Mobtown Holds Auditions for EPICOENE, 4/25-26

The Mobtown Players announce auditions for Ben Jonson's hilarious 17th-century comedy, Epicoene: Or the Silent Woman! Auditions will be held Monday and Tuesday, April 25 and 26, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at the Mobtown Theater. Actors may also audition by appointment on Saturday, April 30.

Preparation of a 2 - 5 minute comedic monologue, classical if possible, is preferred but not necessary. Audition sides will be provided. The characters include a dozen male and female roles aged 20s through 50s. Detailed descriptions are available on our website at http://www.mobtownplayers.com/topics/auditions. For this play, we are looking for non-traditional casting. Gender and age is a suggestion for most roles, race is not a consideration.

The show opens June 17 and runs for four weeks.

To arrange an audition appointment, please email nschively@gmail.com.

After a terrific season featuring the workshopping of three new plays, the Mobtown Playwrights Group has selected FOOLS CALL IT FATE, by Jessica McHugh, for a full production this summer. Six characters find themselves entwined in each other's lives, sharing each other's secrets, and enacting each other's darkest fantasies of revenge, in this story of sex, coincidence, and an electronic cigarette.

The show opens July 22 and will run three weekends, through August 6.

Auditions will be held May 17 and May 18 from 7 pm to 9 pm at the Mobtown Theater in Hampden. Please bring a headshot and resume, but you do not need to prepare anything. Sides from the play will be provided. Any questions can be forwarded to the director, Mark C. Franceschin, at markcf2@gmail.com.
