Auditions for The Seagull by The Rude Mechanicals at GAC, September 23-24

Auditions for The Seagull by The Rude Mechanicals at GAC, September 23-24

The Rude Mechanicals in residence at Greenbelt Arts Center announce auditions for:
The Seagull
by Anton Chekhov
This is a musical production of the Seagull featuring rock songs from the 1970s.

Auditions: September 23-24, 2024, callbacks September 26, 7:30pm

Show dates: January 23 – February 1, 2025

Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

The Rude Mechanicals are known for concept Shakespeare, but concept Chekhov? Well that’s not something people do. Or is it? Our next production of The Seagull transports these drama queens of the Russian theatre in the late 1800s to the American music industry of the late 1900s. 1979 to be exact. In this production we aim to explore how the revolutionary revamping of theatre that occurred during Chekhov and Stanislavski’s era bears similarities to the way the birth and rising popularity of punk rock revolutionized music in the late 1970s. Come and witness new forms in music taking shape.

Constantine is a tortured songwriter involved in founding the punk rock movement in the late 1970s. He’d love nothing more than to prove his worth to his rich and famous but cold and withholding mother, the famous diva, Arkadina. Constantine is in love with Nina, a young aspiring singer who wants to make it big. Nina is a little star struck by the wildly successful Trigorin, who is dating Arkadina. Masha, the gothiest goth who ever gothed, is in unrequited love with Constantine and soothes the pain of unreturned love with substance abuse and witty denial. Medviedenko the schoolteacher is in unrequited love with Masha. Everyone at Sorin’s estate is clearly very, very happy.

The world’s longest-running play! After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time.
