Auditions

ra uCBrSBSSi San rin in 1 BS BBiB 0 BYWilliam Bowman Go! correspondent

Grant Turner wants to bring Shakespeare to La Grande, and he's looking for a dedicated, craftoriented troupe to help. d

iShakespeare'sl plays just

speak to me," he said.'There's a real emotional zest to them. I can identify with Hamlet, or I feel the way Macbeth feels."

But more than that, Turner enjoys the intellectual challenge thatthe plays provide.

"Ifthe actorshave done their homework and the director has done his homework, then the audience absolutely should be abletounderstand 100 percent of what they see and hear. I don't think that happens 99 percent of the time, but I think it can happen and should happen," he said.

Turner attended Eastern Oregon State College from 1988 to 1992. He was a part of the first plays performed in the newly built Schwartz and McKenzie theaters.

"The theater department was really spreading its wings," he said.'We were putting a stake in the ground and saying this is who we are, this is what we can do. I think we were all artistically firing on all cylinders."

And now, after moving to Portland, producing 34 of the 37 Shakespeare plays and working with some of the world's finest Shakespearean talent, he's returning with a mind to bring Shakespeare back with him.

Turner's plan is to gather a dozenactorstoproduce atleast two Shakespeare plays a year. The company will meet on a monthly basis to hone their skills.

"The idea of working with the same people over and over again,

pushing and pulling them to constantly expand their toolboxes, is exciting to me," he said.

Turner isn't looking for actors of a specific sex, age, race, ethnicity or creed. Rather, Turner sees working with actors who value the craftoftheateressentialto achieving his goals.

"There's a lot of good-looking and handsome people in this world we call'actors,"'he said,"actors who can stand on stage or be on screen and can say lines."

But to Turner that's less than half the job. The real job is the craft.

"I love diving in to these texts," he said,"solving the riddle, sifting through all the clues the author has provided, and I love tying all that together in what I feel is a satisf ying story."

Turner is looking for actors who can create a"shared acting experience" with the audience, actors who have the skills to engage the audience with their character intellectually and emotionally.

"Diving in the text," he said, "finding the clues the author has provided, punching up those clues, serving them to the audience so that they're engaged."

Turner wants actors who can engage the audience, who can "turn to that audience member and say, What's up? What light through yonder window breaks?'

"It's probably something that hasn't been seen in iLa Grande) before," hesaid."Ihopetoconvince the avidtheater-goerthatthisis a new way to see the work. I hope to convince the infrequent viewer or the viewer who's never been to see the theater that Shakespeare plays and theater in general are a worthy endeavor."

ABOUTTHE AUDITIONS The first round of auditions is scheduled for 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Aug. 4-5 at the Stage Door Theater. The final company is to be decided by September. Actors should prepare two contrasting Shakespearean monologues (at least one in verse) no more than three minutes in length. All acting assignments will be paid.

ABOUTTHE COMPANY The plan is to gather a team of12 actors to produce two productions a year (spring and fall) in the Stage Door Theater. Once assembled, the company will meet monthly for

the first several months to work on and hone their skills. Actors will focus on leaning to understand and use the rhetoric and verbal trick of blank verse to tell these epic stories. The company will bring in guest Shakespearean scholars and practitioners to aid better understanding of the craft. Once the initial training is completed, the company will select the inaugural production based on the talents and makeup of the performers.
