\"Auditions<\/p>\n

Our Spring 2016 production is Getting to Here by Lisa N\u00ed Laoire.<\/em><\/h4>\n

This is a new piece of writing for the ITG\u00a0where, from very personal perspectives,\u00a0we\u00a0look back over some of the key events of the 100 years which separate us from Easter 1916.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Casting both a cold eye and a tender eye on Ireland\u2026more accurately, lending an ear to the histories and herstories of how we got to where we are now.<\/h4>\n

We\u00a0use the voices of Ireland to recount the personal tales which, taken together, tell us something truthful about the short but poignant history since the proclamation of the Irish Republic a century ago.<\/h4>\n

With story-telling,\u00a0audio-visual flash-backs and theatre, we explore and preserve some of the more notable transitions in Irish history.<\/h4>\n

We take a look at where we are now and how we got here.<\/h4>\n

Teacher (Male) 30 \u2013 45:
\n<\/strong>Erratic, wild, miserable \u00a0and a touch eccentric. He can\u2019t understand why he became a teacher, which is reflected in his every action.<\/h4>\n

Student (Female) 23 \u2013 35:
\n<\/strong>Confident, loud and slightly disturbed. Has experienced too much, too soon without much adult nurturing and as a result has become inconsistent in her speech and defensive about everything.<\/h4>\n

\n<\/strong>Solemn, reflective and strong willed. Well composed and unshaken by others.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

Father (Male): 55-65:
\n<\/strong>Grumpy, defensive and argumentative. He is usually lost as to what is going on and ends up as the butt of every joke.<\/h4>\n

Daughter (Female): 25-35:
\n<\/strong>Solid character with a strong personality but often quiet. Has had to fight for her voice to be heard.<\/h4>\n

Son (Male): 25 \u2013 35:
\n<\/strong>Class clown and a mammy\u2019s boy. Though generally playful and upbeat he has a dark secret.<\/h4>\n

Politician 40 \u2013 65 (Male):
\n<\/strong>Over the top, arrogant and sleazy. BIG personality. Always appears to be shouting when he\u2019s talking. A smile permanently painted on his face<\/h4>\n

\n<\/strong>Diverse role to play with buckets of personality. Extremely extroverted, loves to be the centre of attention.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
