| AUDITIONS Holy Mo & Spew Boy By Lucia Frangione Directed by Val Lieske Wednesday February 1st 6:30-9:30 At ROCKY MOUNTAIN COLLEGE RM #204 To book an audition val@fireexit.ca Please come with a comedic monologue (no more than 3 minutes) and prepared to sing a few bars of a song of your choice (a cappella). If you can play an instrument…bring it! A reverently irreverent post-modern romp through the Old Testament from creation to King Solomon, not for the religiously faint of heart. Three fools endeavor to shake the dust off of ancient tales and a bring a cast of thousands to life. Follie tries to keep the stories going, what she can remember of them, while Guff throws dinosaurs into Genesis and Bufoona demands to play a princess instead of King David. Good for all ages and people of all faiths. FOLLIE - The respected troubadour who runs the show. Tall and square. She is an utterly sincere visionary and finds great joy in the beauty of the stories she tells. She has a commanding rich voice and is a totalitarian. BUFOONA - The fool. Bufoona is small, round, clownish and squeaky. She loves an audience, has a short attention span and is known to start small rebellions. She is an anarchist. GUFF - The flunky. Guff was a tag along who became useful to the troop. She is the technician, the orchestra, the scenery, and any “bit” that Follie and Bufoona can’t cover. She primarily plays animals and inanimate objects. She is a proletariat. Rehearsals at Alberta Bible College (635 Northmount Dr. NW) Show will run May 2nd-6th at the Engineered Air Theatre-Epcor Centre Fire Exit Theatre is a non-profit, non-equity theatre company. We exist to create meaningful community and a dialogue around faith. LUCIA FRAGIONE Award-winning playwright and actress Lucia Frangione has emerged from Canada’s independent theatre scene to take her place as an important, young post-feminist voice on the lives of women in the post-modern world, boldly questioning the institutions of family, religion and sexual iconography. Her accessible and entertaining plays persist in furthering an intelligent female voice in the theatre, utilizing satire as a tool for critical thought, and tackling complex themes with wit and courage. She is the recipient of the 2006 and 1998 Gordon Armstrong Playwright Awards and won the Sydney Risk playwright award for Cariboo Magi in 2001. Espresso was nominated for seven Jessie awards, toured Western Canada in 2004 and was translated into Polish and performed for a year at Teatr Jeleniogorski in 2007. Her twenty plays have been produced by theatres such as The Belfry Theatre, Alberta Theatre Projects, Lambs Players San Diego, Ruby Slippers, Solo Collective, Chemainus Theatre and Prairie Theatre Exchange. | |
