Show Shakespeare Auditions Jan 18 & 19 The Intermoiintain Actors Ensemble is looking for actors who want to try Shakespeare. 1AE has scheduled sche-duled tryouts at the Prospector Prospec-tor Square Theater Monday, January 18 and Tuesday, January 19 at 7 p.m. for its production of "The Taming of the Shrew." Scripts for scenes between lead characters "Petruchio" and "Kate" are available at the front desk of the Prospector Hotel and Convention Con-vention Center. In addition to the two leads "Shrew" offers two more excellent women's parts, Kate's sister "Bianca" and the comedy character "the widow." The men are offered "Baptista Minola," the much-put-upon father of Kate and Bianca; "Vincentio" a merchant of Pisa; "Lucehtio," "Gremio" and "Hortension"--all suitors suit-ors for the hand of Bianca. "Traino," "Biondello," "Grumio" and "Curtis" are the zany servants and there is the great clown of the play, "Christopher Sly." The IAE production is under Ron Burnett's direction direct-ion who says his version will be a "knock-about comedy" in the style of the A.C.T. production featured some years ago on public television. televis-ion. "It will be great fun for all involved," says Burnett, "those interested shouldn't be worried about being able to do Shakespeare. Shrew is the best show of his to learn the style and language." IAE will perform the play during the last weekend in March and the first weekend in April. Burnett says, "if you've always wanted to play Shakespeare, now is your chance. See you at the tryouts." Those interested in auditioning can call Burnett at 649-6208 for more information. |
