Audition for the play ‘Parables’ tonight

Sunday, February 7th, 2021

Inspired by the theatre department’s ministry work this past fall, our spring main-stage show is a re-conceived Parables. Directed by Cristi Miles and inspired by Portland Experimental Theatre Ensemble, along with current COVID protocols, this reimagined traveling theatrical installation promises to be a unique experience for performers and audience alike.

Auditions will be held via Zoom tonight (Monday) from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Sign up to audition here.

Play information:

Using well-known (and not so well-known) parables, along with possibly fables and/or allegories, and the international best selling book, The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, as source material, we will devise site-specific performances around our beautiful campus.

An ensemble of performers/creators/designers who consider themselves theatrical innovators is being summoned. Come and create something, make something from nothing, and birth a new play into being.

Come and challenge your notions of tradition, of what theatre can be, and how it can be made. Make it new yourself! Come experiment and play. We are redefining Parables and seeing what we learn. Are you in?

Click here for audition information. Hope to see you there!
