[NEohioPAL] AUDITION NOTICE for Dobama Theatre: Paul Rudnick's The New Century

[Julie Friedman]

DOBAMA Theatre

Audition Notice for THE NEW CENTURY by Paul Rudnick
 
Synopsis: "The one-liners fly like rockets in THE NEW CENTURY, the
rollicking bill of short plays by Paul Rudnick.  Building on time-honored
traditions within gay and Jewish humor, Mr. Rudnick turns stereotypes into
bullet-deflecting armor and jokes into an inexhaustible supply of
ammunition.Frivolity for his characters is a solid existential choice in a
threatening universe." -NY Times.  THE NEW CENTURY is a funny and outrageous
comedy, but it doesn't stop there. Mr. Rudnick is in a provocative mood, and
the resulting work, set in New York City in the present day, raises
questions not easily answered.
