Inverness Unravels

Friday, January 24th between 6:00-10:00pm. Callbacks will be held on Saturday, January 25th between 10:00am-5:00pm, both in the Bonn Studio Theater. 

Since the beginning of September, the nine-person Devising class taught by Monan
Professor Dawn M. Simmons has been cooking up a brand-new contemporary adaptation of
William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Now, this new work is ready for the next stage of its life —
and it needs you.
Audition to join six members of the class in finishing the script and performing the final piece in March. This unique opportunity combines a crash course in the Devising process with the chance to originate a role on the Bonn stage. 

Please prepare a two-minute contemporary monologue to audition. 

As You Like It 

Wednesday, January 22nd from 6:00pm to 10:00pm and Thursday, January 23rd from 6:00pm to 10:00pm on the Robsham Mainstage. Callbacks will be held on Saturday, January 25th from 10:00am to 2:00pm on the Robsham Mainstage.

This far out take on the classic comedy is set in late 1960s San Francisco, where the Forest of Arden is refuge to counter-cultural peace-niks. After Orlando falls in love with Rosalind, her autocratic uncle banishes her to the forest, where she disguises herself as a boy. Orlando, fleeing an attempt on his life by his power-hungry brother, finds her in Arden but is fooled by her disguise. Meanwhile, others in the forest find themselves embroiled in unrequited love—including a love triangle between Rosalind-as-Ganymede, the shepherd Silvius, and Phoebe. Accompanied by a live rock band, the characters move between
Shakespeare's heightened language and groovy 60s music as they imagine a less corrupt, less patriarchal,more peaceful world.
