Auditions for "DON JUAN IN HELL"

Auditions will be held this Saturday for Shaw's "Don Juan in Hell". This production by the West End Players Guild will be directed by Steve Callahan.

"Don Juan" is the seldom-seen third act dream sequence from "Man and Superman". It's a play in its own right, and contains the very essence of Shaw's philosophy. It brims with wit, eloquence, and Shaw's biting critique of life and love and the sexes--and his zealous enthusiasm for Mankind's future. This is Shaw at his most brilliant!

Characters:
Don Juan--an articulate, elegant, thoughtful man in the grip of the Life Force.
Dona Ana--a former love of Juan's. Beautiful, proud, aristocratic, fiery.
The Statue--Ana's father, a military man. Proud but friendly. (And just a bit vain).
The Devil--a comfortable, sensual, middle-aged man with more than a little charm.

Production dates are January 9 through 28.

Auditions: Saturday, November 4
1:00 to 3:00 (no appointments needed)
Union Avenue Church--on Union just north of Delmar.
Park in the back and come down the outside steps to the theatre.
