(PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 21, 2003) – The Phoenix College Department of Theatre & Film will hold auditions for two upcoming Fall productions on Tuesday, Aug. 26 and Wednesday, Aug. 27 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. The productions include: Steve Martin’s "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" and Harold Pinter’s "The Caretaker."

"Picasso at the Lapin Agile" is an absurdist comedy that places Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian café in 1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics with his theory of relativity and the celebrated painter set the art world afire with cubism. The cast consists of seven men and four women.

"The Caretaker" is a strikingly original black comedy in which two brothers take care of an old drifter…or does he take care of them? The cast consists of three men, but the part of the old man has been pre-cast.

All interested students are encouraged to report to the John Paul Theatre (enter through the lobby on the west side of the theatre) for cold readings from the provided scripts.

For more information, please call (602) 285-7302.
