RPI Players Call for Directors for their 84th Season!
Troy, NY - March 12th, 2013 - The RPI Players are looking for directors
for their mainstage production of The Importance of Being Earnest by
Oscar Wilde to be performed November 15th, 16th, 17th, 22nd and
23rd of 2013 and our Spring Musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes with Music
by Jule Styne, Lyrics by Leo Robin, Book by Anita Loos and Joseph Fields,
and Adapted from the Novel by Anita Loos  to be performed
April 18th, 19th, 20th, 24th, 25th, and 26th of 2014. Performances will be
in the RPI Playhouse on 15th Street in Troy, NY.

The Importance of Being Earnest:
One of Oscar Wilde's most famous plays, The Importance of Being Earnest is
subtitled *A Trivial Comedy for Serious People*. It is a farcical comedy in
which
the protagonists maintain fictitious personæ in order to escape burdensome
social obligations. Set in late Victorian London, the play utilizes witty
dialogue
and an ingenious case of manufactured mistaken identity to create
a humorous
social satire.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes:
Based on the original book by Anita Loos, the musical follows Lorelei Lee,
a blonde from Little Rock, Arkansas who knows how to get her way. She
embarks on a voyage to Europe with her friend Dorothy, encountering an
Olympic
diving team, a slew of admirers, a misplaced tiara, and French detectives
along the way.


Any persons interested in directing these shows, or who would like more
information, should contact the RPI Players Executive Committee via
email at players at union.rpi.edu or via phone at 518-276-6503 *no later*
*than April 12th*. Please submit a theater resume, three references,
and availability for an interview. The RPI Players
Executive Committee will contact you about an interview time and date. At
the
interview, please come prepared to discuss your vision for the show.

The RPI Players is a student run community theatre on the campus of
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. While RPI students are the primary
participants in the organization, auditions and production roles are
open to all community members.
