Auditions Announced for PIPPIN at Harrison Center for the Arts

HCA is excited to announce our upcoming production of PIPPN! Performances will run from Thursday, August 6 through Sunday, August 9. Auditions will be held in just a few weeks at the Harrison Township Civic Center:

  • Dates: Monday, April 6 & Wednesday, April 8
  • Time: Starting at 6:45 PM

Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day. [From Playbill]

Character List

  • Leading Player (The ultimate ‘ring leader.’ Masterfully charming and manipulative, the Leading Player is a chameleon of sorts. Guides Pippin through his own story and tries to intervene at the end.)
  • Pippin (Our story’s young and confused protagonist. He is longing to find his purpose in life. Naive, innocent, and discontent. Eventually finds love, and meaning in life, with Catherine and Theo.)
  • Charles (Pippin’s demanding father. As the King of the Holy Roman Empire, Charlemagne is more comfortable wielding a sword than breaking bread. He wears his years with great pride.)
  • Lewis (Pippin’s half-brother)
  • Fastrada (Pippin’s conniving stepmother. A seductress, who is no stranger to deceit and betrayal, she is both sexy and smart. Skilled at using her sexual appeal to benefit her and her son.)
  • Berthe (Pippin’s saucy grandmother. A brassy broad full of wisdom, grace, and sass. She tries to help Pippin and encourages him to live his life to the fullest.)
  • Catherine (A widow and mother. She is a beautiful and a hopeless romantic, who possesses graceful elegance. Encounters Pippin at his lowest point and eventually falls in love with him.)
  • Theo (Catherine’s son)
  • Ensemble (Charlemagnes Army, Monks, Nobility, Peasants, The Players)

Auditions will be held at the Harrison Township Civic Center. Actors will be asked to read from the script as well as sing a song from the show (options TBD). Depending on the situation, actors may be asked to read more than once. If needed, callbacks will be held on Thursday, April 9 at 7 pm. A cast read-through will be held on Monday, April 13 at 7 pm. Performances of PIPPIN will be Thursday, August 6 – Sunday, August 9. More information on the schedule and important dates will be available at auditions.

The Drama Workshop is a community theatre organization that performs at the Glenmore Playhouse Cheviot, OH.  These roles are not paid.

Synopsis:
Ten strangers, each harboring a dark secret, are lured to a secluded island mansion off the Devon coast by an anonymous host. Accused of past unpunished crimes, they begin to be killed one by one in accordance with a sinister nursery rhyme, as suspicion and paranoia rise.

Character List:

  • THE BUTLER – Thomas Rogers (m, 30’s).  Rogers and his wife have been hired as caretakers of the eight guests who will be arriving. Thomas, a butler, has been put in charge of the household, attending to everyone’s needs.  He is good at what he does but overwhelmed by lack of help.

  • THE COOK/HOUSEKEEPER – Ethel Rogers (f, 30’s).  While she is technically employed as a cook, like her husband, Ethel is expected to go beyond the scope of her position. Ethel is nervous and overwhelmed.

  • THE GENERAL – John Gordon MacKenzie (m, 60’s).  General MacKenzie is a war veteran and widower.  He is somber and resigned.

  • THE JUDGE – Sir Lawrence Wargrave (m, 60’s-70’s).  A retired criminal judge, Wargrave is a sober and rigid man of the law.  He maintains a cool head even when circumstances become increasingly tense.

  • THE PHYSICIAN – Dr. Edward Armstrong (m, 50’s-60’s). Dr. Armstrong is a highly successful nerve specialist who used to be a surgeon.  He was invited under the pretense of treating Mrs. Owen.  He is defensive and irritable.

  • THE PLAYBOY – Anthony James Marston (m, 20’s).  Handsome, youthful, from a wealthy family and oozing with entitlement and arrogance.

  • THE POLICE OFFICER – William Henry Blore (m, 50’s).  A former police officer, Blore is now a private detective.  He presents himself as wise and in charge after initially being “under cover”.

  • THE SECRETARY – Vera Claythorne (f, 25-35).  Vera, a former governess, was hired to serve as secretary to Mrs. Owen, wife of the mysterious host.  She is intelligent, poised and confident.

  • THE SPINSTER – Emily Brent (f, 50’s-60’s).  Emily, a spinster, is self-righteous, judgmental, and negative. Her rules for proper living allow for no exceptions.

  • THE SOLDIER – Captain Philip Lombard (m, late 30’s). Captain Lombard is confident and self-assured and more than proud of his military service in Africa. He looks out for number one but is attracted to Vera.

Production Dates: Performances run 3 weekends from July 24 – August 9, 2026. There are a total of 10 performances. Friday 7:30 pm, Saturday 7:30 pm, Sunday 2pm each weekend, with a Thursday 730pm performance during the final weekend.

Auditions Announced for A MISCAST CABARET at Queen City Productions

Queen City Productions is holding auditions for its spring production: A MISCAST CABARET.

A MISCAST CABARET is a revue style production featuring actors doing songs, scenes and choreography they would not normally be given the chance to perform. This show gives performers the opportunity to perform pieces they might not be the right gender, age, race, etc… to play in a normal, full-scale production.

What to prepare:

  • Auditionees should prepare a song, scene, monologue or dance piece that they would like to perform in the actual show. This should be something that the auditionee would not typically be cast in because they do not fit the “typical” casting type.
  • If you are singing, please bring a backing track or you can accompany yourself on an instrument you bring with you.
  • You can sign up for an audition at the following link. Walk-ins are welcome and will be seen in the next available slot.
    https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050C44ACAA2AAAFD0-62776680-miscast#/
  • We will also be accepting video submissions for auditions. Please email those to queencityproductions@yahoo.com by Monday, March 15th at 10pm.

Performances will be April 16th-19th at The Arts Center at Dunham.

Rehearsals will begin Sunday, March 22nd at 6pm. Rehearsals will be minimal for this production with cast members only needing to attend two rehearsals for their individual act before Tech Week and they will be able to schedule those at a time that works for them. There will also be group numbers for this show (Opening, Closing, All Female presenting, All Male presenting) and those rehearsals will be held on either Fridays or Sundays.

Auditions Announced for TWELFTH NIGHT and TAMING OF THE SHREW Musical at Southbank Shakespeare

Southbank Shakespeare is pleased to announce auditions for our upcoming sixth summer season!

Auditions will take place at Thomas More University March 28-29 from 11am – 6pm. 

TWELFTH NIGHT (Performances June 18-21, outdoors at the TMU Observatory Lawn): Actors should prepare one Shakespeare monologue in comedic style. Video auditions will be accepted through March 27th. (The role of Maria has been precast. All other roles are open.)

TAMING OF THE SHREW Musical (Performances July 16-19 in the TMU Theatre): Actors should prepare one of the script sides (found in the Google Drive linked below). Actors who would like to be considered for singing roles should prepare a 32 bar cut of a popular Ska or Pop-Punk song representing their vocal range.

We are also looking for instrumentalists, as our original Ska-Punk musical adaptation of Taming of the Shrew is entirely performed vocally and instrumentally by actors live on stage. Because of this, we are asking actors and musicians to record video submissions of themselves playing a song in the style of the show. (Ex: Paramore and Reel Big Fish) We are looking for the following instruments: guitar, bass, drum kit, trumpet, trombone, saxophone.

If you have any questions, please email Lauren Davidson (Stage Manager) at davidsonle3@gmail.com or Phillip Webster (Artistic Director) at 9tenor11@gmail.com
