Dare to Defy Productions
May 19-20
Victoria Theatre [Dayton]

Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, GUYS AND DOLLS is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler Nathan Detroit tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend, nightclub performer Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for 14 years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown. GUYS AND DOLLS takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

Following his death, she is confronted all at once with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, her father’s former student, who hopes to find something of value in the work Robert left behind. All this, added to the discovery of a mysterious notebook, compels Catherine to consider exactly which of her father’s traits she’s inherited.

Auditions Announced for THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW at SSCC Theatre

SSCC_logoSSCC Theatre is pleased to announce their upcoming auditions for the summer production of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW by Richard O’Brien.

One fateful night, Brad Majors and his fiancée, Janet Weiss — a wholesome, well-behaved, utterly normal young couple in love — innocently set out to visit an old professor. Unfortunately for them, this night out is destined to be one they will never forget. A thunderstorm and a flat-tire force them to seek help at the castle of Dr. Frank ’N’ Furter, an alien, transvestite scientist with a manic genius and insatiable libido. Brad, Janet, and Frank’ N’ Furter’s cohorts are swept up into the scientist’s latest experiment. The night’s misadventures will cause Brad and Janet to question everything they’ve known about themselves, each other, love, and lust. A loving homage to the classic B sci-fi film and horror genres with an irresistible rock n’ roll score, “The Rocky Horror Show” is a hilarious, wild ride that no audience will soon forget.

Auditions, open to community members and students, will be held on Friday, May 12 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, as well as a short song, from Broadway, rock and roll, or “Rocky Horror.” For certain roles (please visit the web for more info) auditioners are asked to wear form fitting clothing.

Those auditioning should visit SSCCTheatre.com/auditions and schedule their preferred audition time.

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 May 12. Callbacks, if necessary, will be held on Saturday, May 13 at 6:30 p.m.

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, directed by Rainee Angles and Benjamin Gullett, with music direction by David White, will be performed July 21 – 23, and will include a special midnight performance on Saturday.
