The Baxter Theatre Centre, Zabalaza Theatre Festival
and Magnet Theatre are looking for male actors between the ages of 20 and 35
years, with the ability to sing, for an upcoming production of Passage,
scheduled for staging at the Baxter’s Golden Arrow Studio.
Auditions will be held in the Baxter’s new rehearsal
room at 10:00 on 8 and 9 November 2013. Actors should prepare a 4-to-5 minute
monologue on “What makes a man?”
What does it
mean to be a good man in South Africa today? How do we grow from boys into
responsible, caring men? How do men engage with power without resorting to violence?
These are the questions that will be explored in
Passage, an exciting new collaboration between the Baxter Theatre
Centre/Zabalaza and Magnet Theatre.
Directed by Thando Doni (graduate of the Magnet
Training Programme, Zabalaza Theatre Festival Best Director winner and
recipient of the GIPCA emerging director’s bursary), one of the most inspired, energized and creative directors in South Africa at the moment…
And performed by 5 new talents on the Cape Town
stage, Passage goes to the heart of the crisis of violence against women in
South Africa. Passage not only explores the values, assumptions, fears and
behaviours that allow such violence to be perpetrated but investigates, in our
multicultural context, how boys transition into men.
Looking at the rites of
passage that boys undergo in South Africa to move from childhood to responsible
adulthood, the production points to actions that men can take to redefine and
reconstruct a positive notion of male masculinity.

Rehearsals: 20 Jan to 23 February 2014
Township tour: 24 February to 2 March 2014
