The Austin Community College Drama Department will hold auditions for Caryl Churchill’s “Far Away” on September 11 at 7 p.m. in the third floor Gallery Theater of the Rio Grande Campus, 1212 Rio Grande.

Roles are available for one young woman, age 8-10; one to two women, ages 18-30; one man, age 18-30; and 10-15 men and women.

Those auditioning should prepare a 1-2 minute monologue and bring a current headshot and resume as applicable. No appointments are necessary; perusal scripts will be available for checkout from the RGC library.

Callbacks, which will consist of readings from the script, will take place September 12 at 7 p.m., also in the Gallery Theater.

Directed by Guest Director Laura Somers, “Far Away” opens Friday, Oct. 19, and runs Oct. 20, 21, 26, 27, and 28. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m., and Sundays are at 2 p.m.

“Far Away” is a gripping hour-long play that packs the substance of several full-length dramas. Essentially an apocalyptic play about an Armageddon created by its own victims, it provides a searing contrast between the world we treasure and the horror we have made of it.
