Call for Auditions !

Dear All,
A lot has been brewing up lateley at VODO and thought I could share it with you guys as well.

Firstly, VODO has been invited to perform at the prestigious Kala Ghoda festival in Mumbai, to stage "Silence, The court is in session". The entire team would be travelling to Mumbai, the show is on Feb 7th at the National gallery of modern Art ( NGMA ). If you have friends in Mumbai, please pass on the message to them as well.

Next on the line is a new, Re-production :-) ... We are working towards staging " Actors Nightmare" at Kyra and a few other places in banglore from Feb - April. So the subject line calling for auditions.

Please make a mark on your calender.

Auditions and Reading:

Where:  Alliance Franchaise, Bangalore
Time: 3pm to 6pm
Date: Sunday the 31st, Jan.
Which play - An Actor's Nightmare, by Christopher Durang.

Synopsis of the play: Having casually wandered onstage, George is informed that one of the actors, Eddie, has been in an  accident and he must replace him immediately. Apparently no one is sure of what play is being performed but George (costumed as Hamlet) seems to find himself in the middle of a scene from Private Lives, surrounded by such luminaries as Sarah Siddons, Dame Ellen Terry and Henry Irving. As he fumbles through one missed cue after another the other actors shift to HAMLET, then a play by Samuel Beckett, and then a climactic scene from what might well be A Man for All Seasons-by which time the disconcerted George has lost all sense of contact with his fellow performers. Yet, in the closing moments of the play, he rises to the occasion and finally says the right lines, whereupon make-believe suddenly gives way to reality as the executioner's axe (meant for Sir Thomas Moore) instead sends poor George to oblivion-denying him a well-earned curtain call

Look forward to seeing you all sooon!
Please sms/call 9880918605 or 9880426783 and confirm if you'd be coming.

Cheers

See you all at the auditions.

Regards
Yashwanth.
