Auditions Announced for ALMOST, MAINE at Springboro Community Theatre

SCT_logoAnnouncing Springboro Community Theatre Auditions for ALMOST, MAINE by John Cariani.

7pm on Monday, January 13, 2020 and Tuesday, January 14, 2020.

Director: Sara Bortz
Assistant Director: Scott Madden

​Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script (available upon request). Resumes and headshots are appreciated, but not required. Auditioners do not need to be there for both nights of auditions, but are welcome to come to both.

Please provide a list of all known conflicts between January 13th and March 8th, including weekends. Rehearsals will be 3-4 days a week M-Th from 7-9:30pm, with possible extended hours and a 5th day if needed in the last 2 weeks of rehearsal. Set build will take place on the weekends, and all actors are encouraged to help.

ALMOST, MAINE is a sweet romantic comedy that inventively explores the mysteries of the human heart. On one deeply cold and magical Midwinter night, the citizens of Almost — not organized enough for a town, too populated for a wilderness — experience the life-altering power of the human heart. Relationships begin, end, or change beyond recognition, as strangers become friends, friends become lovers, and lovers turn into strangers. Propelled by the mystical energy of the aurora borealis and populated with characters who are humorous, plain-spoken, thoughtful, and sincere, Almost, Maine is a series of loosely connected tales about love, each with a compelling couple at its center, each with its own touch of sorcery.

​Available roles include:
Male: Pete, East, Jimmy, Steve, Lendall, Randy, Chad, Phil, Man & Dave
Female: Ginette, Glory, Sandrine, Waitress, Marvalyn, Gayle, Marci, Hope & Rhonda

A diverse cast is desired and encouraged to audition. We are looking for actors who can play ages 18-50, with most characters appearing between 25 and 40. This show will utilize double casting, with 4-7 actors playing multiple roles. This is a great chance to showcase your range of emotions and comedic timing.​

Show dates are February 28, 29, March 6, 7 at 8PM, March 1 and 8 at 2PM.

​Contact Sara Bortz at sekrobinson13@gmail.com with any questions.

Mariemont Players presents Evelyn in Purgatory a dark comedy by Topher Payne at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), January 10-26, 2020.

A sort of Breakfast Club for teachers, Evelyn in Purgatory shows what happens when teachers land in their own version of detention. A claim of improper behavior by a failing student lands Evelyn Reid in the New York Public School’s Reassignment Center, one of a series of empty offices in the Department of Education Building. There she encounters a group of teachers who must sit and wait for their cases to be reviewed. Some are guilty, some are not, but all have long since lost any hope of returning to a classroom.  Over the course of the school year, these colleagues form an unlikely alliance, reminding each other of forgotten passions, emerging to face life outside in unexpected new directions. They also learn French, workshop a screenplay…and learn some troubling secrets about each other.

Evelyn in Purgatory is directed by Jennifer Keith, produced by Patrick Kramer Betsy Bossart, and features the talents of Heather AbbottChessie VigranCathy RossAimée WardChuck IngramEvan Blanton, and Robert Weidle.

Come visit our beautifully renovated auditorium complete with more comfortable seating, new carpeting, fresh paint, aisle lighting, enhanced stage lighting, state-of-the-art sound, and a sound induction loop for those with hearing aid T switches and head sets for those with low hearing issues.
