Major Gadfly Announcements!

Thanks for Helping to Make Our First Season a Success!


Thanks to supporters like you, Gadfly feels confident to charge ahead with
our plans for a second season! This season we've chosen to streamline some
things, and delve deeper into others. You'll see smaller cast sizes but more
opportunity for involvement. You'll see the cozy spaces you know and love,
but with fewer set pieces in them (for the most part). You will see more
work you've never heard of and edgier work that you may have heard of. We've
done all of this in part for fiscal reasons, but in part so we can focus on
the things most important to us; hiring quality artists and technicians,
becoming better Gadflies for the GLBT community, for women, and for art in
general. So what exactly is next?!


First up we are looking for performers, silent auction donations, and
participants for our 2011 fundraiser. Exact date, time, and location are
TBD, but go ahead and sign up/volunteer now! No act is too bizarre or too
ordinary (it may be too large depending on the venue, but we'll help you
scale it down if it is). We want poets, comedians, bands (must be small and
maybe even acoustic), scenes from shows, etc. This is a GREAT opportunity to
strut your stuff for a receptive audience. As this is a benefit, performers
will not be paid, but they will be allowed to bring a guest to the event for
free. The event will be in late July so you've got plenty of time to
prepare. We are also in need of goods, services, and whatever else you've
got for our silent auction! So what is this fundraiser funding?


Well, Our Second Season of Course! This Season We Are Bringing You:

The Good Body by Eve Ensler:

Auditions and More!


Auditions for Ensler's The Good Body and Stephen Karam's Speech and Debate will both take place between 6 and 9 P.M. on June 26th and 27th. Please just e-mail us at gadflytheatre@gmail.com sign up! For The Good Body, we need 3 females of varying ethnicities and body types. We feel very strongly about this, all women are encouraged to audition.

For Speech and Debate we need two actors and one plus-sized actress who can play between ages 15 and 18 and one actress who can play in her early thirties. One of the actors needs to be able to play a gay character who is unable (nor does he want) to cover up his sexuality. If you aren't sure you fit into these categories, please help us spread the word!

Payment is TBD and partially based on cut of the house.
All roles are paid a stipend, we just can't promise an amount yet. Again, just
e-mail us to sign up for an audition or inquire about opportunities for
technicians! As always, GLBT artists are especially encouraged to apply.


Stay tuned for an announcement in the next day or two about an opportunity to be
added to our rockin' Board of Directors!

Peace, passion, and love.
