[NEohioPAL] BTOTS Announces Auditions for a Staged Reading of The Laramie Project

[Donald Albainy]

Brecksville Theater On The Square will continue its 38th season with a staged reading of the powerful drama The Laramie Project.
 
Written by Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project, this is the story of Matthew Shepard, a twenty-one year old student at the University of Wyoming who, in 1998, was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence outside of Laramie, Wyoming...because he was gay. The authors of this play spent a year and a half monitoring the trial of his killers, and interviewing more than 200 people from the area. This heart-renching drama is the result of those interviews, creating a theatrical collage which explores the depths to which humanity can sink, as well as the heights of compassion that can be reached.

Directed by Robert Gibb, the production will run August 24th and 25th, 2012. Open auditions will be held Sunday, June 3rd at 2:00 and Monday, June 4th at 7:00 at BTOTS' Blossom Hill facility on Oakes Road (please see website for directions). There are roles for 4 men and 4 women, and all parts are available. Registration for auditions will begin at 1:45 Sunday and 6:45 Monday, with auditions beginning promptly. Prospective cast members must be 18 years of age or older, and are asked to bring a headshot, theatrical resume and a full list of conflicts. Auditioners will be asked to read from the script. There will be no formal callbacks.
