Auditions for Solomon and Marion at Greenbelt Arts Center, Jan 9 & 10

Greenbelt Arts Center announces:
Auditions for Solomon and Marion

January 9 & 10, 2021

On January 9 and 10, Greenbelt Arts Center will hold auditions for the short play, “Solomon and Marion” by Laura Foot Newton, directed by Ann Lowe-Barrett. The auditions will be online via Zoom by appointment. To request an audition slot, email the director (annjanelowe@gmail.com) with your resume, conflicts between now and the performance date, and availability on the audition dates.

“Solomon and Marion” is the story of the unlikely friendship between:

Marion Banning, a white 63-year-old South African Woman of English descent. Marion is solid, has her feet on the ground – a wry sense of humor, generous and infinite need. She has lost her son and her husband and her will to live is diminished because of that.

Solomon Xaba, a young 19-year-old South African man of color from rural Xhoza. Inquisitive, aloof and fragile. He is thin because of a liver disease.

All roles are open.

Rehearsals will be virtual. The production will be recorded and streamed for audiences on Feb 27, 28, March 6 and 7, 2021. The director will work with the cast on a convenient rehearsal schedule.

GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!
by Anthony King and Scott Brown
Directed by Zack Walsh
Music Director Lucia LaNave
Choreographer Stefan Sittig
Produced by Pamela Northrup

Online two weekends: December 11, 12, 18 and 19.

By Greenbelt Arts Center, Online.

Gutenberg! The Musical is a play within a play, like Hamlet but even funnier! Wannabe Broadway writers Bud and Deb are just so darn excited to share their new musical with an audience, and what better way to share it than through a Zoom call! What they may lack in talent they make up for in awkward energy! Although their show – a biography of Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of the Printing Press – features an extensive cast, Bud and Deb have decided that for tonight’s performance they’ll read all the parts themselves! Starring Capital Fringe Festival favorites David Koenigberg and Aria Velz, Gutenberg! The Musical! is the perfect show for the COVID age- with no sets and costumes it relies only on your off-kilter imagination!

Notice: this play contains adult themes and language.

By purchasing a ticket you will receive the link to watch the show. Tickets: $15.
