing
himself first as a sort of non-ethnic Everyman, then as an "Irishman". His
adventures---alternately zany and heart- breaking---take him on a semi-surreal
journey, and in the attempt to break from his natural heritage, he finds out
who he is and what it means to be "Polish."
"......furiously funny and endearingly foolish." ---New York Magazine
"......a funny yet thoughtful examination of the Polishness and Jewishness
and Irishness that makes us at once alike and different." ---Curtain Up
David Ives is one of the freshest new comedic voices writing today! Mr. Ives
has also penned "All In The Timing", "Lives of the Saints", and "Mere
Mortals."
