The Fuhrmann Performing Arts Society and Center Of Performing Arts (COPA) present an original musical production by Robert Sturcken called “This Stage of LOVE”. The play follows its cast through the experiences of taking part in a play inside of a play. When a once famous director wants to get back into the spotlight his cast learns more than they expected about theater and about themselves as well.
From the auditions to curtain call we see the excitement, trauma, drama and most of all the LOVE that being in the theater provides. This is the inaugural cast and run, and promises to be a fun ride.
Open auditions will take place Saturday, August 24 at 1 p.m. Those interested in auditioning should be 16 years of age or older and should come prepared to recite a brief monologue and two songs. The monologue should be light and comedic and the songs, one ballad and one up tempo, should be performed a cappella. Auditions will be held at COPA, 201 N. Columbia St. in Downtown Covington.
The show runs November 1 – 3 and 8 – 10 at the Fuhrmann Auditorium in Downtown Covington. The cast of 25 will be directed by Robert Sturcken and co-directed by New Orleans theatre notables, Kellan Sigl and Ed Morvant. Ticket information will be released in the upcoming months. For more information, contact COPA at 985-727-4638.
At the Center Of Performing Arts, our goal is to provide an environment in which individuals can explore their artistic expression wherever their musical dreams may lead. Robert Sturcken, with 39 years as a professional musician and a deep love and respect for the art of music, has created Center Of Performing Arts to assure that anyone with a musical interest is afforded boundless opportunity.
