UP NEXT:

AUDITIONS FOR
GOD OF CARNAGE
*AND*
THE INVENTION OF LANGUAGE

AUDITIONS!!! FTW will be holding auditions on November 20 & 21 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on the 3rd Floor of the Ford Academic Complex, Millsaps College Campus. We will be holding auditions for two shows: "God of Carnage," by Yasmina Reza (2 m, 2f), with performance dates of January 8-12, 2025; and the world premiere of the musical play, "The Invention of Language," by Steven G. Smith, (2f, 3m) with tentative performance dates of February 27 - March 2, 2025.

ABOUT GOD OF CARNAGE: Set in present day NYC, it’s the story of two couples who meet for the first time shortly after their respective sons have a nasty schoolyard tangle. Any attempt at a civilized discussion quickly devolves into a finger-pointing, name-calling, stomping around and throwing things free-for-all.  (Think “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” with more vomiting.)  FOUR ADULT ACTORS (2f, 2m). AUDITIONS WILL BE COLD READINGS FROM THE SCRIPT

ABOUT THE INVENTION OF LANGUAGE: Is language too dangerous to mess with? Is it safer when we sing it? This trilogy of short plays (with short songs) looks at the rewards and perils of speaking as some Very Important Words become available to early humans, to political and religious humans, and to near-future high-tech humans.  FIVE ADULT ACTORS (2 f, 3 m) PLAYING MULTIPLE ROLES. AUDITIONS WILL BE COLD READINGS FROM THE SCRIPT.  YOU SHOULD ALSO BE PREPARED TO GIVE A ONE-MINUTE SAMPLE OF YOUR SINGING, WITH A BACKING TRACK.
