[Capdist-auditions] Actor needed for Theater Voices upcoming staged reading of THE TIMEKEEPERS, by Dan Clancy

[Theater Voices]

Director Stewart J. Zully is seeking an actor to play the role of HANS in
an upcoming Theater Voices staged reading of THE TIMEKEEPERS, by Dan Clancy.

Seeking HANS: Male, 30-50, Larger than life, he makes the most of his
situation. He is quick with a joke, not afraid to do what he must to live
another day; he's a survivor in a world that requires nothing less. A
demanding role. A strong actor, good with comedy as well as the dramatic,
is the essential ingredient.

Please send a picture/resume via email to playwrightworks at aol.com
The director will contact actors for an audition appointment.

Rehearsals begin in February, 1-2 times weekly; performances March 22-24 at
Steamer 10 Theatre in Albany.

"The Timekeepers" takes place in a concentration camp cell. Ben, an expert
Jewish watchmaker of middle age whose family has been taken by the Nazis,
works alone repairing watches to survive camp life. Hans, imprisoned for
being gay, is brought in by one of the guards to work with Ben. Hans knows
nothing of fixing watches; he has lied his way in to avoid the horrific
alternatives for prisoners at the camp. After struggling through their
differences and their prejudices, the two men find a way to co-exist
through their mutual love of opera.  Hans' survival tactics, servicing the
guards by "any means necessary," make it possible for him to get
information about Ben's family. In exchange, Ben teaches Hans the specifics
of watch repair, and the two form a bond that is ultimately an uplifting
tale of human survival.
