A DOLL’S HOUSE, PART 2 by Lucas Hnath
AUDITIONS: MONDAY, AUG 31 @ 6P – LAB THEATRE
CALLBACKS: THURSDAY, SEP 3 @ 6P – LAB THEATRE
Fifteen years earlier Nora Helmer opened her front door and walked out into the snowy night leaving behind a marriage and family as she sought to discover who she really was. Now Nora, a successful writer, is forced to return to face her husband Torvald, her now grown daughter Emmy, and the housemaid who took care of them both in her absence, Anne Marie. Her return is not received as well as she imagined it would.

You can get a copy of the play HERE
This play is going to be heavily based on archetype and broad characterization. I will be looking for strong, broad, physical choices. This production will involve - combat, SFX, intimacy, and coordinated movement.
Auditions will take place the first week of February and the call backs will happen that week. Auditions/call backs will work around rehearsal for Mad Ones if you are in that cast.
Auditions will consist of selections from the play WITH A MOVEMENT COMPONENT. This means you will be doing a monologue or scene from the play, but expected to add some element of movement to it - this can be combat-based, dance-based, viewpoints-based, suzuki-based, or commedia-based. You will have the option to audition with a partner.

Basilio – King of Spain – Male Presenting
Don Clotaldo – His Valido – Male or Female Presenting
Rosaura – A Young Woman from Poland – Female Presenting
Clarin – Her Servant – Male or Female Presenting
Segismundo – Prince of Spain – Male or Female Presenting
