The Servant of Two Masters is a modern Italian commedia adapted from Carlo Goldini’s play written in 1743. It is a hilarious and convoluted story of mistaken identities, disguises, miscommunications, and matters of honor by which true lovers are kept apart and then, as if by clockwork, are finally brought together.
No previous experience is required, and no need to prepare anything for auditions. As Commedia Dell ‘arte is based on high comedic physicality, this show is looking for actors who can work well as an ensemble, take theatrical chances, and make their characters larger than life through exaggerated and heightened movements. Actors with clowning and dance experience are strongly encouraged to apply!
