Budding or experienced actors are invited to audition to become a gay 'anti-Christ' character in a boundary-pushing new play planned at the University of Auckland. Ian the Antichrist is the coming-of-age story of "the boy born of a she-goat", who has to handle the huge pressures of coming out, becoming an adult, finding love, and managing a 'homocidal' best friend, explains Gibb Seabrook of Stage 2 Productions. "Ian's boyfriend's name is Jesus - and he's an atheist. With the backdrop of E.V.A.L. Corp, this show examines the affects of church, family and sexuality on your not-so-ordinary teenager and his friends," reveals Seabrook. The season will run from 23 to 26 July, with auditions planned for Saturday 31 May at the University of Auckland. Rehearsals run from early June. Stage 2 Productions are currently staging Suburbia, an edgy story of 21st-Centry youth, at the University of Auckland's Maidment Theatre, to appreciative reviews.
