RPI Players Call for Directors for their 85th Season!
Troy, NY - February 7th, 2014 - The RPI Players are looking for
directors for their mainstage production of Dracula by Stephen Dietz to be
performed November 14th, 15th, 16th, 21st and 22nd of 2014 and their Spring
Musical, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Music and Lyrics by David Yazbek and
Book by Jeffrey Lane, to be performed April 24th, 25th, 26th, 30th, 31st,
and May 2nd of 2015. Performances will be in the RPI Playhouse on 15th
Street in Troy, NY.

Dracula:
This new adaptation restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker's
classic novel to the stage. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon
the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his
appearances--in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate.
Rich with both humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical
picture of Stoker's famous vampire.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels:
Based on the popular 1988 film, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels centers on two con
men living on the French Riviera. Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living
by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson more humbly
swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his
grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they attempt to
work together only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for
the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract
$50,000 from a young female target, heiress Christine Colgate, wins and the
other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues that will keep
audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!


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  *no later **than March 20th*. Please
submit a theater resume 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.
