TheatreWorks New Milford Holds OPEN Casting Call for
Man of La Mancha
Sept 9th and 10th
Auditions will be held on Sunday September 9 from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm and Monday September 10th from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at NEW MILFORD METHODIST CHURCH, 68 Danbury Road, New Milford, CT.
Man of La Mancha is the story about historical author Miguel de Cervantes who we encounter in prison, awaiting trial by the Inquisition. When his fellow prisoners try to take Cervantes' belongings from him, including his manuscript, Cervantes proposes a trial in which he proves the merit of the manuscript through a reenactment, enlisting his fellow prisoners as characters in his play. Together, they tell the story of the aged Alonso Quijana who believes himself to be a knight errant, names himself Don Quixote, and pursues an obsessive quest to attain an impossible dream.
Rehearsals begin Oct. 15th typically running Monday thru Thursday, 7 – 10 pm. The play runs weekends from Senior night on Dec. 6th thru closing on Jan. 5th. Selected cast members should expect to portray multiple parts within the context of the play.
