returns to the beautiful gardens at Ten Broeck Mansion this summer to
present an original comedy by award-winning local playwrights.<br><br>
This is the tale of that famous rogue and his quest to free the common
folk from tyranny, which resonates as much in modern society as it ever
did in the past. Featuring all the classic characters, but with a
twist. This is the story of the people before they were legends. It is
a story not of epic heroes, but of humans. Flawed humans. Deeply
flawed humans.<br><br> Actors should prepare a short comedic monologue,
either classical or contemporary. Headshots and resumes are not
required. Some physical activity, including light stage combat, will be
necessary for this show. Please note that all roles may be filled by a
performer of any gender/age/race.<br><br> Rehearsals will begin <span><span>May 25th</span></span>. Please bring all available scheduling conflict info to the audition.<br></font><br> For further information, please contact Chris Kowalski, director, at <a href="mailto:kowalski_christopher@yahoo.com" target="_blank"><font color="#0066cc">kowalski_christopher@yahoo.com</font></a>.<div> </div><div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">CHARACTERS:</font></div><b style="font-weight:normal"><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt" dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Robin
Hood: (M - 20+) A legend in his own mind, about to find out what it
means to be a legend for real. Also fancies himself a charmer and a
criminal genius. Much better with a sword or bow than he is with a plan.
