Auditions Announced for A FEW GOOD MEN at Dayton Playhouse

DPH_logoAuditions begin at 7:00 PM each evening. Auditioners are encouraged to arrive at the Dayton Playhouse in advance of the auditions to fill out the Audition Form. Theatre resumes are encouraged; auditioners need to be prepared to list all conflicts between the audition date and the final performance of the production. All auditions are held at the Dayton Playhouse: 1301 Siebenthaler Avenue in Dayton (inside Wegerzyn Gardens MetroPark).

A FEW GOOD MEN
By Aaron Sorkin
Directed by Jennifer Lockwood
Produced by J. Gary Thompson
March 9 through 18, 2018
Auditions: January 22 & 23, 2018

Dayton Playhouse is excited to announce auditions for the riveting, military drama A FEW GOOD MEN. Before Aaron Sorkin created The West Wing, Sports Night, and The Social Network, he took Broadway by storm with his compelling story of honor vs. justice. Auditions will be Monday and Tuesday, January 22-23, 2018 at 7 PM at Dayton Playhouse. Performance dates are March 9-18, 2018.

Director Jennifer Lockwood is looking for a few good men and one woman to fill the following roles:

Lance Cpl. Harold Dawson – early 20’s, proud, leader, definitely had a future in the Corps

PFC Louden Downey – 18-20, not worldly, bewildered by the politics

Lt. J.G. Sam Weinberg – late 20’s-30, smartest kid in the room, became a lawyer to help the little guy

Lt. J.G. Daniel Kaffee – late 20’s – 30, used to getting by on his charm which he has in abundance, smart and talented lawyer but not used to working too hard

Lt. Cmdr. Joanne Galloway – early 30’s, born with a rule book in her hand, hard worker, socially awkward

Capt. Isaac Whitaker – 35+, sarcastic, manages his staff with a loose rein and a dash of humor

Capt. Matthew Markinson – 50+, former spy, honor is deeply important to him

PFC William Santiago – 19-20, not physically cut out for Marine Corp through no fault of his own

Lt. Col. Nathan Jessep – 50+, old-school marine but politically savvy, always in charge of every situation

Lt. Jonathan Kendrick – 30’s, from the Bible Belt, a true believer in the code

Lt. Jack Ross – 30’s, gifted lawyer, smart and good at playing whatever game is necessary at the moment

Cpl. Jeffrey Howard – early to mid-20’s, not the sharpest knife in the drawer

Capt. Julius Randolph – 50+, possibly retired, the judge, worked hard to get where he is and demands the respect he know he deserves

Cmdr. Walter Stone – 40+, doctor, not done advancing and willing to compromise to get where he wants to go

Now in the twilight of their lives they find themselves humorously entwined by the ever changing times.

EVERY CHRISTMAS STORY EVER TOLD (AND THEN SOME!)
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
Dec. 21-31
Over-the-Rhine

Directed by Jeremy Dubin

Cast: Justin McCombs, Billy Chace, Miranda McGee & Maggie Lou Rader

CSC’s holiday smash hit is back—bigger and better than ever! What begins as a traditional production of A Christmas Carol soon devolves into a slightly irreverent, but undeniably adoring look at all our pop culture Christmas faves, including Rudolph, Frosty, and good ol’ Charlie Brown. Three actors (with the help of a slightly tipsy Santa) lampoon everything from Dickens to Dr. Seuss in 90 minutes of high-octane jollity and frivolity.

Performances before Christmas have SOLD OUT and Standing Room Tickets are now available.  Standing Room is located in the Upper Gallery. 

  • Thu-Fri, Dec. 21-22 at 7:30pm
  • Sat, Dec. 23 at 2pm & 7:30pm
  • Wed-Fri, Dec. 27-29 at 7:30pm
  • Sat-Sun, Dec. 30-31 at 2pm & 7:30pm

Auditions Announced for DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE at SSCC Theatre

SSCC_logoRescheduled from Jan. 12 due to inclement weather.

SSCC Theatre is pleased to announce their upcoming auditions for the spring production of DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE, by Sarah Ruhl.

An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man – with a lot of loose ends. So begins DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE, a work about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us – it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.

Auditions, open to community members and students, will be held on Friday, January 19 at 6:30 p.m. in The Edward K. Daniels Auditorium at the Central Campus of Southern State Community College, in Hillsboro, OH. Those interested in auditioning should prepare and memorize a comedic one to two-minute monologue. Those interested on working in available crew positions will be asked to complete an interview the night of auditions. If you’re interested in auditioning, but unavailable to attend the audition date, please contact Rainee Angles (rangles@sscc.edu) to schedule an alternate audition date prior to January 12.

DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE directed by Rainee Angles, will be performed April 6 – 8. For more information about DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE available roles, and a rehearsal schedule, please visit www.sscctheatre.com.
