[BATA] Aud Opp correction

[Jeanie Forte]

I made a boo-boo-- the auditions are NOT being held at the Pear, but at 
"Pear North", Jordan Middle School, 750 N. California Avenue, Palo 
Alto.  Easy to find, close to 101.
Sorry!

*******************************************************************
Some choice, intriguing roles are up for audition in the Pear Avenue 
Theatre's season opener, Veracruz, a premiere of a new play by San 
Francisco playwright John Levin.  The play covers U.S.'s invasion of 
Mexico to protect oil interests, which attracted many first-rate 
reporters to the scene, including Jack London.  Douglas MacArthur led 
troops in the operation.  And there was an attempt to cover up a 
shocking mistreatment of Mexican prisoners...  Startlingly current, and 
a first-rate play.

Here's what we're looking for:

Douglas MacArthur, when he was 35, classic military man; a Captain at 
this point, looking to make the move that will make him visible, begin 
to establish his military career.  A fascinating portrayal of a complex 
individual

Charmian London, Jack London's wife, age 43 (Jack's a few years 
younger).  Smart, savvy, socialist by persuasion, Jack's helpmate in 
several different ways, keeps him grounded; has several crucial scenes 
w/Jack, is the moral center of the play

Fred Boalt, 25, Jewish intellectual socialist reporter, admires Jack, 
first to break the scandal and bring it to Jack's attention.

Sor Juana, maybe 38-48, madam of the Veracruz brothel, friends with 
Jack.


Auditions are Monday, Aug. 2, 6:30 - 10:00, callbacks on Aug. 3, AT 
JORDAN MIDDLE SCHOOL IN PALO ALTO, 750 N. California Avenue.   Please 
prepare a serious monologue under 2 minutes; you'll also cold-read.  If 
you're auditioning at the South Bay Generals, you don't need to 
audition separately, but you could let us know if you want to be 
considered for a role.

For an audition appointment, either e-mail me or call the theatre at 
650-254-1148.

Equity actors could be considered for either MacArthur or Charmian, 
under a BAPP.  All actors paid a stipend.  In just two years, the Pear 
Avenue Theatre has established itself as a first-rate theatre that does 
high-quality work, with a focus on underperformed classics and cutting 
edge new and contemporary pieces.  With our central peninsula location 
and proximity, we've attracted top-notch talent from San Francisco to 
San Jose.

See you in the theatre,
