Seeking Performers for "The Gondoliers" Show
The company is holding auditions for The Gondoliers" show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: The Gondoliers revolves around two handsome brothers, Marco and Giuseppe Palmieri, who are Venetian gondoliers. After a playful selection process, the brothers marry the farm girls, Gianetta and Tessa. All seems well until the brothers learn that one of them is the rightful heir to the throne of Barataria. They struggle with this new development, as they despise the idea of ruling a monarchy and prefer the simplicity of their gondolier lives. Another surprise emerges when one of the brothers was wed in infancy to the daughter of the Duke of Plaza-Toro. The daughter is secretly in love with the servant, creating a love triangle. In the end, the rightful heir is identified, and everyone is restored to their rightful partner.
