College Theater will hold open auditions 7 p.m. tonight for The Cherry Orchard, a play by Anton Chekhov that will be performed March 3-6 on the main stage of the Williams Center for the Arts.
Director Michael O’Neill will cast five to six women and eight to nine men. Academic credit is available for major roles.
The play description: “The theater’s most famous piece of real estate and the ineffectual aristocratic Russian family unable to close the deal on it are the heartbreaking and hilarious roots of this century-old comic masterpiece. The sparse, idiomatic translation by Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet (State and Main, Glengarry Glen Ross, Wag the Dog) captures the mood and rhythm of an era’s passing and reaffirms Chekhov’s position at the juncture between naturalism and the great poetic theater he anticipated.”
