Break a leg. And that's means you! The Falcon's Eye Theatre at Folsom Lake College is making a call to actors from the community to audition for its spring production of "The Skin of Our Teeth," Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning comic allegory.
If you haven't seen the play, it's a satiric fantasy revolving around the Antrobus family. It charts the trivals and times they endure through "The War," surviving flood, fire, pestilence, locusts, ice age, the pox, and the double feature, and through a dozen subsequent wars and as many depressions. Ultimately, they are the stuff of which heroes and fools are made. Their survival is a theatrical testament of faith in humanity.
It's such a great chance whether you have been looking to get involved and were afraid to make your first step on the stage or if you are a seasoned pro!
Plus, it's a Thorton Wilder and Pulitzer-winning play no less! You can't miss.
Date: Monday, January 31, 7p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis.
Location: Auditions will take place on the Folsom campus of Folsom Lake College, 10 College Parkway (off E. Bidwell St.), Folsom, 95630 in the Community Room (Aspen Hall room FL1-20). The Community Room is located near the south entrance of campus, on the southwest corner of Aspen Hall/FL1. $1 parking permits are available at kiosks located throughout the parking lots.

This monologue should best portray the actor's strengths and can be of any genre, but must be from a play written for the stage. This monologue must be memorized.
