Arcas Productions exists to promote a healthy male body image through theatre and dance.
We are looking for men of all ages, shapes, and sizes for a movement theatre adaptation of Beowulf, to be performed at Studio BE in the Spring.
The show will be heavily ensemble-based, with three featured roles, culled from the ensemble: Beowulf (our hero), Grendel/Grendel's mother (our monsters, played by the same man), and Wiglaf (our narrator, a young man and a reluctant hero). Other roles include Hrothgar (the king), Unferth (an ill-tempered warrior), and old Beowulf (our hero after 50 years of ruling his people).
Auditions will be held on Saturday, February 18 at 3:30pm at ARCC Ballet, 2220 N Elston Ave, Chicago, IL
Rehearsals start March 5, twice a week in the evenings, adding Sundays in April and May, and the show runs for eight performances May 31 through June 10.
Come prepared to move. You may be asked to read a short side at the audition, but there is no need to prepare a monologue.

No appointment required, though it would be appreciated, especially if you plan on auditioning for the roles of Beowulf, Grendel/Grendel's mother, or Wiglaf.
Please email or call with questions.
