IT’S ONLY A PLAY Runs Aug. 27-Sept. 5

BCT_Its Only a Play logoIT’S ONLY A PLAY
Beavercreek  Community Theatre
Aug. 27-Sept. 5
[Beavercreek]

Directed by Debra Kent

Cast: Jim Walker as James Wicker, Melissa Ertsgaard as Julia Budder, Matt Lindsay as Peter Austin, Lynn Vanderpool as Virginia Noyes, Brandon Shockney as Frank Finger, Saul Caplan as Ira Drew & Titus Unger as Gus P. Head

It’s the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer Julia Budder is throwing a lavish party in her lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group of insiders have staked themselves out to await the reviews. The group includes the excitable playwright; the possibly unstable wunderkind director; the pill-popping leading lady, treading the boards after becoming infamous in Hollywood; and the playwright’s best friend, for whom the play was written but who passed up this production for a television series. Add to this a drama critic who’s panned the playwright in the past and a new-in-town aspiring singer, and you have a prime recipe for the narcissism, ambition, childishness, and just plain irrationality that infuse the theatre—and for comedy. But don’t worry: This play is sure to be the hit they have all been hoping for.

fli_logoThe Footlighters, Inc. is thrilled to announce auditions for our second mainstage show, BONNIE & CLYDE.

Directed by Bunny Arszman
Vocal and Music Direction by Paul Chiappone
Choreography by JV Katz
Produced by Mary Stone

Show dates: January 20- February 6, 2022

Auditions:

  • Sunday, August 29th 1:00pm- 5:00pm
  • Tuesday, August 31st 7:00pm- 10:00pm
    Callbacks, if necessary: Wednesday, September 1st 7:00pm-10:00pm

Location: The Stained Glass Theatre, 802 York Street, Newport KY 41071

Please prepare 16 to 32 bars of a song that demonstrates your best vocal ability that is not from Bonnie & Clyde. Make sure your sheet music is in the proper key and your cuts clearly marked for the accompanist. Vocalizing will also take place to determine vocal range. Monologues are not necessary-acting ability will be judged by the “selling” of your song. There will not be a dance audition.

Callbacks will include singing songs from the show and performing cold readings from the script.

​Please note: Footlighters’ top priority is to provide a safe and healthy environment for all participants. Therefore, we are respectfully requiring that all non-vaccinated people who audition wear a face mask. Footlighters will have face masks available for those that do not have their own.

Those auditioning please sign up ahead of time via Sign Up Genius: ​AUDITION for ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ at Footlighters

Cast Announced for THE ODD COUPLE, FEMALE VERSION at Footlighters, Inc.

fli_logoThe cast includes:

  • Olive: Jen Drake
  • Florence: Stefanie Adams
  • Mickey: Mary Stone
  • Vera: Elizabeth Hickerson
  • Sylvie: Stephanie Klein
  • Renee: Kate Arnold
  • Manolo: Adam Drake
  • Jesus: Jeff Richardson

Directed by Tom Peters and produced by Cathy Lutts and Freida Houck, performances run September 30- October 16, 2021.

Olive Madison and her group of girlfriends are enjoying their weekly Trivial Pursuit night in Olive’s messy and ill-equipped apartment. As the game continues, Florence Unger arrives, fresh from being dumped by her husband. Fearful that the neurotic Florence might try to harm herself, Olive invites her to move in as her roommate. Olive’s easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florence’s highly-strung neurotic tendencies, testing their friendship to the limit. When Olive organizes a double-date with the Costazuela brothers, their differences come to a head and sparks fly.
