Audition for ‘Macbett’
GILROY – Gavilan College Theatre is holding auditions for “Macbett”, a theater-of-the-absurd parallel to Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” by Eugene Ionesco, on Thursday, Jan. 30 and Monday Feb. 3 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
No experience is needed, there are roles for both men and women and all of the characters are adults. Like Shakespeare’s original, it is a piece about treachery and the overthrow of a government. The script deals with war and politics in modern, accessible language. “Macbett” replaces “Auntie Mame” which had originally been scheduled for Gavilan College Theatre’s Spring production.
Actors may prepare two contrasting monologues or come prepared to do improvisational material. Auditions will be held at the Gavilan College Theatre: 5055 Santa Teresa Blvd. Director Jim Cave, can be reached by e-mail at ig********@ao*.com.
