SUMMARY:Auditions: Women March
DESCRIPTION:Production:  Women March on Washington by Christine Kallman \nDirector/Playwright: Christine Kallman \nAudition Dates and times:  Saturday\, February 10 or Sunday\,  February 11\,  4-6 p.m. \nAudition Location: Northfield Arts Guild Downtown \, 304 Division St. \nAudition Requirements:  Actors need not prepare anything in advance. You will be asked to read from the script\, by yourself or with other actors. Some of the roles call for singing (solo and/or ensemble). If you like\, you can prepare a very short song (1 minute or less)\, or the director will provide an easy song for you to sing.  Scripts available for 24 hr perusal at The Guild office or available online here. \nSummary of the Show: Women March on Washington is a full-length stage play based on the Women’s marches on Washington of 1913\, 1978 and 2017\, using historical and fictional characters. Bags packed\, they head out across the country (and over decades) to the nation’s center of power. What will they bring? White gloves and a Bible? Heavy boots and the Pill? A pink hat? A hijab? The diverse travelers encounter suffragist Alice Paul\, early civil rights leader Ida Wells-Barnett\, 1970’s ERA proponents (and opponents)\, and women of today. Battling enormous obstacles\, including their own doubts and disagreements\, all arrive in Washington together\, asking: “Whose march is it?” and “What are the stakes?” \nWomen March on Washington is a new play in development and will be presented script-in-hand. The rehearsal and reading of the script are invaluable parts in the process of the script revision and development. \n  This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund. \nRehearsal information:  Rehearsals are scheduled to begin Monday April 2. \nPerformance dates\, times\, location: \n\nSaturday\, April 14 Performance #1\, 7:30 p.m.  Northfield Arts Guild Theater\, 411 Third Street W.\, Northfield\nSunday\, April 15  Performance #2\, 2:00 p.m. Northfield Arts Guild Theater\, 411 Third Street W.\, Northfield\n\nCharacter descriptions and able-to-play ages:  Auditions are open to age 16 and older\, female and gender non-conforming persons.
