Even Stillness Breathes Softly Against a Brick Wall

Written by Brad Birch

Senior Directing Thesis of Elisabeth Frankel

PERFORMANCES:

April 10th – 12th, 2014
Studio 1, Walgreen Drama Center

AUDITIONS:

Even Stillness… is a staged poem depicting two lovers who become disillusioned with consumerist society. Staring at iPhones, commuting, and with no potential to be emotionally fulfilled, one day they ask, “What if we just said no?”

Even Stillness WILL NOT conflict with:

• Hay Fever
• Romeo and Juliet
• Play about the Baby
• the MT senior showcase rehearsals

Even Stillness WILL conflict with:

• Marisol
• Les Miserables
• How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
• the Rude Mechanicals show

Please prepare a one-minute monologue that demonstrates a familiarity with any stylized vocal rhythm (it can be a monologue, a poem, rap, Shakespeare piece, etc).

Roles:

1. Him (male)

2. Her (female)

Any and all character types are encouraged to audition. This will be the American premiere of this play, and the second production ever, so there are no traditional ways of casting this piece. Let’s find our own style!
