The Maplewood Strollers to Hold Auditions for "The Colored Museum" by George C. Wolfe

originally published: 01/04/2025

(MAPLEWOOD, NJ) -- The Maplewood Strollers are holding auditions for The Colored Museum by George C. Wolfe on Monday, January 13 and Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at the Burgdorff Center. Auditions will take place from 7:00pm to 10:00pm both nights.  Callbacks will take place on Wednesday, January 15th at 7:00pm.  The production will be Directed by Victoria Lauture Duncker with Musical Direction by Ebony Wiggins.

The Colored Museum is a powerful and satirical exploration (in the spirit of “In Living Color!”) of African American identity through a series of 11 “exhibits” (scenes and songs). This thought-provoking play challenges stereotypes and celebrates Black culture with humor and heart.

Please prepare a 90-second monologue and 16 bars of a gospel or a R&B inspired song (with clearly marked sheet music) in the style of the show. Material should show range and an understanding of dramatic satire.

Casting Requirements: Actors who identify as African American, Black or of the African Diaspora with improvisational skills, who are familiar with the genre of satire and the ability to embody different characters are strongly encouraged to apply.

The Burgdorff Center is located at 10 Durand Road in Maplewood, New Jersey.
