The Nagoya Players invite you to audition for our 2023 production of the light comedy, Untolled.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Untolled is an original play written by Joe Sichi. The plot centers on a theater troupe attempting to put on Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams, the Director’s favorite playwright. The production is thrown into turmoil by societal, generational, group dynamic, personal and personnel problems. Can they pull this off?
Untolled is a light comedy and a “non-musical, musical”. The latter will be explained at auditions.
AUDITIONS
Auditions will be held in-person, Sunday, November 27 at IPE Academy in Imaike. Please RSVP via the form on our website. Auditions typically take between 20~30 minutes. Audition materials will be provided beforehand.
Untolled is tentatively scheduled to take stage Fall 2023. Rehearsals will be in-person at Uchiyama Community Center in Imaike on Sundays.
