Auditions for the opening show – Lanford Wilson’s TALLEY’S FOLLY directed by Michael L. Morehead -will be held Monday July 6 and Wednesday July 8 starting at 7pm. Show dates are November 7, 8, 13, 14 & 15, 2015.
TALLEY’S FOLLY Characters –
- Matt Friedman – playing age 42, a Lithuanian Jew
- Sally Talley – age 31, an Ozark heiress
TALLEY’S FOLLY is the story of one night in the lives of two unlikely sweethearts, Matt Friedman and Sally Talley. The one-act play takes place in a dilapidated boathouse on the Talley farm in Lebanon, Missouri. It is the 4th of July in 1944. While on vacation the previous summer, Matt met Sally and has sent her a letter every day since. Though the single reply from Sally gave him no hope for romantic encouragement, he has bravely returned to ask her to marry him. Matt is 42, a Lithuanian Jewish immigrant. Sally, 31, is the heiress of a clothing dynasty. Neither expected to ever fall in love, and yet, despite themselves, they have. This 1980 Pulitzer Prize winning Romance/Comedy written by Lanford Wilson is an actor’s dream. Every emotion is explored by both actors, and the lyrical dialogue is some of the best written in the last third of the 20th century.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Please bring EVERY conflict from September 1, 2015 through November 15, 2015. Headshot appreciated but not necessary. If cast, the date for Drop Book will be September 20. Scripts will be mailed once dues are paid.

The second show will be VANITIES by Jack Heifner directed by Karen Vanover. Show dates are April 2, 3, 8, 9 & 10, 2016.
VANITIES Characters –
- Joanne – play ages 18 – 28
- Kathy – play ages 18 – 28
- Mary – play ages 18 – 28
A bittersweet comedy that is an astute, snapshot sharp chronicle of the lives of three Texas girls. In 1963, Joanne, Kathy and Mary are aggressively vivacious cheerleaders. Five years later in their college sorority house, they are confronting their futures with nervous jauntiness. In 1974, they reunite briefly in New York. Their lives have diverged their friendship, which once thrived on assumption as well coordinated as sweater sets. Old time banter rings false. Their attempts at honest conversation only show they can no longer afford to have so much in common. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Please bring all conflicts from early January – April 10, 2016.
The final production will be TIME STANDS STILL by Donald Margulies and directed by Michael L. Morehead. Show dates are May 7, 8, 13, 14 & 15, 2016.

- James Dodd, late 30s – early 40s, a freelance journalist

TIME STANDS STILL is set in Brooklyn and revolves around Sarah, a photo journalist who has returned from covering the Iraq war after being injured by a roadside bomb, and her reporter boyfriend James who is swamped by guilt after leaving Sarah alone in Iraq. They receive a visit from their friend Richard, a photo editor, who introduces them to his new girlfriend Mandy, who is much younger than he. The play focuses on their relationships and Sarah and James’ prospects at a more conventional life.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Please bring ALL conflicts from March 1 – May 15, 2016.
