Audition - The Transylvanian Clockworks

AUDITION NOTICE

Beowulf Alley Theatre

The Transylvanian Clockworks by Don Nigro

 

 

Beowulf Alley Theatre Company is holding auditions for the part of Jack Seward (male, 30 years old) in The Transylvanian Clockworks by Don Nigro. Readings will take place by appointment only beginning Wednesday evening, July 28th at the theatre. E-mail director Dave Sewell (The First Third, Wait Until Dark, Arcadia) at dndsewell@cox.net for information or to schedule an appointment.

 

The Transylvanian Clockworks is an imaginative, unconventional, and often wickedly funny re-thinking of the Dracula myth by American playwright Don Nigro. Dr. Jack Seward, a former student of the eminent Dr. Van Helsing, is the superintendent of a London insane asylum. Seward’s most puzzling patient is family friend Jonathan Harker, who is acting quite strangely since his return from a recent trip to Transylvania, but Dr. Seward may have issues of his own.

 

The rehearsal period for this Beowulf Alley production will begin on or around August 30th with Technical Rehearsals running Oct. 11-22. Performances will run Thursday – Saturday evenings at 7:30p and Sunday matinees at 1:30p, October 23rd – November 7th.

 

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Actors will be asked to bring a copy of their resume and a photo (if available).
