King Lear\, one of Shakespeare'\;s darkest and most savage plays\, tells the story of the foolish and Job-like Lear\, who divides his kingdom\, as he does his affections\, according to vanity and whim. His plan goes awry as his daughters scheme and fight for control\, throwing the entire kingdom into turmoil. Lear'\;s failure as a father and a king engulfs himself and his world in tragedy\, as he descends further and further into madness. Offering some of Shakespeare&rsquo\;s greatest and strongest characters for both men and women\, \;King Lear \;showcases the Bard at the height of his dramatic powers.
\n\nAuditionees should prepare a one-minute Shakespearean monologue. Monologues should be from a Shakespearean tragedy or history\, but NOT from Lear. Appropriate audition attire is expected.
\n LOCATION:Auditions will occur on Louisiana Tech University's Campus in Arthur W. Stone Theatre\, located in the Howard Center for the Performing Arts.
