MATC PERFORMING
ARTS HOLDS AUDITIONS FOR FATHER OF FORTUNE
Madison Area Technical
College Performing Arts kicks off the 2001-2002 season with Father
of Fortune, an original play by Wm. Patrick Barlow. Open auditions
for all roles will be held on Wednesday, September 5, and Friday, September
7, 2001, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Mitby Theater on the MATC Truax
Campus, 3550 Anderson Street.
Similar in tone to
Our Town, the play concerns the impact of the murder of a well-known and
powerful priest on the people in a small Wisconsin community. Through
intrigue, mystery and moral questioning, the play seeks to answer "Why
would someone kill a priest?"
Roles are available
for 25 to 30 men and women, ages 10 to 70. Actors will be asked to read
cold from the script. An Audition Information Sheet can be picked up in
Room 107 on the MATC Truax Campus or at the Mitby Theater Box Office.
Father of Fortune
is the first in a series of world premier productions of original plays
written by Madison area playwrights. The MATC production will be directed
by Mary Ellen Graf and produced by the playwright, Wm. Patrick Barlow,
with stage management by Chris Lechner and lighting design by Corey Helser.
Performances of Father
of Fortune will be held November 8, 9 and 10, 2001, in the Mitby Theater
at MATC Truax Campus. More detailed information on the production or the
audition process is available by contacting Wm. Patrick Barlow at (608)
