OPEN THEATRE AUDITIONS for What We're Up Against by Theresa Rebeck
September 6 & 7 at 6 p.m.
Kent State University at Stark
Fine Arts Theatre
6000 Frank Avenue NW
North Canton, Ohio 44720

The Kent State University at Stark Theatre has announced open auditions for the first theatrical production of the season, What We're Up Against by Theresa Rebeck, and directed by Kent State Stark Associate Professor of Theatre and Theatre Director Brian Newberg. Auditions are open to everyone, including students and community persons. We encourage diversity in our casting.

What We're Up Against features Eliza, an intelligent and impetuous female associate at a male-dominated architecture firm, who challenges boundaries and sexist rules in her dog-eat-dog profession. Watch as she takes a whack at outdated office politics to break through the glass ceiling, and rocks the architecture world to its core in this in-your-face dark comedy.

Auditions will be held on September 6 and 7 at 6 p.m. in the Fine Arts Theatre, 6000 Frank Avenue NW in Jackson Township.

Roles are available for two women and three men. No children. Those auditioning may perform a prepared monologue, if they wish, and the director may also choose sides (selected scene excerpts) to perform. The production will be performed November 11 - 20 in the Kent State Stark Theatre. Rehearsals will begin September 12, and will occur five evenings a week until opening.

Scripts are available for perusal for periods up to 24 hours from the Fine Arts secretary (330-244-5151), Monday through Friday, during business hours (8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.). The campus will be closed on September 5, in observance of the holiday. Audition appointments are recommended, but not required. Scripts will also be available in the reserve area of the Stark Campus Library.
