Mariemont Players Announces Auditions For Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks
Director Skip Fenker will hold open auditions for the Mariemont Players production of SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS, a comedy/drama by Richard Alfieri, at 7:00pm on Sunday, May 31st and at 7:00pm on Monday, June 1st, at the Walton Creek Theatre, 4101 Walton Creek Road, Cincinnati, OH 45227 (just east of Mariemont).
SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS is a touching and human comedy about a formidable retiree, who hires an acerbic dance instructor to give her private dance lessons — one per week for six weeks in her beachfront condo. What begins as an antagonistic relationship blossoms into an intimate friendship as these two very different people reveal their secrets, fears and joys while dancing. Ultimately they learn to overcome their outward differences and discover an unlikely but profound connection.
This charming comedy features a cast of two:
- LILY HARRISON – an aging but still stylish and attractive Southern Baptist retiree. She is formidable, stubborn and outspoken. Stage age: 70s.
- MICHAEL MINETTI – an acerbic, former Broadway chorus boy turned dance instructor. He is charming, impulsive and suffers from chronic foot-in-mouth disease. Stage age: 40s.
Both roles are open. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. A dance audition will be a part of the callback auditions on Wednesday, June 3rd.
Rehearsals will begin in mid-July. The production will be staged September 11th through September 27th, 2015.
