Performers Needed for Production of "Utopia, Limited"

The company is holding auditions for March 2024 production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Utopia, Limited and looking for actors, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Utopia, Limited is satire aimed at corporate structure and greed, as well as governmental structures and party politics. It is also a unique Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, in which the driving force of the action is a college educated woman, Princess Zara, who takes it upon herself to reform her nation’s governmental and societal structures for the better. Princess Zara and her fiancé aren’t the typical operetta hero and heroine, struggling to be together, but already have a loving, mutually respectful relationship. In addition, Princess Zara’s two sisters are encouraged to reject the restrictive rules by which they’ve lived their lives and to be themselves. In these ways, Utopia, Limited is a remarkably progressive story with a very contemporary message. Rate: All performers will be offered a stipend of $200.00.
