AUDITIONS for Chekhov’s THE SEAGULL (12/10)

Come audition for the Theater Department’s Spring production of  THE SEAGULL by Anton Chekhov!

THE SEAGULL dramatises the artistic and romantic conflicts between the following figures: the famous middlebrow writer Trigorin, the eager ingenue Nina, the fading actress Arkadina, and her passionate and frustrated son Treplev. It is an ensemble play that emphasizes the pain, beauty, and humor we can find in life’s conflicts and desires.

Auditions will take place in the Frear Ensemble Theater, Thursday 12/10, between 3-6pm.
Sign-up sheet and monologues can be found outside of the Theater Department Office (lower-level of LPAC)

Any level of experience and walk-ins are welcome! You can use the monologues provided or present one of your choosing. However, prepared monologues are not necessary.

Feel free to email Michelle at mjohnso4@swarthmore.edu with any questions!
