Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead
Written by Tom Stoppard Directed by Ron Warren Auditions for this show are being held at The Empty Space: 706 Oak St. Saturday, February 20th: 2-5pm Sunday, February 21st: 2-4pm This absurdist, existential comedy explores the themes of fate and free will within the context of the lives of two minor characters from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern stumble their way through the plot of Hamlet while seeking blindly for answers. All roles are available. Come prepared to perform cold readings from the script (both modern and Shakespearean). I will also ask you to perform your best theatrical death, so come prepared for movement! Principle Roles: These roles are open to actors of any gender, ages 20 and up. · Rosencrantz- Generally oblivious and easy going, but sometimes prone to melancholy. · Guildenstern- Analytical and neurotic, but searching for moments of illumination. · The Player- Leader of the tragedians, larger-than-life, an artist. Mentor and nemesis of R&G Roles from Hamlet: These characters are the characters from Shakespeare, and speak only their lines from that play. The ages and genders given are those of the character in question, but some liberties may be taken in casting these roles. · Hamlet- Melancholy. Mad? Prince of Denmark. Male, 30 · Claudius- Usurper, murderer. King of Denmark. Male, 40+ · Gertrude- Widow and bride, in that order. Mother of Hamlet. Female, 50+ · Ophelia- Hamlet’s love. Vulnerable, confused. Female, 20+ · Polonius- Platitudinous courtier. Father of Ophelia. Male, 50+ The Tragedians: 3-5 actors of any age or gender. · The acting troupe accompanying the Player through the play. Experience with the recorder is a plus. Their specialty is dramatic death scenes. · Alfred- A young transvestite. A member of the Player’s troupe of tragedians. The show runs April 23rd-May 8th. Rehearsals will begin in March. For more information, contact The Empty Space at 661-327-PLAY.

As of this writing, we have raised 547 books for CASA kids during our Christmas Book Drive. We were hoping to raise 1,000 by Christmas Eve. We still have today, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to pull it off and we're counting on caring, giving people like you to help us realize this goal! CASA kids are going through a rough time, and the holidays seem to make it harder. It is our hope that we can ease their hardship by getting brand-new age appropriate books to the children so they can enjoy the gift of literacy through the ever-so giving people of Bakersfield. We've already had a tremendous turnout from our community. Our own booksellers have dug into their pockets to provide some books to these kids. Won't you help us? Please come to Russo's Books in The Marketplace (9000 Ming Ave) and grab a book on the table dedicated to CASA and hand it to a cashier. Your purchase counts towards your book club membership! Call us at 665.4686 for any questions, we'd love to hear from you! Thanks to those who've already donated! Happy Holidays to all!

Christmas Book Drive for CASA I wrote an article about my big move from B&N to Russo's, and it caught the attention of a big-wig writer from FOXBusiness News out of New York. She wrote an article about my experience on "both sides of the spectrum"... it went live today! Check it out! http://www.foxsmallbusiness... http://www.foxsmallbusiness... Awesome! Here's the story that got their interest! http://www.bakersfieldvoice... We're very proud to be recognized by the MegaMedia! Thomas
