Performers Needed for "The Lady Demands Satisfaction" Show
The company is holding auditions for "The Lady Demands Satisfaction" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: When a young maiden, who has never touched a sword, learns she must defend her inheritance in a duel, she struggles with a milksop suitor, a servant girl posing as a Prussian fencing master, a Prussian fencing master who thinks he is there to marry her, a stodgy lord and her domineering aunt - the finest blade anywhere - to save her house and lands. Like all classic farces, everyone gets the ending they deserve in unexpected ways. However, will the lady be satisfied? Additional info: Your audition will consist of Cold reads and a Fight audition. Please bring headshot and resume. For your Fight audition wear (or bring) a set of clothes that you can move in. Also bring water if needed (there is a water fountain on site). Performances are early October, rehearsals begin August 9th in Spring TX. A complete calendar will be available at auditions. Please be prepared to mark down any/all conflicts you may have.
