[Capdist-auditions] Company Auditions - The Local Actors Guild of Saratoga

[Jj Buechner]

The Local Actors Guild of Saratoga announces auditions for their October
production of

Company



Auditions will be held Tuesday May 13th at 7pm at The Saratoga Arts Center,
320 Broadway, Saratoga Springs NY. Sign in will start at 6:30pm.



*Please bring 16 measures of an up tempo Broadway show tune*. Actors will
be asked to do cold readings from the script.



A sophisticated and honest look at relationships from musical theatre's
most renowned composer, *COMPANY* is largely regarded as a trailblazer of
the dark-comedy, modern-musical genre.

On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert contemplates
his unmarried state. Over the course of a series of dinners, drinks, and
even a wedding, his friends -- "those good and crazy people [his] married
friends" -- explain the pro's and con's of taking on a spouse. The
habitually single Robert is forced to question his adamant retention of
bachelorhood during a hilarious, yet accurate, array of interactions.
