Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in Kirk Players’ open auditions for Night of January 16th, by Ayn Rand. We will be assigning time slots for auditions anywhere from 7-10pm on August 9th and 11th.
Note: auditioners must wear masks coming into the St. Andrew’s building and during their wait time. CDC guidelines will determine if masks need to be worn during auditions as well.
Night of January 16th was written by Ayn Rand. Set in a courtroom during a murder trial, an unusual feature of the play is that members of the audience are chosen to play the jury. The court hears the case of Karen Andre, a former secretary and lover of businessman Bjorn Faulkner, of whose murder she is accused. The play does not directly portray the events leading to Faulkner's death; instead, the jury must rely on character testimony to decide whether Andre is guilty. The play's ending depends on their verdict. Rand's intention was to dramatize a conflict between individualism and conformity, with the jury's verdict revealing which viewpoint they preferred.
The details: Rehearsals will be held every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at St. Andrew Church from 7-10PM. Production week begins our nightly rehearsal schedule beginning Sunday, October 8th and our performance dates are Friday, October 15 and Saturday, October 16 at 7:30pm, and Sunday, October 17 at 2pm at Mundelein High School Theatre.
Deadline to submit audition forms is August 3.
Your Production Team,
Kat Basso, Director
Jess Motyka, Assistant Director
Barb Selvaggio, Stage Manager
Gretchen Grassl, Artistic Director
