Special to The Jewish News

T

he Jewish Ensemble
Theatre (JET) is look-
ing for a talented
10-year-old boy to take on a
major role in its fall produc-
tion of Today I Am a Fountain
Pen by Israel Horovitz. The
professional group of players
has set a June 30 deadline for
interested young people to
sign up to audition.
"Formal rehearsals will
begin Sept. 21, but I want ex-
tra time to do some coaching,"
said Evelyn Orbach, artistic
director of Michigan's only
Jewish professional acting
company. Ms. Orbach will
direct this first presentation
of the 1992-93 season.
The play is a family comedy
set in Sault Ste. Marie in the
early 1940s. Part of a triolgy
that includes last season's A
Rosen By Any Other Name,
the production shows the boy
going through various stages
of maturity.
Because the group is profes-
sional, the selected young ac-
tor will be paid for his work-
ing time.

theater training, will be in
three segments. First, there
will be a meeting with Ms.
Orbach, who will take the boy
through acting exercises and
readings. Second, there will
be a performance of a
designated scene. Third, there
will be a session during which
all cast finalists will read
scenes and improvise
together.
"This is only worth doing if
both the children and their
parents really want to do it,"
Ms. Orbach said. The selected
actor will have to be prepared
to be in 20 performances, with
rehearsals scheduled five
hours a day, six days a week.
The three other plays set for
next season are The Queen's
Physician by Betty Neustat, a
fictional account of a romance
between the queen of Spain
and her Jewish doctor;
Grownups by Jules Pfeiffer, a
contemporary family comedy;
and The Square Root of Three
by Michael Golder, a surprise
comedy.
JET's mission is to stage
plays by Jewish playwrights,
Jewish themes or of those
with interest to Jewish
audiences.
