The Saugus Cultural Council is planning an event at Saugus High School to showcase the talents of all the arts organizations in town. The date is Sunday 23 February 2025. TCS will present a cutting of the play The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.
We are seeking an actor for the role of Lady Bracknell, a very snobby English lady. This role is traditionally female-presenting, but can of course by played by someone of any gender. The actor should also be able to do an RP British accent, and at least plausibly be of appropriate age to be the parent of a young adult. Candidates should be available on the show date, as well as for a few rehearsals leading up to it, which could be on Zoom, at the Legion in Saugus, or nearby in Medford.
To audition for the role, send us a video clip up to two minutes long. Send it to us by Thursday 23 January 2025. Read from this script. Your video should at least include the speech by Lady Bracknell on page 8 starting with “The line is immaterial….”, but can include more than that. You are not required to read Jack’s lines. Send the video to us at tcsaugus@gmail.com.
We will also need volunteers on the day of the event to help us out backstage, and to staff our table greeting the public and handing out publicity materials about TCS. If you are interested in helping out, please write to us at tcsaugus@gmail.com.
