Fairfield Footlighters are thrilled to announce auditions for our February production of “The Iliad, The Odyssey, and All of Greek Mythology in 99 Minutes or Less” by Jay Hopkins and John Hunter. Auditions will take place at the Fairfield Community Arts Center (in the theater) on Tuesday November 17th at 6:30pm. Due to the ensemble nature of the show, we are asking all those auditioning to arrive at 6:30 - there will not be specific slots to sign up for.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script and improv games.
Performances will be February 19-21, 2027 at the Fairfield Community Arts Center.
“The Iliad, The Odyssey, and all of Greek Mythology” is a fast-paced retelling of the classic Greek Myths. The original script is written for a cast of 3 males and 2 females, with each actor portraying a plethora of characters. Below is a brief description of the players, but please note casting is flexible - female presenting actors may play “male” roles and vice versa.
Male 1- Mature and Masculine. Speaks with Authority. Key roles are Zeus, Achilles, and Perseus
Male 2 - Impulsive and Eager. More emotional and passionate. Key roles are Odysseus, Hector, and Hera.
Male 3 - Goofy and cartoon-like. Actor with strong comedic sense and timing. Key roles are Paris, Agamemnon, and Hercules
Female 1 - More mature of the 2 women. Shows wounded emotions and dignity. Key roles are Athena, Demeter, and Patroklus.
Female 2 - More ingenue, but plays older as well. Youthful and maybe a little naive. Key roles are Aphrodite, Pandora, and Helen of Troy.
Actors of all ethnicities and gender identities are encouraged to audition.
If you have any questions about auditions, cannot attend the audition date, or need to arrive later than 6:30 on the audition date, please contact director Shelby Carter Collins at [email protected].
