Since there are always multiple projects lined up for Zero Untitled, there is no rest for the wicked – we have auditions for two short staged readings coming up.  “Textual Overture” is our poetry/live music/short play series that will be coming up on March 25th.  Two of the works presented will be given staged readings; both works have been done by ZU before, but we are starting to bring back a lot of the older works.

Michael Verderber will be directing staged readings (with minimal blocking) for two of his older plays – “Seeing is Misbelieving: The Rorschach Test” (previously staged in 2013) and “Excerpts From a Life Once Lived” (last staged in 2007).  The idea is to cast primarily newer actors, stage managers, etc and reinvent the wheel for the “Seeing…” script, and to celebrate the upcoming publication of “Excerpts From A Life Once Lived” (through Ealain Magazine) which should be released in the next few months.

“Excerpts From a Life Once Lived” is the soon-to-be published drama about a virus that has wiped out 87% of the population.  Survivors tell their tales of perseverance and woe.
“Seeing is Misbelieving: The Rorschach Test” is a comedic skit about students scamming a professor during his Rorschach test. We will collectively rewrite several portions of this play.

Although some precasting has already been done, the private auditions will be held on March 10th. Time and location will be announced shortly.
