Auditions for The Robber Bridegroom produced by Joplin Little Theatre will be held Monday, April 2 and Tuesday, April 3 at 7:00 pm at Pinocchio Dance School at 106 W Daugherty St, Webb City, MO.
We’re needing boys and girls, ages 17+. We will teach you a song and a dance and do cold readings from the script. It’s a bluegrass musical that is hysterical.
It’s based on the novella by Eudora Welty called The Robber Bridegroom. Would love to see lots of people there!
Director Bill Perry has announced the cast for ART:
The Characters:
| MARC | Jim Lile |
| SERGE | Kevin Babbitt |
| YVAN | Greg Swartz |
Authored by Yasmina Reza, ART is a comedy about three men and their varying degrees of art appreciation.
Serge has paid a small fortune for a large canvas painted totally white. Marc scorns the painting while Yvan appears to be neutral.
Translated from the original French by British playwright Christopher Hampton, “ART” went on to win the 1996-97 Laurence Olivier Award and the 1998 Tony Award in its Broadway production.
ART is now in rehearsal. Production dates are April 4-8, 2012. Please note that these dates have changed from the original timeframe due to a scheduling conflict. Patrons with season tickets do not need to call the box office unless they need to change their tickets.
