The 16 Bar Theatre Audition Series
(NEW) A Doll’s House, Auditions by Appt.Compassion Theater Company is holding auditions for Ibsen's A Doll's House, Production dates are July 20-26 at Shetler Studios in Manhattan. Auditions will be held during the week of May 16 to 23 by appointment only. Please send photo, resume, and a brief cover letter to compassiontheater@yahoo.com. Prepare a 2-3 minute monologue, and be prepared to read from the play. Seeking:
Torvald Helmer, 20s to 30s. Conventional bank manager who cares deeply about his professional reputation. Condescending and subtly abusive to anyone he considers inferior, especially his wife Nora, but ends the play on a note of devastated contrition. Lead. Nils Krogstad, 20s to 30s. A poverty-stricken loan shark who threatens to blackmail Nora into giving him the job he needs. Anguished and ambivalent over his bad behavior, especially when Nora plans to kill herself. When the woman he loves (see below Kristine) proposes, he undergoes a profound change of heart. Supporting. Kristine Linde, 20s. Psychologically perceptive, working-class widow; Nora’s close friend. She has an unusually strong sense of self for a woman of that era, yet fears being rejected by Krogstad. She feels lost because she has "no one to work for, no one to care for." Supporting. Dr. Rank, 20s to 40s. A cynically witty physician, suffering a slow death by disease. Frequents the Helmer household, presumably due to his friendship with Torvald, but really because he is in love with Nora. Decides to die alone in order to spare others ugliness. Supporting. Anne-Marie, 40s to 60s. A woman who left her daughter in order to gain a secure position as a live-in maid, echoing Nora’s eventual decision to leave her family.
