There’s a recession on, and TheColu.mn is committed to connecting our readers with possible employment opportunities in the community. When we hear of LGBT jobs, we’ll pass them along. Today’s finds include a line cook job at Tickles, a legal internship at the Minnesota AIDS Project, an acting gig for BENT, and coordinating a research project at Rainbow Health Initiative.

BENT is a great play. I’m not sure what compensation is being offered but auditions are coming up quickly:

Actors Theatre of MN in association with Candid Theatre presents:
BENT, by Martin Sherman
Auditions (and performances) will be held at the
Lowry Theatre downtown St. Paul
16 West 5th Street
St. Paul, MN 55102

DATES & TIMES:

February 15th and 16th from 7-10pm ~ Callbacks on February 17th from 7-10pm (prepare short dramatic monologue or read from script)

Show Info:
BENT is the story of Max and Horst, two gay men who find themselves in Dachau for the offense of being homosexual. The love affair they create without ever touching is compulsive, soul-wrenching story that is unnerving to watch, and leaves an indelible impression which makes the mind churn considering it afterwards. It’s truly a story of self-acceptance, tolerance, and love in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Performance dates:
May 6-14 Thurs-Sat at 7:30pm Sundays at 5pm
*Note: This is an all male cast. We are looking for 7-10 male actors. We are also looking for men and women for Cabaret dancers and extras.
*Note: This production contains adult content and nudity.
