Gualala Arts Promoting public interest and participation in the arts since 1961
Gualala Arts Theater is proud to announce its 2016 musical production of La Cage aux Folles, directed by Teo Ariola with musical direction by Don Krieger. Show Dates: July 22, 23, 24 and 29, 30, 31, 2016.
La Cage aux Folles is a musical with a book by Harvey Fierstein, lyrics and music by Jerry Herman. Based on the 1973 French play of the same name by Jean Poiret, it focuses on a gay couple.
Georges, the manager of a Saint-Tropez nightclub featuring drag entertainment, and Albin, his romantic partner and star attraction, and the farcical adventures that ensue when Georges’ son, Jean-Michel, brings home his fiancé’s ultra-conservative parents to meet them. La cage aux folles literally means “the cage of mad women.” However folles is also a slang term for effeminate homosexuals (queens).
Auditions are open to anyone interested in playing a role: singing and non-singing roles for women, men and older mature youth.
Production crew is also needed: set designers, builders, artists, painters, costumers and backstage crew. No previous experience is necessary.
