"WAITING FOR GODOT" AUDITIONS
Auditions for Waiting for Godot will be held April 6 and 7 at the Black Box Theatre, 430 N Downtown Mall in Las Cruces. Four men (any ages) and one boy (8-12 years old) are needed. Boys will audition at 6 p.m.; men, at 7 p.m. both nights. All actors must be willing to perform broad physical comedy, including some light dancing and not so light falling on the ground. As this play will be performed in the courtyard, "falling on the ground" means just that, though safety precautions will be taken. Actors will read from the script and are encouraged to wear loose, comfortable clothing.
The Story
Two clowns, Estragon and Vladimir, are waiting for someone-a Mr. Godot-by the side of a road near a fruitless tree. As they ponder and discuss the ailments of life, the two men are approached by a boy-a messenger sent daily by the reclusive Godot who tells the clowns that his employer will not be coming today. Maybe tomorrow. In the meantime, two other fellows cross the clowns' path: Pozzo, an arrogant and long-winded traveler, in tow of his harnessed manservant, Lucky, bags in hand and rope around neck.
Samuel Beckett wrote this tragicomedy in French originally and saw it first produced in Paris in 1953. A year later, the play was published in English, translated by the author. In January 1955, the English stage produced the play in its new language. This year marks the play's 50th anniversary.
Auditions will be cold readings from the text. A script will be on reserve at Branigan Reference Desk after March 1. For further information e-mail the director, Scott Lunsford at sslunsford@zianet.com.
