Announcing Auditions for Century Theatre's Fall 2011 Production of: The Diviners, by Jim Leonard, Jr.

The Diviners is a lyrical fable set in idyllic rural America. It's a fascinating yarn that bristles with complex psychological undercurrents and a hint of Greek tragedy. This marvelously theatrical play is the story of a disturbed young man and his friendship with a disenchanted preacher in southern Indiana in the early 1930s. When the boy was much younger, he narrowly escaped drowning. His mother drowned in the same accident trying to save him. These traumatic events left him deathly afraid of water. Ironically, the now childlike and sweet-spirited teenager, Buddy, has developed an uncanny ability to find water for his drought-besieged farm community. When a disillusioned preacher, C.C. Showers, comes to the farm seeking employment and food, a unique bond develops between the troubled but gifted Buddy and a man who represents salvation to some of the more stubborn residents.  C.C. devotes himself to helping Buddy, and his efforts precipitate a dramatic chain of events that involves the entire community. This award-winning drama is sure to transport you and  captivate your imagination!

Auditions will be held: August 30, 31, & September 1 from 7-9:30 p.m. in the West Campus Theatre. Students need attend only one audition date. Stage managers and backstage crew are also needed. No experience necessary.  All registered students are invited to participate. Sign up information will be posted near the Theatre Stage Door, W1050, by the 17th of August. You may also email Roberta Cullen (r.cullen@century.edu) or director Sean Dooley (sean.dooley@century.edu) for further information.

The Comedy of Errors
By William Shakespeare
Directed by George Roesler

Shakespeare’s mad-capped, farcical romp tells the tale of two sets of identical twins accidentally separated at birth. A series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities leads to wrongful beatings, a near-seduction, arrests, accusations of infidelity, theft, madness and demonic possession. Famous quote from the play: “Every why hath a wherefore.” Performances are June 25, June 26, July 2, July 15, July 23, July 31.

King Lear
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Jeffrey Altier

One of Shakespeare’s most brutal and most lyrical tragedies, Ling Lear is a shattering study of family dynamics and the portrait of a king and country plunging into madness and chaos. The characters confront fundamental questions of justice, familial duty, sacrifice and possible redemption while the world collapses around them. Famous quote from the play: “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child.” Performances are July 1, July 3, July 9, July 17, July 22, July 30.

The Two Noble Kinsmen
By William Shakespeare and John Fletcher
Directed by Stu Naber

While imprisoned in Athens, cousins Palamon and Aricte discover the beautiful Princess Emilia and immediately fall in love. Once best friends, the cousins become bitter rivals and agree to meet in personal combat to decide their fates. Famous quote from the play: “Men are mad things.” Performances are July 8, July 10, July 16, July 24, July 29
