AUDITIONS

General Information

Forge auditions are open to the public and are generally held on two dates in order to allow the most number of people to fit it into their schedule.  Some directors prefer a prepared audition, others do cold readings from the script, still others may do both.  Be sure to check the audition page for the specific show you are interested in for audition information.

When you come to the theatre for auditions, please remember that there is NO PARKING on First Avenue.  Ample parking is available in the large church lot at the corner of Main and Washington; sometimes there are available spaces in the small office lot at the corner of First Avenue and Gay Street.

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST*  – written by Dale Wasserman, adapted from the novel by Ken Kesey.

Based on the seminal 1960s novel by Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest left an indelible mark on contemporary theatre. Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately devastating, it is the unforgettable story of patients in a mental institution, a world where sanity means conformity.  First presented at Forge as part of our 17th season, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a powerful exploration of the beauty — and the danger — of being original.

Performances:  September 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 2011

Directed by Wendy Mirto

DON’T DRINK THE WATER, written by Woody Allen.

In an unnamed country behind the Iron Curtain, the American ambassador leaves the embassy for business, placing his inept son in charge.

Performances:  January 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, 2012

Directed by Jim Kelsh
