With all of the snow and ice over the last several weeks, Oddfellows Playhouse has been forced to cancel several pre-audition workshops for the Teen Repertory Company. We want to make sure interested students have a chance to get involved. We are extending the audition process, and will be holding auditions on Thursday 1/20, Tuesday 1/25 and Wednesday 1/26 from 7-9:30 pm. Students are welcome to attend auditions more than once.
The first production is Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen and adapted by Arthur Miller. Renowned for its medicinal waters, a small Norwegian coastal town is enjoying the fruits of this economic boom. When Dr. Thomas Stockman discovers the waters are in fact poisoned by waste products from industry. His attempts to alert the unknowing public are met with tremendous force and resistance from those in power.
Directed by Missy Burmeister, opening night is March 31.
The second mainstage performance of the Teen Rep Company is The Farnsworth Invention. Written by Aaron Sorkin, whose The Social Network just won a Golden Globe, The Farnsworth Invention continues Oddfellows dedication to bringing cutting edge and relevant works to our community.
With a successful run on Broadway, The Farnsworth Invention is about two men and their race for the rights to one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century: the television.
As noteworthy as the selection is the director. Marcy Arlin, Artistic Director of the OBIE award winning Immigrant’s Theatre in New York City, will direct. Arlin is also a Fulbright Senior Specialist and member of the Lincoln Center Theatre.
Opening night is set for Apr. 28.
