*Lakeland Theatre* *Seeking a * *SOUND DESIGNER* *for* *The Inspector General* By *Nikolai Gogol* H This is clearly a paid position. The Inspector General opens on September 13. This is a great play. *The Play:* This play is the epitome of a satire. Hollywood made a movie with Danny Kaye that bore no resemblance to the play. Written in 1836 in Russia, by Nikolai Gogol, *The Inspector General or as it is sometimes called The Government Inspector,* is a comedy of errors that ridicules political corruption, local corruption, indeed corruption at all levels; this play lampoons everybody and everything. I need actors that are ready take these characters as far as they can. Truth is always funnier than fake news. *The Plot: **The corrupt officials of a small town, headed by the Mayor, react with terror to the news that an undercover inspector will soon be arriving in their town to investigate them. The Mayor, after years of shaking down all the crooked city department heads himself, is freaked out. As the public officials all try to cover up their misdeeds, a suspicious person has arrived and is staying at the local hotel. That person, however, is not an inspector, but a smart guy on the take. Sick and tired of the Mayor’s demand for bribes, the department heads try to buy off the griffter with the Mayor’s wife and daughter also trying to get in the act. * Directed by *Martin Friedman* Set Designed by *Craig Tucker * Lighting Designed by *Marcus Dana* Costumes Designed by *Jordan Cooper * *Production and Rehearsal Dates:* *The Inspector General **will open on Friday, September 13 and run through Sunday, September 29, 2019.
