Auditions for Molière's The Bourgeois Gentleman
Directed by Ron Warren & Ryan Watts

Auditions will be held at the Spotlight Theatre on February 16th from 12pm to 4pm.

Monsieur Jourdain is a very wealthy man. He can afford the finest clothing, the most precious jewels, and the most clever tutors Paris has to offer. Unfortunately for Monsieur Jourdain, he is also preposterously out of touch with reality. The son of a middle class cloth merchant, Jourdain will never be a true gentleman, but nothing will stop him from trying. While he spends extravagantly in an attempt to appear cultured and genteel, his long suffering wife tries vainly to beat some sense into him- and protect her family from the greedy Count Dorante while finding her daughter Lucile a good, middle-class husband. Themes of class and wealth are hilariously examined in this uproarious comedy by one of the greatest comic playwrights the world has ever known.

All roles are open for consideration. We are looking for anywhere from 9 to 15 actors to fill the roles:

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN, the bourgeois gentleman. Male, middle aged.
MADAME JOURDAIN, his wife. Female, middle aged.
LUCILE, daughter to the Jourdains. Female, young.
NICOLE, maid to the Jourdain household. Female, young.
CLÉONTE, middle class man in love with Lucile. Male, young
COVIELLE, servant to Cléonte. Male, young.
DORANTE, pennyless Count taking advantage of M. Jourdain. Male, young to middle age.
DORIMÈNE, a marquise. Female, any age.
VARIOUS TUTORS AND SERVANTS, any sex or age.

Auditionees should come prepared to perform cold readings from the script. Rehearsals begin February 25th. Performance dates are April 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, and May 2, & 3.
