[JT]

Auditions January 27th and 28th!!

Coach House Theatre is seeking a diverse and absurd cast for the area
premiere of ‘Bach at Leipzig', a hilarious farce by Itamar Moses

Never heard of it? You're about to!
The critics have said it's....“A fleet-footed, quick-witted, brain-teasing
farce. It's a joy.” – San Francisco Chronicle

“If you like super-smart silliness, be ready to laugh until your ribs are
sore. A who's-on-first farce full of theatrical trickery and fizzy verbal
slapstick.” – The Wall Street Journal


(NOTE: Prospective diverse and absurd Stage Managers, Designers and Crews
please email jtbuck at akronwomanscityclub.org with resume and availability.)

Cast Requirements:

You must be interested in playing for the fun, because our actors (at least
currently) are volunteers.

The production runs April 12th - 29th. If all goes well, perhaps longer. If
all goes even better, perhaps shorter.

Casting is open to all genders, races, religious ideologies, a wide variety
of ages, and even those unusually susceptible to pollen.

The Characters:

JOHANN FRIEDRICH FASCH - organist and Kapellmeister at Zerbst, fifties.
GEORG BALTHASAR SCHOTT - organist at the Neuekirche in Leipzig, fifties.
GEORG LENCK - organist and Kantor at Laucha, late thirties.
JOHANN MARTIN STEINDORFF - organist and Kantor at Zwickau, twenties.
GEORG FRIEDRICH KAUFMANN - organist and Kantor at Merseburg, fifties.
GEORG FRIEDRICH GRAUPNER - organist and Kapellmeister at Dramstadt, fifties.
THE GREATEST ORGANIST IN GERMANY - organist and Kantor at Hamburg.

The Georg's outnumber the Johann's 2 to 1!

Auditions, by appointment:
11 am – 1pm. Saturday, January 27th
6pm-8pm. Sunday, January 28th

better.

nice, old garage behind a very nice old mansion.

availability.

About the Play:

Leipzig, Germany — 1722. The top music gig in all of Germany is up for
grabs. In an age where musicians depend on patronage from the nobility or
the church, the post at a prominent church in a cultured city is a near
guarantee of fame and fortune -which is why some of the candidates are
willing to resort to any lengths to secure it. And we mean ANY.

Featuring dazzling wordplay, a requisite number of doorslams, chases and
hiding behind doors, and of course the glorious music of
you-know-who.....BACH AT LEIPZIG is a fugue-like farcical web of bribery,
blackmail, and betrayal set against the backdrop of Enlightenment questions
about humanity, God, and art.
