CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM AUDITIONS SATURDAY, MAY 19TH, 2-4 pm for

THE CASUAL TREE WARD  BY ROBERT HAWKES

DIRECTED BY SUSAN SOLTIS

at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood

World premiere!  The goddess Freyja (or is she?) is tending Yggdrasil, the World Ash Thee (or is it?), trying to protect it from increasing drought. An itinerant water-bearer tries to persuade Freyja to go with him to where water is plentiful. She refuses. Does the world really depend on this single tree, or is this a self-generating myth? All is made clear (or is it?) when Odin, the One-Eyed God (or is he?) shows up to resolve all questions and save us all (or can he?).

Roles for two men, one woman. (See description in paragraph above.) All three roles are available. Ages flexible.

The play will open Friday, August 24th and run Thu-Sat through September 15th (11 performances) at convergence-continuum’s Liminis Theater.  Rehearsals will begin in mid-July.  Actors will be paid a stipend for their participation. (No Equity contracts are available for this production.)

Please prepare a pair of contrasting monologues not to exceed three minutes in combined time. You may be asked also to read from the script.

If you are new to convergence-continuum, or think you might be unfamiliar to Robert Hawkes (playwright will be present), please bring headshot and résumé.

Auditions will be scheduled in 15-minute slots for four applicants.  Email Robert Hawkes at rhhawkes@gmail.com (note second “h”) to schedule a time.
