Rubber Rep Auditions

[shando]

Josh and Matt are two of the most intense theater artists in Austin. You might want to contemplate this if you're looking for a challenge:

Brace yourselves. We're having open auditions for Wallace Shawn's A Thought in Three Parts on February 10th, with callbacks to follow on February 11th.

While this is the most traditional play we've ever done (characters, dialogue, a SET, etc.), it's also the most outrageous play you'll ever read. How outrageous? So much so that it's never been produced in the United States. The New York Shakespeare Festival had a workshop in 1976, but since then nothing, nada, zilch. "The play has not been revived and stands as a permanent challenge to anyone who has the attitude that anything can be revived... the play can now almost not be read." says a prominent critic.

As this is probably our one and only chance to premiere a play by this playwright we love so deeply, we're pulling out all the stops. The Vortex (always a champion of controversial work) is co-producing. The amazing Carlos Treviño is co-directing. Matt and I are even stepping into two of the naughtier roles that we weren't sure we'd be able to cast.

We're looking for 2 male and 2 female actors, aged 18-35. Roles available: David, Sarah, Helen , Tom. Please note: The role of "Helen" involves nudity and a ridiculous amount of sexual content. Rehearsals begin April 1, with performances in May. Auditions will consist of readings from the script and will be held at the Vortex, 2307 Manor. To schedule an appointment, call (512) 825-3071 or email rubberrep@gmail.com.
