About the Audition: Due to the nature of our devised theatre creation
methodology, auditions will include a combination of text from the play and
performer-created material. Please have prepared a moment in Andre’s life,
either real or imagined, that has some connection to who he became. The
piece should be built with the theatrical language of animated object (use
at least one everyday object - not a created puppet - as a character). Your
object(s) should undergo at least one transformation. The piece must also
demonstrate your physical/movement ability and use the theatrical language
of scale - consider the size of things in relation to each other and how
those relationships convey meaning. Length:  2-3 minutes

Other text might be provided from the play for the actor to read. This will
be given out at the time of the audition. A reading draft of the play will
be made available for those who are chosen to audition.

Equity members will be seen first at all open audition calls. Equity members
cast in this production will be engaged under an Equity form of contract.
CAEA members: please bring your membership card to the audition.
