ALMOST, MAINE by John Cariani is a play comprised of nine complete tales. It takes place on a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter when all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

Cast – 4 or 5 women; 4 or 5 men (Stage ages 20-60)

Auditions will be cold reading from script and some demonstration of ability to improvise

SCCT Presents Monty Python’s SPAMALOT

Sinclair Theatre Presents Monty Python’s SPAMALOT

Rehearsals for Sinclair Theatre’s SPAMALOT include knights Sir Lancelot (Chris Delanis), Sir Galahad (Michael Dean Conley), Sir Bedever (Patrick Greco), Sir Robin (Stephen Kallenberg), King Arthur (Skyler McNeeley) and Patsy (C.J. Suchtya).

Sinclair Theatre will produce the regional premiere of Monty Python’s SPAMALOT, October 4-12, in Blair Hall Theatre, located in building 2 of the Sinclair Community College downtown Dayton campus.

SPAMALOT is a new musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture “Monty Python and The Holy Grail” with book and lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle. It’s the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they embark on their quest for the Holy Grail. Flying cows, killer rabbits, the lady of the lake and show-stopping musical numbers are just part of this hilarious, yet highly irreverent parody.

Gina Kleesattel will direct the show with music direction by Daniel Greene. Dr. Kenneth Kohlenberg will conduct the 14-piece orchestra and Rodney Veal serves as choreographer. Award winning designers: Terry Stump, scenic; Kathleen Hotmer, costumes; Joe Beumer, lighting; Dan Brunk, sound; and Jennifer Kramer, props; round out the team.

Cast includes: Skyler McNeeley as Arthur, Natalie Sanders as the Lady of the Lake, CJ Suchtya, Stephen Kallenberg, Chris Delanis, Michael Dean Conley, Patrick Greco, Bryan Bryk, John Dunn, Brennan Paulin, and ensemble: A.J. Breslin, Tray Shelton, Samantha Creech, Jasmine Barrett, Jennifer Smith, Coartney Freeland, Anna Sheldon, Maggie Carroll and Aeriel Aniballi.

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., one Sunday October 6th matinee at 2 p.m., and a Downtown Dayton Thursday Nights performance at 7 p.m. on October 10th.

All seats are reserved and cost $15 adults and $10 for students, seniors and Sinclair employees. ALL Thursday tickets cost an additional $5 each and include pre-show appetizers and cash bar beginning at 6 p.m. in the lobby for Sinclair’s popular Downtown Dayton Thursday Nights.

Tickets are on sale now at http://brushfire.e-vent.info/events/sinclair/Default.aspx 

If you need further assistance leave a message at 937-512-2808. A student box office agent will return your call as soon as possible. The box office is open one hour prior to performances.

Actor Needed to Fill Role in SSP’s HARVEY

SSP_HarveyDue to the stereotypical “unforeseen circumstances,” Sunset finds itself in the position of having to find an actor to play the role of Dr. Sanderson in HARVEY. The show dates are Oct 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, & 19. The Sunday show is at 2PM and the rest at 8PM. Yes, only a few weeks away!
Sanderson is a semi-romantic, medium sized role. He is (preferably) in his 30s to 40s. A sympathetic Psychiatrist with an occasional sarcastic way with Nurse Kelly (with whom he has a mutual attraction they both are clueless about).
He is not on stage the entire show but he has about 150 lines in the show (with no long speeches).
If you are interested, please email me at mwb_45238@yahoo.com and we can schedule my hearing you read and discussing the rehearsal situation.
