Auditions for ‘ART’
By Yasmina Reza
Translated by Christopher Hampton
Directed by Derek Baxter (derek@carrollwoodcenter.org)
The Carrollwood Cultural Center and director Derek Baxter are looking to cast three male-identifying actors for the play ART by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton.
How much are you willing to pay for a painting? This simple question creates a slowly growing bonfire in Yasmina Reza’s Tony and Olivier-Award-winning intellectual comedy about the lives of three long-time friends, the meaning of art and life, and the lengths we go to protect those we care about.

- Sunday, November 14, 2021 / 6 pm to 8 pm
- Monday, November 15, 2021 / 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm

Character Breakdown:
MARC: A practical and down-to-earth man in his 30 or 40s, not a fan of modern art.
SERGE: A man who has found peace in modern art where the old rules are thrown out and acceptance and instinct governs what is valuable. Also in his 30 or 40s
YVAN: A man in his 20s or 30’s who is moved by the painting and finds himself in the middle of his friends’ feud.
Please prepare a one-minute monologue and there will also be cold readings from the script.
