<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">One of Israel’s most beloved plays,
<i>Requiem </i>is a contemplation on mortality. An old village couple approach the end of life; a coachman just wants to listen to him mourning his son’s death; a young mother refuses to cry over her dying baby; a group of drunkards and prostitutes scheme about
how to fulfill their desires. They are all questioning the meaning of life, of suffering, of loneliness and unhappiness, with no answer in sight. A masterful
<i>mélange </i>of storytelling and role-playing, one of Levin’s most successful plays worldwide.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Key dates: first rehearsal: January 15; preview: March 14; opening March 16; closing April 7.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">ABOUT THE PROCESS… <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:#222222">This rehearsal process will be unconventional in nature. It will be based in script analysis, character analysis, and arc of action, while also including significant
movement and vocal work. Actors will be asked to make strong proposals, be generous, and meet given deadlines. The play requires surreal and abstract approaches as well as realism.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:#222222">This production will adhere to the CLEan House Standards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:#222222">Rehearsals are 5-6 times a week, with evening weekday rehearsals and some daytime weekend rehearsals. This is a paid opportunity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
