Sneak Peek!

Although our entire 2026-2027 season won’t be announced until our BRAVO event on July 24th, we are pleased to give you advance word on the first show of our season, which will be The Burial at Thebes, Nobel Prize-winning poet Seamus Heaney’s adaptation of Sophocles’ Antigone. We are bringing you this exciting news now because auditions are coming soon so we didn’t want to wait until the 24th to let you know.

Open auditions will be held on Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 3 and 4, at 7 pm, at The Blue Slipper Theatre, 113 E. Callender, Livingston. Roles are available for men and women of any age.

The Burial at Thebes, first commissioned by Dublin’s Abbey Theatre as part of its centenary celebrations in 2004, brings a powerful new imagining of Sophocles’ 5th Century BCE masterpiece that “takes Sophocles’ dense, concentrated poetry and decants it into a beautifully transparent contemporary idiom” (The Irish Times). The story examines the clash of family duty vs. civic duty, natural laws vs. manmade rules, and a woman’s personal morality at odds with a tyrannical ruler who stubbornly sees his own decrees as dominant to the law of the land.

The one-act play, directed by Marc Beaudin (Old Times, No Exit, Dracula, etc.), will run weekends from Oct. 2 through 11. Audition sides will be available during the auditions. No advance preparation is needed, and actors of all experience levels are encouraged to audition. Actors are free to come to either audition session. Callbacks may be scheduled only if needed.
