Auditions Announced for GENDER BENDER 5.0 at Mason Community Players

MCP_Gender Bender 4Mason Community Players is excited to announce auditions for their fifth, and final, annual Gender Bender Revue! This year’s Gender Bender 5.0 will cap off Mason Community Players’ 50th season, paying homage to MCP’s history with the non-traditional Gender Bender twist! (Yep, sing a song that the other gender always gets to perform!)

Auditioners should prepare 1-2 minutes of a musical theatre song that showcases their abilities. Auditioners do not need to audition with a gender-bent song, just sing whatever best displays your vocal style and range.

Director/Producer Peyton Hahn and Music Director Jon Scheiding encourage auditioners to submit their auditions digitally by e-mailing their video audition (preferably via a YouTube link) to genderbendermcp@gmail.com. Also, please complete the sign-up form. You can access the form at
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfC2E_tyt2Ef7jKkCVGv1_zsQHtIu_HysimtufN-OymdzhZGw/viewform.  Digital auditions are due by 11:59pm on July 21st. All submissions will receive a confirmation e-mail with 48 hours.

For those who prefer to audition in person, auditions will be held on July 22nd from 2-5pm at the Mason Community Playhouse, 5529 Mason Rd., Mason, OH 45040. Please sign up for an audition spot that date through this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040845adad28a57-gender#/
Walk-ins are welcome, but signing up ahead is encouraged.

All are also welcome to audition via MCP’s Karaoke Party on July 8th between 7-9pm (also at the Mason Playhouse). Director Peyton Hahn and Music Director Jon Scheiding will be in attendance – no need to sign up for any time slot. Show up and show us what you’ve got!

Gender Bender 5.0 performances are October 27th–29th and November 3rd–4th. The production team will do their best to be flexible with rehearsal times to accommodate as many performers as possible, however conflicts during tech week (after October 21st) are discouraged.

Auditions Announced for AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY at Tree County Players

TREE_logoAUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY

Show Dates: August 24, 25, and 26 at 7:00 at TCP’s Main Street Playhouse

Audition Dates: Friday, June 23 5-8 PM and Saturday, June 24 9 AM – 12 PM at TCP’s Main Street Playhouse

Playhouse address: 634 West Main Street, Greensburg, IN 47240

Show Synopsis: Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best New Play, August: Osage County centers around the Weston family, brought together after their patriarch, world-class poet and alcoholic Beverly Weston, disappears. The matriarch, Violet, depressed and addicted to pain pills and “truth-telling,” is joined by her three daughters and their problematic lovers, who harbor their own deep secrets, her sister Mattie Fae and her family, well-trained in the Weston family art of cruelty, and finally, the observer of the chaos, the young Cheyenne housekeeper Johnna, who was hired by Beverly just before his disappearance. Holed up in the large family estate in Osage County, Oklahoma, tensions heat up and boil over in the ruthless August heat. Bursting with humor, vivacity, and intelligence, August: Osage County is both dense and funny, vicious and compassionate, enormous and unstoppable.

PLEASE BE ADVISED- August: Osage County contains strong language and intense subject matter, including drug use, suicide, addiction, sexual references, and intergenerational trauma.

Intended for mature audiences only. Recommended for ages 18+.

At auditions, you will be asked to read from various sample scripts.

Character descriptions, the audition form to fill out, and July’s rehearsal schedule can be found here.
