Open Auditions for Off-Broadway Hit, Puppetry of the Penis
SO YOU WANNA BE A STAR?
ASPIRING PENIS PUPPETEERS WANTED FOR OPEN AUDITIONS FOR OFF-BROADWAY HIT, PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS ON JAN 17 AT 11 AM
MUST HAVE OWN EQUIPMENT
PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS, the internationally acclaimed phenomenon, has announced plans to further expand the production following overwhelming requests to tour worldwide. Creators Simon Morley and David Friend (Friendy) will be holding auditions for a new band of penis puppeteers in New York on Thu. Jan. 17 at 11 AM at the John Houseman Theatre, 450 W. 42nd St. (9th -10th Aves). The judges include Michael Musto and Time Out New York's sex columnist Jamie Bufalino.
The demand for this outrageous show is such that Morley and Friendy are now in search of more like-minded gentleman who possess a unique combination of natural talent and a complete lack of shame to help satisfy the world's thirst for the show. The vision is to expand and franchise PUPPETRY until, like the former British one, the sun never sets on the PENIS empire, no matter how hard it tries to.
Currently the original puppeteers are playing to sold-out houses in New York, while other companies perform in Toronto, Sydney and a tour in the UK. This venture will enable five teams of puppeteers to perform simultaneously throughout the globe.
Penis puppeteers should come to the auditions with a flexible working attitude and be ready to demonstrate their own genital installations. PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS is an equal opportunity employer and will audition both circumcised and uncircumcised genital origami hopefuls. Successful applicants may join Simon and Friendy on a worldwide tour as stars of PUPPETRY later this year.
The Master Class will include instructions on such classic installations as the Eiffel Tower, the Hamburger, the Loch Ness Monster, the Windsurfer and the Wristwatch. Master Class participants are guaranteed an audition time the following day. Beginning Jan. 3, information packets will be available at the Houseman box office every day after 1 PM.
