All auditions will be held at Lakeland Community College's Performing Arts Center (PAC). Sorry, no Equity contracts for this production. No need to prepare a monologue.  I will have you read directly from the script.   ALL ROLES ARE WELL COMPENSATED.
 
Production and Rehearsal dates:
Death of a Salesman will open on Friday, February 5 and run through February 21, 2010-- Friday through Sunday. There are two shows on Saturday, February 13. Of course you will be compensated for all performances. Rehearsals will begin soon after the Thanksgiving Holiday. Don't worry we will work around vacation schedules. THERE WILL ALSO BE TWO STUDENT MATINEES (THAT WILL BE COMPENSATED ALSO) probably on Friday, February 13 and 20, 2010; 9:30am till 12noon). As is my practice, you will not be called for rehearsal unless needed. Salesman is easily broken down into French Scenes. 
 
EACH CHARACTER IS  WONDERFUL AND COMPELLINGLY DRAWN. SURELY EACH OF THESE ROLES WILL BE CHALLENGING AND FUN TO PLAY. A VERY THEATRICAL PIECE.  
 
The Roles:
Biff Loman -  Willy’s elder son. Between 30 and 34. 
Linda Loman -  Willy’s loyal, loving wife. Late 40's through 50's. Willy is in his late 50's.

Happy Loman -  Willy’s younger son. Between 28 and 32. Happy has lived in Biff’s shadow all of his life.
