Penn State Altoona will hold auditions for the spring 2025 production of Sophie Treadwell's "Machinal" from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, January 15 and 16, in the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts.
"Machinal" is a powerful 1928 expressionistic piece predicting society will become living machines. Jazz musicians and dancers aid in telling a feminist protagonist's path to the electric chair.
Available roles include 8 to 12 ensemble actors, including some with speaking roles and one strong female actor. The production will also feature 4 to 12 dancers, some with speaking roles.
