Auditions for LYSISTRATA on Nov. 28

When Aristophanes wrote LYSISTRATA around 413 B.C., it was a comedy hit. The modern English translation of this rollicking play is still laugh-out-loud funny. WIT, a new acting troupe, will perform LYSISTRATA January 19, 25, 26, 2013, at the First Unitarian Church.

AUDITIONS will be held at the First Unitarian Church, 536 Linton Street, Cincinnati, OH 45209, November 28, at 7 p.m. Please bring a headshop and an acting resume. Auditions will be cold reads.

MALES should look somewhere between 25 and 85 years of age. There is an abundance of male roles. Here’s your chance to be: an armed guard, a herald, a magistrate, an ambassador or delegate, a slave or attendant, the leader of the men’s chorus or a member of the non-singing Greek Chorus.

FEMALES should also look like adults in the same age range. The major roles have been cast. There are opportunities to be a member of the Greek Chorus or to have a secondary role.

Note to potential auditioners : The original acting ensemble looked Greek and spent a lot of time partially or fully nude on stage. You don’t need to look Greek. You will wear a costume .

Want to know more before the audition, you can contact Director Donna Hoffman at sumytra@gmail.com.
