[NEohioPAL] Auditions: "The Flying Doctor" - virtual production by Equality Productions

[Richard Zenk]

Equality Productions happily announces auditions for the virtual production
of the comedy "The Flying Doctor" by Molière directed by Gabriel Brosius.
Hilarious? Absolutely. Commedia and The Marx Brothers meet modern humor?
Heck yeah. A couple of lines in French to tie the piece back to its roots?
Sure, why not?



This director's take on the play will be collaborative and inventive. So
audition on Sunday, August 16th from 5-8P or Monday, August 17th from 6-8P.
Please prepare one of the sides available on the sign-up page. You may also
present a comedic monologue up to one minute as well. Sign up at this link
(note the audition times are listed in CST):
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0B4EABA62DABFD0-theflying. Then please
email your theater resume and headshot to the director at
gmbrosius at gmail.com prior to your audition.



Callbacks are scheduled for Tuesday, August 18th from 6-8P. If that time
does not work for you,  please let the director know at the time of your
audition.


Non-union. This production will be done as a fundraiser and therefore these
roles will not be paid. All rehearsals will take place online in a Zoom
format. The tentative rehearsal schedule is 3-4 rehearsals a week for 4
weeks starting on Saturday, August 22th. Actors will not be called for
every rehearsal. The show will be recorded in late September.



Synopsis: Lucile wants to marry Valère, but her father Gorgibus says no.
Fortunately, Gorgibus is quite dense, so Valère gets his servant Sganarelle
to help. Sganarelle, desperate to earn a buck or two, pretends to be a
doctor, recommending that Lucile goes to a place where she can “hang” with
Valère. Mayhem and mischief quickly ensue when Sganarelle is spotted by
Gorgibus in his servant garb. He spins a tale of a doctor and his twin
brother and all of a sudden he’s jumping back and forth through a window to
deceive good ol’ Gorgibus.
