face="Times New Roman"><B>The Real Thing</B> is a Tony award winner for Best
Play. The play tells the story of a married playwright who blurs the line
between reality and his dramas on the stage as his personal life unravels before
his very eyes. Deeply moving and bitingly funny, Tom Stoppard’s razor
sharp drama brilliantly examines the complex nature of love, art and
reality. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: auto 0in" class=msonospacing><FONT size=3
face="Times New Roman"> Auditions will consist of cold readings from the
script. <B>The British accents are a must for this show. Please be prepared to
try an accent at auditions</B>. Also, be prepared to list any conflicts you
might have during the rehearsal period at the auditions. Show dates are May 4-6
and May 9-13, 2012</FONT></P>
