Cast Announced for LIFESPAN OF A FACT at Dayton Theatre Guild

DTGDayton Theatre Guild is pleased to announce the cast of LIFESPAN OF A FACT by Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell & Gordon Farrell

The cast includes:

  • Jennifer Lockwood as Emily
  • Brandon Shockney as Jim
  • Jared Mola as John

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!

A fresh-out-of-Harvard fact checker for a prominent New York magazine is assigned to fact-check an essay about the suicide of a teenage boy. It is written by a talented and established writer, and publishing his piece can save the struggling magazine from collapse. The two battle over facts versus truth, with the magazine’s editor, who wants to run the story and who assigned the fact-checker to look it over, serving as referee.

Directed by Tim Rezash
Produced by Debra Kent

The show runs weekends Aug 26-Sep 11, 2022

GEORGE REMUS A New Musical Runs Aug. 13-28

TC_George Remus logoGEORGE REMUS A New Musical
The Carnegie
Aug. 13-28
[Covington]

Music and Lyrics by Janet Yates Vogt & Mark Friedman
Book by Joseph McDonough

A penniless German Immigrant who settled in the Cincinnati area, George Remus became a pharmacist, then a lawyer, and eventually the most famous bootlegger of them all. He had government politicians in his pocket, the Chicago mob at his feet, and the perfect scheme for selling barrels and barrels of whiskey during the era of prohibition and speakeasies. With a lavish mansion on a hill and over-the-top parties, Remus was a millionaire playboy worth millions in 1922 – some even say he was the real Jay Gatsby. His legendary rise and fall are now the subject of this new musical.

Auditions Announced for SOUTHERN FRIED NUPTIALS at Sunset Players

SSP_logo8/1 – I have filled about half the roles for my upcoming play, but still need to cast several more. I attached an audition notice for my next play, Southern Fried Nuptials. 

Whether you want to audition or not, perhaps you could recommend some people who might be interested in one of these roles.

I have an open audition session scheduled for Wednesday, August 3 at 7 p.m. or will meet with candidates by appointment.

I can be contacted at danhawkins66@gmail.com.

The Sunset Players and director Dan Hawkins will be holding auditions for their fall show, SOUTHERN FRIED NUPTIALS, a comedy by Osborne & Eppler.

Synopsis:
Harlene Frye is going to marry her childhood sweetheart this weekend . . . assuming the typical Frye family hijinks don’t derail the wedding! Harlene and Attie’s future together is threatened when the bride-to-be’s awful ex-flame shows up with information she doesn’t want her fiancé finding out. And Harlene’s not the only Frye keeping secrets: Sammy Jo refuses to tell her family she’s moving even though all her bags are already packed. As if that isn’t enough, Dewey can’t figure out why people keep on asking him to give his sister away and busybody Ozella Meeks has somehow ended up as the wedding coordinator. Will the Fryes be able to get Harlene down the aisle in one piece? A bighearted comedy about family—Southern-style.

Auditions:

  • July 25, 26, and 27 at 6:30 p.m.
  • Wed. Aug. 3 at 7pm
  • Arts Center At Dunham – 1945 Dunham Way, Cincinnati, OH 45238.

Please try to arrive at the beginning of auditions. If you will be later, contact director Dan Hawkins at 513-505-9017.

Please bring a resume and conflicts from Aug 21 – Oct 29. Headshot is encouraged but not required. Cold readings will be done from the script.

If you cannot make any of these dates, email danhawkins66@gmail.com to arrange an alternate time.

Characters:

  • HARLENE FRYE (30s) The oldest Frye daughter. She’s getting married this weekend. Maybe.
  • ATTICUS “ATTIE” VAN LEER (30s) The Frye family lawyer and an all-around good guy. He’s marrying Harlene this weekend. Maybe.

  • SAMMY JO FRYE-LeFETTE (30s) The middle child. She’s pretty sure she’s the perfect one.
  • DEWEY FRYE JR (late teens to early 20s) Dorothy’s youngest child. Some folks would say he’s one step short of a square dance, but he’s just dancing to his own tune. He won the lottery and all he bought was a new phone.

  • FAIRY JUNE COOPER (50s/60s) A friend of Dorothy and Martha Ann.
