*AUDITIONS: THE PILLOWMAN FEBRUARY 11th and FEBRUARY 12th *
Tacoma, WA- Tacoma Little Theatre is holding auditions for its production
of The Pillowman, directed by Blake York.
Auditions will be held Sunday, February 11th and Monday, February 12th at
Tacoma Little Theatre. Audition appointments will be set between the times
of 6:00pm-9:00pm on Sunday and 7:00pm-10:00pm on Monday. Callbacks will be
held on Thursday, February 15th.
Martin McDonagh echoes the works of Stoppard, Kafka, and the Brothers Grimm
in this New York Drama Critics' Circle and Olivier Award winning script.
The Pillowman is a viciously funny and seriously disturbing tale of
Katurian, a fiction writer in an unnamed totalitarian state. Katurian and
his brother Michael are brought in for questioning by two bulldog
detectives, Tupolski and Ariel, when the content of his short stories -
which involve disturbingly gruesome tales - begin to resemble real-life
murders. The Pillowman weaves between reality and storytelling; and the
result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching
examination of the very nature and purpose of art.
Please prepare a contemporary monologue not to exceed 2 minutes. Part of
the audition may include a cold reading. Actors of all ethnicities are
encouraged to audition. All roles are available: Katurian (male late
20s-mid 30s), Michal (late 20s-mid 30s), Tupolski (male or female mid 30s
or older), Ariel (male or female med 30s or older), Mother (female, any
age, non-speaking), Father (any age, non-speaking), Girl (age 8-13,
