Open call for auditions


English-and French-speaking actors (non-professional,) including those
that can sing a cappella and perform in Arabic are being sought for a tour
of "Trial" around
the Montreal region in winter/spring 2006.

"Trial" is a staged reading based on an adaptation of Kafka by Matthew
Behrens and Laurel Smith. It weaves the personal stories of five Muslim
men caught in Canada's "anti-terror" web into Kafka's famous novel
exploring the nature of bureaucratic power. It premiered as a bilingual
performance in Montreal (last November 19th), produced by Teesri Duniya
Theatre in collaboration with the Coalition Justice for Adil Charkaoui.

"Trial" will be touring the Montreal-area CEGEPs and community centres
from January 27, 2006 through April 2006, with performances in both French
and English.

We are seeking volunteer amateur actors , including an actor capable of
reciting in Arabic and an a cappella singer, for both the Anglophone and
Francophone casts.
Actors will be given an honorarium of $40/performance to cover costs.

Auditions will be held at Teesri Duniya
4324 St-Laurent Blvd.,
(corner of Marie-Anne, St-Laurent Station, Bus 55)
On January 15, 2006
from 2:00 to 6:00 o'clock p.m.
