ABOUT THE SHOW:

LOS ANGELES PREMIERE! When privileged and pretty Anastasia is sent to a Siberian gulag in post-WWII Soviet Russia for the murder of her abusive war-hero husband, Evgeny in the first scene, her arrival destroys the intricate web of hierarchy, alliance and treachery among the other four inmates of her bunkhouse. To save herself, Anastasia must save them all: the prostitute, the killer, the crone... and Prushka - the mouse. This harrowing drama asks the question: How far will you go to survive?" A Gulag Mouse is a gritty thriller which requires actors of tremendous physicality and stamina for intense stage combat sequences. Please note stage combat experience is required and we especially seek those with formal training.

AUDITION REQUIREMENTS:

* One minute Monologue in a heightened language: Chekov, Williams, or Ibsen. Looking for something new? We suggest some of Arthur M. Jolly’s other works. If you have a solid Russian Dialect in your kit, please indicate that at the audition - you may be asked to demonstrate via sides or your audition piece. Bring a headshot & resume, plus any schedule conflicts you might have between auditions and the end of May. (Full company members are not required to do a monologue and will read from sides.)

* Additional sides will be made available for callbacks. Callbacks will also include a "Fight Choreography" portion, similar to a dance call.
