Come one! Come all! Auditions for the spring play, UBU MORT-VIVANT, will be held in Babcock on Monday Jan 12 and Tuesday Jan 13 at 7pm!

No prep necessary. No prior experience required.

Ubu Mort-Vivant (“Ubu the Living Dead”) is a recently discovered contested addition to the Ubu canon of plays composed by the French proto-absurdist playwright Alfred Jarry (1873-1907). Written in 1937, thirty years after its author’s death, Ubu Mort-Vivant finds deposed autocrat Pa Ubu using highly unconventional (i.e. supernatural) means to return to power after a complete defeat at the hands of his enemies. Presciently forecasting the global return of strongman rule in the twenty-first century, Ubu Mort-Vivant is an avant-garde riot of obscenity, zombies, and deadly serious ridiculousness.
