Auditions January 27th and 28th!! Coach House Theatre is seeking a diverse and absurd cast for the area premiere of ‘Bach at Leipzig', a hilarious farce by Itamar Moses Never heard of it? You're about to! The critics have said it's....“A fleet-footed, quick-witted, brain-teasing farce. It's a joy.” – San Francisco Chronicle “If you like super-smart silliness, be ready to laugh until your ribs are sore. A who's-on-first farce full of theatrical trickery and fizzy verbal slapstick.” – The Wall Street Journal (NOTE: Prospective diverse and absurd Stage Managers, Designers and Crews please email jtbuck@akronwomanscityclub.org with resume and availability.) Cast Requirements: You must be interested in playing for the fun, because our actors (at least currently) are volunteers. The production runs April 12th - 29th. If all goes well, perhaps longer. If all goes even better, perhaps shorter. Casting is open to all genders, races, religious ideologies, a wide variety of ages, and even those unusually susceptible to pollen. The Characters: JOHANN FRIEDRICH FASCH - organist and Kapellmeister at Zerbst, fifties. GEORG BALTHASAR SCHOTT - organist at the Neuekirche in Leipzig, fifties.

In a very nice, old garage behind a very nice old mansion. Callbacks, only if needed, will be scheduled based on auditioner’s availability. About the Play: Leipzig, Germany — 1722. The top music gig in all of Germany is up for grabs. In an age where musicians depend on patronage from the nobility or the church, the post at a prominent church in a cultured city is a near guarantee of fame and fortune -which is why some of the candidates are willing to resort to any lengths to secure it. And we mean ANY. Featuring dazzling wordplay, a requisite number of doorslams, chases and hiding behind doors, and of course the glorious music of you-know-who.....BACH AT LEIPZIG is a fugue-like farcical web of bribery, blackmail, and betrayal set against the backdrop of Enlightenment questions about humanity, God, and art.
