Augsburg Theater Department Auditions: Egg

The Augsburg Theater Arts Department will hold auditions for its student directed production, Egg, by Mark Steven Jensen, directed by Mawrgyn Roper. An audition sign-up sheet will be posted on the Tjornhom-Nelson Theater door in the Atrium of the Foss Center.

Theater Auditions:
Monday, September 22nd from 6-9:30 p.m.
Tuesday from September 23rd from 6-9:30 p.m.
There will be no callbacks!

Casting: 2 female roles; 1 egg (of any gender)

Description of Egg: Bertha and Louise are wandering in an empty wasteland when they both spot an egg at the same time. Bertha wants to turn the egg into an omelet; Louise wants to paint the egg for Easter. They each try to convince the other to give up dibs on the egg. The debate turns more and more violent and events spiral out of control. The production will use highly physical performance techniques with puppetry and clowning to tell the story of two women and an egg.

For auditions, sign up for a slot on the theater door in the Foss Atrium and prepare a short piece of your choice (poem, lyrics, lines from a play, etc.) that incorporates movement. Your audition piece should be no longer than two minutes. The goal is to see you move with words. Try to tell a story with your body and the text. Don't over think it! All ideas are right.

Copies of Egg are on the theater desk in the Campus Ministry suite (Foss 104). It is recommended that you read the entire play in order to have a sense of tone in the piece and the nature of the characters, which may help generate ideas for your audition piece.

Rehearsals will begin Monday, October 6th.
Performance dates are Friday, November 14th through Sunday, November 16th.

For any questions and concerns, please contact the director, Mawrgyn Roper at roperm@augsburg.edu or the stage manager, Em Warpula at warpula@augsburg.edu
