Music and Music Direction by Geoffrey Gee
Directed by Kyra Gee
Announcing auditions for a staged reading of Nietzsche! The Musical — an original musical based on the life and legacy of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. This musical focuses on the tangled, personal relationships that shaped Nietzsche's fight against the anti-Semitism of his time, and his desire to create a philosophy that affirms life. For more about the musical, see: www.fortsalem.com/nietzsche <http://www.fortsalem.com/nietzsche>

The reading will be performed on Saturday, August 21, at 7 PM, indoors with a socially distanced in-person audience of 33% (65 seats maximum).  Fort Salem Theater’s COVID procedures are available online at www.FortSalem.com/covid, and will be strictly enforced.
In-person rehearsals for the reading will take place at the Fort Salem Theater in Salem, NY: Monday-Wednesday, August 16-18, from 9 AM-5 PM, and Thursday-Friday, August 19-20, from 5-10 PM. Two hours of individual, virtual rehearsals with the director and music director will be scheduled at the actor's convenience sometime during the week before. 
Actors will receive a $250 stipend.
The roles listed are currently available and are open to actors of all ethnicities and gender identities.
