The DeFakto Theatre Co. will be holding auditions for our upcoming show, Happiness, on Saturday Apr. 19th from 10am-4pm at the Morpheus Theatre Rehearsal Space (located in the basement of the Parkdale Community Centre).
Please prepare ONE contemporary monologue and be prepared to do some cold reads from the script.
We do many things for the sake of being happy, but are we truly happy? What does it mean to be happy? Could happiness actually be more akin to a neurosis, a psychiatric disorder, or is it just a nice feeling we’re all addicted to? In the new play, Happiness, by Parvis Ramirez, produced by The DeFakto Theatre Co., four office workers grapple with love, life and the allusiveness of a little thing called happiness.
