Auditions, Tech Call for Boudikka by Philip Kreyche, June 13 and 14

Received directly from Philip Kreyche:

Now casting for a new play entitled

BOUDIKKA: The Warrior Queen

written and directed by Philip Kreyche.
Synopsis: After a British queen sees her lands occupied and her daughters raped, she raises a mighty army and leads a rebellion against the Roman Empire.

Casting for the following roles:

- Paulinus Suetonius: Roman governor of Britain. Driven by ambition, he lives only for fame and success. Looking for males with Mediterranean/Roman looks, age 30-60.
- Catus Virgilius: a Roman commander, ruthless and cruel. Looking for males, preferably with Mediterranean/Roman looks, age 30-60.
- Kamorra: a British princess who has taken on the warrior-like attitudes of her male peers. Looking for females, preferably with north European looks, who could pass for 14-18 years old. (This role includes an on-stage rape, so I'm only taking actresses over the age of 18)
- Taska: a British princess who has taken on the more diplomatic, reserved attitude of her father, the late king. Looking for females, preferably with north European looks, who could pass for 14-18 years old. (This role also includes an on-stage rape, so only actresses over the age of 18)

In addition, I'm looking for eight people to play Briton warriors and Roman soldiers (4 Britons, 4 Romans). In several scenes they create the world and communicate the story through movement, and they're in all of the battle scenes.

There is a lot of fight choreography, physical movement, and dance in this show, so all actors auditioning (including speaking roles) should be in decent/good physical shape.

Also looking for the following crew:

- Sound / Light operator (experience doing tech for at least two previous shows)
- Production Assistants to help with sets, running concessions/box office (prior experience not necessary)

Auditions are June 13th and 14th, at Austin Java Co. Actors may perform a monologue, but sides for each character will also be provided upon request.

Rehearsals are Mondays-Tuesdays-Thursdays at Dougherty Arts Center, June 27th-July 28th. Tech is August 1st-2nd, performances August 3rd-6th at Salvage Vanguard Theater.
