The Brewster Theater Company, Inc.

announces auditions for their

Fall 2007 production of

The Importance of Being Earnest  by Oscar Wilde

 

Known as Oscar Wilde’s most hilarious comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest  centers around a pun on the name "Ernest."  John Worthing is "Jack" in the country and "Ernest" in the city. He has met his true love, Gwendolyn, in the city, which he thinks will work out very well for she will only marry a man named Ernest. But what happens when Gwendolyn unexpectedly visits him in the country and finds out who he really is? As Oscar Wilde wrote, "The truth is rarely pure and never simple."

Everyone is always encouraged to audition.

No Experience is necessary!
"I can’t act!", you say. But a theater has many other slots to fill before a production is ready for an audience. Some are: build sets;  write publicity; box office; design programs; ushers; work on the Newsletter; props; costumes;  and on and on and on. So come and find out more about this fun and fulfilling community group!

So what happens when you come?
You'll be asked to read a scene or multiple scenes from the play with several other actors.


Very Important - Bring a list of dates (conflicts) when you will not be available to rehearse.

If you are not cast on your first attempt, don't be discouraged. There are lots of reasons director's cast a show the way they do and you may have an opportunity in another show.
