Auditions for Emma are now open!
Dacha Theatre is casting for their upcoming production of Emma by Kate Hamill, directed by Sophia Franzella!
Emma Woodhouse is clever, educated and energetic...and in imminent danger of going mad with idleness. In a time when respectable ladies are expected to sit quietly at home, she desperately needs projects--and prides herself on matchmaking, much to the chagrin of her friend Mr. Knightley. But where Emma's considerable energies focus, screwball comedy follows... A fresh feminist take on a treasured classic, this Emma breaks down convention, expectation, and even the fourth wall with vibrant comic flair--leading audiences "forward, onward, and upward! Director’s note: This show will be fast, funny, and wild! Quick changes and character switching will happen onstage and audience interaction will be a part of every actor’s track. Production Details: The show will run April 3rd through 19th at 12th Avenue Arts, in their Studio space. Rehearsals will begin February 18th. Dacha rehearsals typically run 3-5 days a week, weeknight evenings and weekend daytimes. More details in the audition form. |
