CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM AUDITIONS FOR THE U.S. PREMIERE OF THIS MUCH (OR AN ACT OF VIOLENCE TOWARDS THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE) BY JOHN FITZPATRICK SUN, JULY 29, 7 PM (possible call-backs Mon, July 30, 7pm) AT THE LIMINIS THEATER 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood GAR isn’t sure what he wants. His boyfriend ANTHONY is the domestic type, nice but highly strung, while ALBERT, the guy Gar has been seeing on the side, is more spontaneous and transgressive. Security or fun – which should he choose? And why should he have to? Gar just wants to dance with his friends! ROLES FOR THREE MEN, TO PLAY MID-20’S TO EARLY 30’S – ANY RACE OR ETHNICITY. DANCE EXPERIENCE AND/OR TRAINING A PLUS FOR ALL THREE ROLES. Some brief nudity may be required for two of the roles. Equity contracts are not available for this production. GAR lives in apparent bliss with cleaning-obsessed boyfriend ANTHONY. Together, they bitch about their straight friends’ weddings and wish their moms were lesbians. Anthony is pressuring Gar into a marriage he sometimes wants and sometimes doesn’t want. But all the while Gar, not yet willing to embrace monogamy, is having an affair with wild kid ALBERT. After that, all collapses into emotional breakdowns and wild displays of seriously outrageous behavior. The ideas looked at by THIS MUCH are incredibly powerful. It successfully exposes and explores how so many aspects of modern life have evolved, yet the ideal of marriage is still coveted by the vast majority of us. The very construct was designed by and for heterosexual couples thousands of years ago, and this play proposes that non-heterosexual relationships should aspire to something different, not defined by custom. ALL THOSE AUDITIONING SHOULD COME AT 7 PM. AUDITIONS WILL CONSIST OF READINGS FROM THE SCRIPT AND MOVEMENT. (COME DRESSED FOR IT.) IF YOU WILL BE AUDITIONING (OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS), PLEASE REPLY TO DIRECTOR, CLYDE SIMON AT CLYDESIMON@SBCGLOBAL.NET. Rehearsals will begin last week of August or first week Sept. Performances open Fri, Oct 12 and run Thurs-Sat through Nov 3. (11 performances)
