> MUSEUM TO HOLD AUDITIONS FOR 2014 BRAILLE READER’S THEATER PRODUCTION
>  
> The Museum of the American Printing House for the Blind will hold auditions for its Braille Reader’s Theater production to be presented February 28 and March 1,  2014.
>  
> Auditions will take place in the Museum Reception Room at 1839 Frankfort Avenue on Thursday, December 12, 3:30 to 5:30 pm, Friday, December 13, 11 am to 1 pm., and Saturday, December 15, 1-3 p.m. 
>  
> Auditions will consist of cold readings, in braille, from the script. Individuals interested in taking part should plan to attend only one of the audition times.
>  
> Reader’s theater is often defined by what it doesn’t involve -- no memorizing, few or no props, no costumes, no sets. However, it is more than simply reading. The actors use intonation and gestures appropriate for their characters and their characters’ words; the stage directions are also read by an actor.
>  
> Two plays are under consideration:  Our Town, the classic American play by Thornton Wilder, and The Curious Savage, by John Patrick.  Our Town, which won the Pulitzer Prize for drama, celebrates the ordinary, often unappreciated, rhythms of daily life in a small town at the turn of the twentieth century.  The Curious Savage is a funny, touching story about an eccentric millionaire, greedy step-children, and quirky inmates of a mental hospital all thrown together in search of wealth and happiness.
>  
> The cast will meet for a read-through on Sunday, January 5, at 2 p.m. Rehearsals will continue on Sunday afternoons through January and February. Not all actors will be needed at all rehearsals.
>  
> People interested in auditioning who cannot attend during the designated times should contact Katie Carpenter at kcarpenter at aph.org or 899-2213 for alternate arrangements. Questions should also be directed to her.
