Auditions Announced for GLADYS NIGHT at Beechmont Players

BPI_logoBeechmont Players and director Steve Phelan will be holding auditions for their fall production, Gladys Nights, by Becky Kimsey.

Directed by: Steve Phelan

Synopsis:
Gladys is having a mid-life crisis. Stuck in the daily grind of a telemarketing job with an irritating boss, Gladys is visited by her childhood imaginary friend, Pepper– a sexy badass international assassin who made a pact with Gladys 30 years ago that she would never let Gladys become boring. Pepper talks her into becoming an assassin too, but during the negotiation process, Gladys inadvertently talks all her clients out of it. The detective trying to catch Gladys in the act falls for her romantically instead, and in the end, Gladys must choose between Pepper (and her new career) and romance.

Auditions Announced for LOVE LETTERS at SSCC Theatre

SSCC_logoSSCC Theatre Company will hold auditions for the summer production of “Love Letters,” by A.R. Gurney.

Open to community members and students, auditions will be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 25, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro.

Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years—where Andy goes on to excel at Yale and law school, while Melissa flunks out of a series of “good schools.” While Andy is off at war Melissa marries, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries, becomes a successful attorney, gets involved in politics and, eventually, is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, her marriage in tatters, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos, drinks more than she should, and becomes estranged from her children. Eventually she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair, but it is really too late for both of them. However Andy’s last letter, written to her mother after Melissa’s untimely death, makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant, and gave to, each other over the years—physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.

Those interested in auditioning will be asked to read from the script during their audition. Those interested in working on available crew positions will be asked to complete an interview during the audition.

If interested in auditioning, but unavailable to attend the audition date, please contact Director Paula Campagna (pcampagna@sscc.edu) to schedule an alternate audition date prior to May 25.
“Love Letters” will be performed June 23 – 25. For more information about available roles and rehearsal schedule, please visit www.sscctheatre.com.
