    Bruja by Luis Alfaro, directed by Loretta Greco.
    From the critically acclaimed writer of Oedipus el Rey comes a contemporary story so haunting and sensual, it explodes one of the ancient myths most firmly embedded in our culture. A sizzling look at a sorceress scorned.
    First Rehearsal: April 30, 2012, Closing: June 24, 2012, Possible Extension: July 8, 2012.

    Seeking:
    MEDEA—25-30. The witch. Dominant, clever, alluring, dangerous, earthy. Fiercely loving. Specialty: forbidden potions. An illegal immigrant and now-single mother of two young boys, she fights both to reclaim her honor and the eyes of the younger man who left her.
    Spanish fluency.

    JASON—20’s. Medea’s ex. Virile, strong, impassioned, open, loving, playful, and unashamed. He overflows with a lust for pleasure, and still strives to be an affectionate father.
    Spanish fluency.

    LA VIEJA—50-100. Medea’s life-long maid, servant, cook, and caregiver to the children. Single, cynical, smart, crude. Plays mother to both Medea and the two boys. She’ll share her vast wisdom whether you want to listen to it or not.
    Spanish fluency.

    AEGEUS—50’s. Rich and unhappy. His time is running out and he is desperate to have children. Aging, lonely, horny, with his marriage stuck in a rut. Physically and emotionally harmless, his masculine ego needs stroking.
    Spanish fluency.

    CREON—40’s. A lucrative business kingpin and the father of Jason’s new lover. Honest, direct, calm, sharp, professional, well-groomed, well-spoken. He holds influence over a mob-like social network, one that he uses to ostracize Medea.
    Spanish fluency.

    AEA & non-AEA. Pay.


    General Audition Policy

    Magic Theatre casts both Equity and non-Equity actors. In accordance with the Bay Area Theatre Contract Tier 4, Magic Theatre holds two Equity-only auditions for specific shows each year. These are on the Equity hotline at least one week prior to the audition and posted in the AEA office. Equity actors self-select for these auditions.

    In addition, Magic Theatre holds one open call general audition and attends the annual Theatre Bay Area General Auditions.

    We do encourage headshot/resume submissions from both Equity and non-Equity throughout the year and which can result in an invitation to audition for a specific show.

    Please mail headshot/resume to:
