[NEohioPAL] Auditions for OPUS, by Michael Hollinger at Clague Playhouse

[Craig Joseph]

Clague Playhouse announces upcoming auditions for its production of OPUS,
by Michael Hollinger.

*Show Dates: *January 24-February 16, 2024

*The Story: *After firing one of their founding members due to his erratic
behavior, a world-class string quartet takes a chance on a gifted but
relatively inexperienced young woman. With only a few days to rehearse a
grueling Beethoven masterpiece, the four struggle to prepare their
highest-profile performance ever—a televised ceremony at the White House.
Their rehearsal room becomes a pressure-cooker as passions rise,
personalities clash, and the players are forced to confront the ephemeral
nature of their life’s work. Recipient of the Barrymore Award for
Outstanding New Play, a Steinberg New Play Citation from the American
Theatre Critics Association, and nominations for Lucille Lortel and John
Gassner Awards for Best New Play.
