Announcing Auditions for 44 Plays for 44 Presidents
44 PLAYS FOR 44 PRESIDENTS is a 2-hour play comprised of biographical sketches of forty-four of the most influential and famous (or infamous) Americans of all time. By turns hysterical, musical, tragical, farce-ical, and dance hall-ical, this play parades our history before us in a pageant of the best and worst that America has to offer. Written by current and former Chicago Neo-Futurists in the high-energy fast-paced style of their long-running hit TOO MUCH LIGHT MAKES THE BABY GO BLIND, 44 PLAYS FOR 44 PRESIDENTS embraces a melting pot of theatrical styles as it tells the story of this country through the lives of the men who (for better or for worse) have led us to where we are today.

Preparation
- EITHER: Prepare a brief monologue (2 min max) to be delivered as direct audience address - any genre is great.
- OR: Prepare one of the sides available - see link below. You do not need to memorize it, but it should be familiar enough to be delivered as direct audience address - ie, you should not be staring at the page. The sides are not gender-specific.
- Please bring a recent photo and resume, stapled back-to-back.
