The Miser (Chambers) by Bruin Theatre in Kenner, Louisiana

What To Know About This Production

Molière's The Miser (in French, L'avare) is a five-act stage play generally classified as a comedy of manners. Throughout the play, the author brilliantly blends satire and farce with a fast-moving plot that features many surprises. It was first performed on September 9, 1668, at the court of the French king, Louis XIV. The action takes place in Paris in the 1660s at the residence of an elderly miser named Harpagon. The sun king Louis XIV sits on the throne of France, presiding over an age of high fashion, architectural splendor, titillating gossip, and court intrigue.

Auditions For The Miser (Chambers)

What To Expect At Auditions

Auditionees should prepare the sides that will be available in the theatre classroom. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE MEMORIZED. The first two auditions will be closed, meaning only directors and stage managers will be in room for audition. The call backs will be an open audition for everyone auditioning to see auditions. Auditions usually are a thankless job- be prepared to sit and wait until your audition which may only be two minutes long. YOU WILL AUDITION WITH YOUR SIDES (audition parts) IN YOUR HAND.
