Auditions

Theatre Lab, the professional resident company of FAU, is seeking headshot & resume submissions for an upcoming workshop of a new play, The Last Queen of San Domino by Chandler Hubbard. The play was commissioned through the Fair Play Initiative, made possible through support from Our Fund Foundation. 


The workshop will be directed by Michael Leeds and take place from April 13-25 (two weeks) and culminate in one partially staged performance of Act One. A weekly salary will be provided. Specific rate is TBA but will be more than $400 per week for up to 30 hours of work each week.


Set in 1930's fascist Italy, The Last Queen of San Domino depicts a group of homosexuals illegally deported and marooned on an island prison because, in the words of Mussolini, "in Italy, there are only real men". Instead of despair, they find comfort in each other, in celebration, and, sometimes, putting on a show - even as they are subjected to solitude and physical torment at the hands of their captors. When World War II arrives, however, this exile-turned-community is forced to return to their homeland, scattered, alone, and lost to history. The Last Queen of San Domino follows two men from their first days on the island to their last, meeting, falling in love, uplifting one another - and then being ripped apart.

 

Available roles:


SISSY/COPPOLA — male, any race, 20s-30s, often beat, but never beaten, not strong, but scrappy/a guard
MAX/RUSSO - male, any race, 20s-30s, all bravado and bluster, learning love/a guard
LEO/ESPOSITO - male, any race, 40s-60s, the responsible elder, a doctor/the new captain of the guards
DANTE/MARINO - male, any race, 20s-30s, the flirt & costumer/a guard
ALDO/SEBASTIAN - male, any race, 20s-30s, fearful, hobbled by a broken leg/a guard with a kind heart 


Actors interested in being considered should submit a headshot and resume via email with subject line LQSD HS/R to theatrelab@fau.edu by Monday, December 8th. Actors who may be a fit for the project will receive a subsequent invite to audition on 12/15 in-person at Theatre Lab

Theatre Lab Play Submission Policy

Theatre Lab regrets it cannot accept open submissions of plays and musicals. Unfortunately, the cost of reading and processing hundreds of scripts is beyond our modest staff capabilities. We only accept play submissions electronically in the following circumstances:

  1. You are a writer who in the past has had a play developed in some phase of a Theatre Lab New Play Development Program.
  2. You are an agent at a recognized literary agency.
  3. You are either a writer who has had a play developed/presented at one of the theatres of the National New Play Network or are an Artistic/Literary head of an NNPN Theatre.
  4. You either work as, or were suggested to submit by, the Artistic Director, Associate Artistic Director, or Literary Manager (or equivalent position) at a Professional Theatre. In the case of a recommendation, a note from that person must accompany the submission, as well as their e-mail address.

For information on obtaining literary and theatrical representation, other theaters interested in new plays and script submission procedures, please consult the excellent publication Dramatists Sourcebook, published by Theatre Communications Group, a service organization for the not-for-profit professional theater, available through your local bookstore, online through vendors such as Amazon.com, or directly from TCG Publications at tcg.org. The Sourcebook is published biannually, so you may want to confirm that policies have not changed since the latest publication date.
