BRATTLEBORO — Vermont Theatre Company announces auditions for Goldoni's “The Servant of Two Masters,” directed by Jessa Rowan, on Sunday, Aug. 17, at 3 p.m., and Monday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m., in the Chill Room/Room 2-D of Marlboro College Graduate Center, 28 Vernon St.
“The Servant of Two Masters,” adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher and Paolo Emilio Landi, is a modern Italian commedia adapted from Carlo Goldoni's play, written in 1743. It is a hilarious, convoluted story of mistaken identities, disguises, miscommunication, and matters of honor by which true lovers are kept apart - and then, as if by clockwork - reunited.
This show seeks actors willing to take chances on stage by making their characters larger than life through exaggerated and heightened movements. No experience is necessary, but actors with clowning and dance experience are strongly encouraged to apply.
If you are unable to attend either of the auditions or to arrive on time, write the director at [email protected] to make other arrangements.
Eleven roles are available for all genders and ages. Auditioners will be asked to read selected scenes and participate in physical improvisation exercises. Copies of the script are on reserve at Brooks Memorial Library.
Show dates are Oct. 30 and Nov. 1, 6, 7, 8, and 9 at Evening Star Grange in Dummerston.
