AUDITIONS CANCELLED


Auditions for "Fat Pig" by Neil LaBute have been cancelled for the originally scheduled dates (2/1-2/2 at 6 pm).

Those interested in auditioning: auditions have been rescheduled for Monday 2/7 and Tuesday 2/8 from 6-8 pm both nights.

If you're interested, here's some info about the show:

The Oakland is seeking 4 actors to complete the cast of Neil LaBute's "Fat Pig," which will be directed by Christopher Fidram. Auditions will be held in the Star Gallery from 6:00-8:00 pm on February 7 and 8, 2011. Come prepared to read from the script. 2 men and 2 women in their 20s-30s.

Roles are:
Tom- The plot's protagonist. Late 20s to early 30s, he is a stereotypical man for his age group, until he meets and subsequently falls in love with...

Helen- A quite heavy, though self-confident librarian. She becomes Tom's love interest

Carter- Tom's closest male friend at the office. Carter represents the narcissistic and shallow qualities that Tom is trying to overcome.

Jeannie- Another co-worker at Tom's unnamed office firm. She and Tom used to date, but Tom was never fully committed to the relationship.

A bit about the show:
it's a dark comedy/drama about what happens when an "average" guy falls for a large lady - how his friends react, how he reacts, how she reacts - and what happens when an ultimatum is presented.

Fun facts:
when the show debuted off-Broadway in 2004, it featured Andrew mcCarthy, Jeremy Piven, and Kerri Russle. As it makes its way to Broadway this Spring, it will feature Dane Cook and Julia Stiles. Hmmm....
