Auditions: ARMS AND THE MAN
Aug 13 @ 10:30 am – 2:30 pm
ACT

ARMS AND THE MAN

By George Bernard Shaw

Directed by Jim Reid

AUDITIONS: August 13, 2019, 10:30 am-2:30 pm

PRODUCTION DATES: August 30-September 1, 2019

REHEARSALS: August 15, 20, 22, 27 and 29, 2019 from 10:30-2:30

DIRECTOR SEEKS: 3 women, 5 men

Director Jim Reid seeks a cast of 8 (3 women, 5 men) for this comedy that’s often viewed as Shaw’s wittiest play! This is a borderline farce that will stimulate serious thinking about the nature of both romance and war. What is Raina to do when she finds that an enemy soldier has taken refuge in her room? What will her fiancee say? The plot, of course, thickens! Performed as Readers Theatre as a part of The Autumn Players’ Readers Theatre Showcase Series.

Auditions are open to all in the community; no previous experience required. All audition material provided at the auditions!
