Seoul Players to Hold Auditions for THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES, Feb.4-5

By: Jennie Mamary Jan. 09, 2012

Seoul Players and Pennyfield Productions announced auditions for their Spring 2012 production of Eve Ensler's THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES, now in its 14th year, on Saturday, February 4, 2012 and Sunday, February 5, 2012.

V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money, and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM), and sex slavery.

Rehearsals begin late February, and the show runs weekends May 4th-12th.

Due to the individual process required for actors and minimal amount of group scenes, each actress will only be called for rehearsal 1-2 times a week. The last week of April will require a greater amount of evening and weekend commitment.

Seoul Players are looking for actresses of all ages, ethnicity, shape and experience. Strong voices, comic timing, compassion, an open mind and fearlessness are key for these roles.

Auditions are Saturday, February 4 from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm and Sunday, February 5 from 2:00 - 5:00 pm in Itaweon, exact location TBA shortly.

*if you are unable to attend the scheduled audition times, Seoul Players may be able to schedule a separate audition to meet your schedule.

Cold readings will be prepared for the audition.

Please contact seoulvday2012@gmail.com or text Barri Tsavaris at 010-3947-2979 with your name and phone number to schedule your audition.

The award-winning play is based on V-Day Founder/playwright Eve Ensler's interviews with more than 200 women. With humor and grace the piece celebrates women’s sexuality and strength. Through this play and the liberation of this one word, countless women throughout the world have taken control of their bodies and their lives. For more than twelve years, The Vagina Monologues has given voice to experiences and feelings not previously exposed in public.

V-Day is more than just a play!...

V-Day is an organized response against violence toward women.
