Everyone auditioning must prepare 32 measures of a song from a musical, to
be sung a capella, and a short age-appropriate 1 minute monologue.  Please

time to audition; please call Eleah Peal at 518-244-2248, or e-mail at
artslettersasst at sage.edu to schedule.  You may also request an electronic
audition form by email to be filled out prior to the auditions.  We
encourage performers of all backgrounds, ethnicities, ability levels, and
experience to audition.   We also encourage anyone that has an interest in
technical positions/stage management to contact Michael Musial directly, as
we are looking to fill those positions for the production as well.

Based loosely on Edmond Rostand’s play Cyrano de Bergerac, CALVIN BERGER is
the hip and hilarious story of unrequited feelings, love notes, and
physical insecurity among four high school seniors. Calvin is smitten by
the beautiful Rosanna, but he feels insecure because of the size of his
nose. Rosanna, in turn, is attracted to the good-looking newcomer, Matt,
who is painfully shy and inarticulate around her, although the attraction
is mutual. Hoping to get closer to Rosanna through his eloquent love notes,
Calvin offers to be Matt’s “speech writer,” all the while ignoring the
signals of attraction from another girl, his best friend, Bret. When the
deception unravels, everybody’s friendship is seriously jeopardized, but
Calvin eventually realizes that his preoccupation with his appearance had
led him astray, and his eyes are opened to Bret, who’d been there all along.



The Theatre Institute at Sage will present Calvin Berger the following
dates:



Friday, February, 21 at 7:30pm

Saturday, February 22 at 7:30pm

Sunday, February 23 at 2pm
