LCCC Theatre Auditions for MEDUSA UNDONE
by Jeremy Benjamin 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

Medusa Undone By Bella Poynton Directed by Stephanie Wilbert Lorain County Community College announces non-equity auditions for our upcoming production of *Medusa Undone.* We are seeking 5-8 performers and various production positions for this production. Story Synopsis: A theatrical retelling of the little-known Medusa origin story. Before she was one of the greatest mythical monsters of all time, Medusa was a kind, beautiful sea-nymph in Athena's service. Unparalleled in both her beauty and devotion to the Gods, Medusa catches the eye of the charming but narcissistic Poseidon. Interested only in the passions of the spirit, and not the flesh, Medusa feels she has no choice but to reject the greedy God. For this, she not only suffers violence at the hand of Poseidon, but also incites a deep-seated jealousy in Athena, with horrific and disturbing consequences. *Medusa Undone* explores how rape culture reverberates through the ages, and calls attention to the great injustice suffered by female victims of abuse. *Roles are available for actors of all genders, ages 18 and older.* - *Medusa*: Female, twenties, a mortal woman from the sea. - *Athena Nike*: Female or nonbinary, thirties to forties, the Goddess of War and Strategy. - *Poseidon*: Male, thirties, the God of the Sea. - *Stheno*: Female or nonbinary, thirties, Medusa's immortal sea-gorgon sister. - *Xenoclea (Xena)*: Female, forties to sixties, the high priestess at the Temple of Athena. LCCC Theatre embraces diversity and inclusion and utilizes a non-traditional casting policy. Non-traditional casting is a method designed to increase artistic options by expanding casting opportunities for women, actors of color, seniors, and actors with disabilities in roles where race, gender, age, or the presence or absence of a disability are not germane. To that end, we encourage all actors to audition, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, or physical ability. Please note that this play contains moments of intimacy. *How to Audition* *Auditions will occur on Tuesday, September 16, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm and Wednesday, September 17 , from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Callbacks, if necessary, will be held on Thursday, September 18, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.* Please review the available slots below and click the button to sign up.
