[Charles Treadwell]

Auditions for Albany Civic Theater's first show of the
2010-2011 season, The Complete History of
 America (Abridged), by
A. Long, D. Singer, and J. Wingfield, directed by Matt MacArevey, will be held Monday, May 24 and Tuesday, May 25, 2010
at Albany Civic Theater, 235 Second Avenue, Albany, NY 12209, 462-1297, www.albanycivictheater.org

 

The Complete History
of America 
(Abridged) runs September 17 to October 3, 2010.

 

Auditions begin at 7pm
both evenings; there is no need to make an appointment. The show calls for
three actors. All ages and genders will be considered for all roles.

 

Auditioners are asked to prepare a contemporary comedic
monologue, 1-2 minutes in length. Memorization is encouraged, though not
required. Please wear comfortable clothing, as you may be asked to participate
in some improv activities. 

   

The Complete History
of America (Abridged)
attempts to explain 600 years of history in 6000 seconds – a roller coaster
ride through the glorious quagmire of American History, from Washington 
to Watergate, from the Bering Straits to Baghdad ,
from New World to New World Order. The past is interpreted as a breathlessly
paced sequence of vaudeville sketches, word-association games, puns and
parodies of movie and television genres. Nothing is sacred, and many of the
facts have been skewed. History has never been this much fun…or as delightfully
mutilated!
