Current Production
AUDITION… ‘COSI’
MTC will be holding Auditions for ‘COSI’, an Australian play by Louis Nowra –
Monday 10th December and Tuesday 11th December at 6:30pm. Greenroom, Majestic Theatre, Malanda.
Director Jean Newman requires seven males and four females of various ages.
‘Cosi’ is a terrific play about madness, illusion, sanity…and theatre. Set in a mental institution in 1971, Lewis, a young director, takes on the task of mounting a production of Mozart’s ‘Cosi Fan Tutte’ in the burnt-out theatre while protests against the Vietnam War are being staged outside. COSI takes a poignant look at life through the eyes of patients at an insane asylum. On another level, it’s a hilarious take on the madness of creative endeavour and the chaotic terror of getting up there and making a fool of yourself.
