Take one rural Russian town, add a greedy mayor, a corrupt group of officials, and one charming con man, and you have the ingredients for a classic comic romp.
Open auditions and crew call for the wild comedy “The Government Inspector” will be held April 18 and 20 by the Ripon Summer Players. There are 17 roles for men and women in this delightful comedy.
Auditions will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. each evening in Benstead Theatre, C.J. Rodman Center for the Arts, on the campus.
An updated adaptation of the play, one of the world’s great farces, will be presented June 2-4, 2017. Ripon Summer Players is a joint project of the Ripon Noon Kiwanis and the Ripon College Department of Theatre, and was founded to provide quality live theatre for the community.
