Insurgo Holds Auditions for New Adaptation of LOVES LABOURS LOST

INSURGO THEATER MOVEMENT ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR LOVES LABOURS LOST

A NEW ADAPTATION OF THE PLAY BY William Shakespeare DIRECTED BY John BeanE

"With the big gig approaching, and the shadow of rock god Don Armado threatening to put them out of business, a debauched Euro-Rock band swears off excess as their club is invaded by an all-girl punk group."

General Notes:

The staging of the play is eurorock meets Shakespeare. Roles are available that focus more heavily on the performance of rock or punk and are available that focus more heavily on the spoken word. The songs include rock, euro rap, opera and punk and will be tailored to the cast.

Rehearsals are generally evenings mon-thur 6-10 with some weekends.

The run is Mar 26th - April 17th, Friday and Saturday nights minimum.

A small stipend is paid to actors and crew.
