Actor Needed for Spike in VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at Oxford Area Community Theatre

OXACT_logoReopening our search for a “Spike” for our next production, VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE.

Spike is a “Chiseled, flippant, devil-may- care boy toy. A preening millennial, Spike is a young actor who pays just enough attention to Masha to keep her satisfied. He does not seem to have any urgency for anything, despite the fact that he has little to show for his career thus far. But he’s got his looks, a captive audience, and believes the rest will be laid out all on a plate for him when the time comes.

As fair warning, Spike does disrobe down to his underwear in the play, and maintains that status for several pages on stage. This actor needs to be confident in his body image.”

If you or someone you know fits the part, please contact contact Scott Shriver shrivers@miamioh.edu, or Kayleigh Swatzell karetherford@hotmail.com.

THE SPITFIRE GRILL Runs April 4-14

CU_The Spitfire Grill logoTHE SPITFIRE GRILL
Cedarville University
April 4-14
DeVries Theatre Thrust [Cedarville]

A contemporary musical by the writing team of James Valcq and Fred Alley, this is the story of Percy, a newcomer to the Wisconsin town of Gilead, who arrives with a secret. She has been recently paroled from prison and chose to settle in the town of Gilead for a second chance at life, believing the town must hold promise since its very name seems to offer hope and healing. As she is gradually befriended by the regulars at the town restaurant, she becomes especially close to Hannah, the owner of The Spitfire Grill. Hannah’s efforts to sell the grill have not been successful, but Percy, short for “Perchance,” comes up with an idea that not only saves the restaurant but leads to a redemption of sorts, for her and others, in surprising ways.
