Theatre Casting Call for "Scapino"
Theatre play "Scapino" looking for performers. See the details below. About the project: Set in Naples, Scapino! by Jim Dale and Frank Dunlop is a zany modern day farce inspired by Moliere’s 1671 comedy Les Fourberies de Scapin. The play’s lead, Scapino, is the servant who is smarter than his master. A quick-thinker, fast talker, and trickster, he intervenes (despite his master’s plans) to bring two pairs of young lovers together. “The good Lord has blessed me with quite a genius for clever ideas and inspired inventions.” boasts Scapino. This full-length farce in the style of Commedia dell’arte is a fun-filled, outrageous ride, full of slapstick and fast-paced humor; including tall tales, bad impersonations, ridiculous chase scenes, disgruntled waiters, lovable panhandlers, melodic macaroni, and misbehaving sausages. Additional info: Runs from May 25th to June 4th; CALLBACKS: Monday, Sept. 16, 6:00-8:30 pm; PERFORMANCE DATES: December 6-15. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Please bring a recent photo (any size close-up picture or headshot) and be prepared to sing at least 2 stanzas of a ballad or folk song a cappella. If interested, please apply.
