    "What made you get into theatre?" A Beckett-inspired wait for a missing actor leads to a sharing of confidences. A tender piece. Catch the production by Theatrical Shenanigans: https://theatricalshenanigans.podbean.com/

  • Bram Hartman: Auditioning for Godot

    With a sharp and conversational pace, Dzubak captures the waiting game for Ethan and Victor, two quite different people, but who are not too dissimilar. Both have experienced setbacks, but still remain optimistic. You could easily place yourselves into the shoes of both Ethan and Victor and that makes the piece a success.

  • Morey Norkin: Auditioning for Godot

    Although Cole Hunter Dzubak uses a Godot theme, there are no gimmicks, no schtick, just a deeply human conversation between two people of different generations, each trying to get their lives back on track after emotional/physical upheaval. An audition is kind of a refuge for them both. The dialogue is effortless, real, and completely engaging. Of course, there is waiting. But this mainly serves to allow the conversation to continue and a new friendship to bloom. Simple to stage, so hopefully someone will make that happen.
