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

[Mindy Herman]

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 long 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 22nd
through June 14th.

 

Audition times are as follows:

 

Sunday, February 10th: 10:00am - 12:30pm
