AUDITIONS — "A Doll's House"

The Shasta College theatre department is thrilled to announce auditions for its upcoming Fall 2024 production of Henrik Ibsen’s timeless masterpiece, "A Doll's House." Auditions will take place on August 26th and 27th at 6:00pm in the Shasta College Theatre.

Henrik Ibsen, the renowned Norwegian dramatist, left an indelible mark on European theatre with his groundbreaking works. "A Doll's House" is a testament to his genius, capturing audiences with its potent social commentary and compelling characters. Amy Herzog’s acclaimed translation breathes new life into this classic, ensuring a fresh and exhilarating experience for modern audiences.

"A Doll's House" delves into themes of identity, societal expectations, and personal liberation. Set in 19th-century Norway, the play follows Nora Helmer, a seemingly happy wife and mother, as she navigates the confines of marriage and societal norms. As the facade of domestic bliss begins to crumble, Nora grapples with her own autonomy and the sacrifices she has made to conform to societal expectations.

Auditions are open to Shasta College students and community members. Prospective participants are encouraged to prepare a one-minute dramatic monologue. Rehearsals are slated to begin promptly after Labor Day, leading up to a captivating production scheduled for mid-October.

“A Doll’s House” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. For inquiries and further information, interested parties are encouraged to contact Dr. Greg Thorson at gthorson@shastacollege.edu.
