THE HISTORY BOYS
The Prizewinning New British Satire on Education
By Alan Bennett

If your work is not known by the director, please prepare a short 
contemporary    monologue. Others will be asked to read from the script and attempt a 
dialect.

Rehearsals: to begin approximately February 1.

Performance Dates: March 6 through March 30 on the Mainstage 

Casting Requirements: 
    8 young men (16-28) who can play high school seniors. One must sing       
        tenor, and one must play piano. This should be an ethnically diverse  
            group of working class boys from Yorkshire who have qualified to 
take             the entrance exam for Oxford and  Cambridge.            
    1 actor 26-38, to play Irwin, the new teacher brought in to coach the 
boys in             the "tricks of test taking."  
    2 mature actors 50-70, to play the ambitious headmaster, and Hector, the  
            charismatic teacher, pushing retirement, who tries to give his 
boys a             lifelong passion  for learning and living; and, perhaps, 
loves them too           much. 
    1 mature actress 45-65, to play Mrs. Lintott, a veteran teacher and       
        feminist who views modern education with a sense of irony.

Note: Area students wishing to read for "The Boys" but having conflicts the 
4th & 5th may also book appointments for Tuesday, November 13th from 5:00 to 
6:30PM.
