Asheville -- Sat., May 26, 2012 at 11:00 AM
Montford Park Players: Auditions for The Merry Wiveis of Windsor
Auditions for The Merry Wives of Windsor, directed by Kristi DeVille.
Auditions will be held Saturday, May 26, from 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Bring headshot and resume if you have them – it’s not required. Actors with circus-type performing abilities are particularly being sought. The Merry Wives of Windsor will be performed July 27 through August 18. This uproarious social comedy features the hilarious courtships of fat knight, Sir John Falstaff, and is Shakespeare’s only play to deal exclusively with contemporary Elizabethan era English middle class life. Falstaff’s attempts to woo 3 different married women result in a turning of the tables and a hilarious comeuppance.
Audition sides will be posted at www.montfordparkplayers.org beginning Monday, May 21.
For more information contact kristi.deville@montfordparkplayers.org or call 828-254-5146.
Free.

North Carolina Stage Company: In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play)
Sarah Ruhl: In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play) - "With the invention of electricity in the late 1800s came the invention of a remarkable device for treating 'hysteria' and other maladies in female patients. Dr. Givings is on the cutting edge of science, and he operates a highly-respected clinic out of his home, where he provides his 'treatments.' While the subject is titillating, Sarah Ruhl's lyrical dialogue and keen insight into the hearts of women and men make this play more than just a one-note joke. In fact, it's as poignant as it is funny,"
$29-$17, depending upon the day of the week.
