Cleveland Public Theatre announces auditions for 

The Other Shore 

by Gao Xingjian 

 

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 two-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.
