The Dresser - Minneapolis, MN-Minneapolis, MN - Casting ID # 123353 Project Type Live Event Submission Type SRN Location Minneapolis, MN Union Non-union Rate/Pay n/a Release Date 07-04-07 Audition Date n/a Submission deadline 07-20-08 Casting Category Theatre - Non-Equity The Dresser by Ronald Harwood September 7-30, 2007 In a provincial English theatre during the Blitz, a once-great, aging actor prepares for his 227th performance as Lear -- but he?s having trouble remembering who and where he is, let alone his lines. As the bombs fall and he faces total collapse, his devoted dresser Norman fights valiantly to get him onstage once more. With sharp comedy and heart-breaking drama, this engrossing play has become one of the most acclaimed in modern theatre. The best sort of drama, fascinating us on the surface with color and humor, and then revealing the truth underneath. Roger Ebert Auditions are open to everyone in the community. All roles are unpaid. All roles in each production are available -- no roles are pre-cast. Of last season's total 136 roles, 73 roles, including principals, were cast with actors who had not previously acted at Theatre in the Round. We hire professional artistic directors for each production. The artistic directors conduct their own auditions and callbacks, so the process varies from show to show (e.g., readings from the script vs. prepared monologues). All casting decisions are made solely by the director. The theatre encourages its directors in diverse casting (ethnic/racial background, gender, disability, etc.). Scripts are available to read at the theatre during weekday business hours and at the audition. Scripts cannot leave the building. Unless otherwise noted below, the front door is unlocked at 6 pm and auditions begin at 7 pm, continuing until everyone is seen. No appointments: people are seen in the order they arrive.
