Bread & Water Theatre will be launching its largest production to date in August with auditions for William Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida. This play, if you are unfamiliar with it, takes place seven years into the Trojan War and serves as a commentary on the horror of war. We’ll be adapting this play into a more modern setting using the current struggles in Darfur, Iraq and elseware to inspire the production process. Which means for us that we will be moving away from puffy shirts and tights to military fatigues and machetes.

To that end we are beginning our search for costumes and other material for the show and are looking for your help. The modern military uniform is much different than what we have seen in the past and what is currently available in the stores. If you know a veteran of the Iraq/Afghanistan wars who would be able to donate military fatigues, boots, gas masks and/or any other similar type of item to our cause it would be greatly appreciated. At the end of the production we can either make arrangements to return the clothing or donate it to the theatre for a tax credit. We would also be happy to do an add exchange with any organization who is willing and able to help us on our search.

Please pass this message along to anyone who may be interested.
