Auditions Announced for SEE HOW THEY RUN at Troy Civic Theatre

TROY_logoDirector Michael Schumacher is seeking three women and six men for the Philip King comedy, SEE HOW THEY RUN.

Aug. 1 & 2 from 7-8:30pm
Troy Civic Theatre – 76 Adams Street

SEE HOW THEY RUN is an English farce set shortly after the end of World War II in the living room of the vicarage belonging to Penelope Topp, in the fictitious village Merton-cum-Middlewick. Penelope is an American former actress and now wife of the local vicar, the Rev. Lionel Toop. When the vicar leaves for the night, an old friend of Penelope’s, Lance-Corporal Clive Winton, stops by on a quick visit. To dodge army regulations while out on the town, he changes from his uniform into Lionel’s second-best suit, complete with a clerical dog-collar. Then Lionel, arriving back, is knocked silly by a Russian escaped from the local Army base, who takes the vicar’s clothes as a disguise. Add to the confusion a feisty cockney maid, the local busybody getting drunk for the first time, and both Penelope’s uncle, the Bishop of Lax, and Aurther Humphrey, a visiting vicar, unexpectedly showing up early. Chaos quickly ensues, culminating in a cycle of running figures and mistaken identities.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:

  • Penelope Toop: Former American actress, now married to the vicar. Fun loving and eager to please; willing to have some adventure.
  • Ida: A cockney maid who has seen too many American movies, fun, flirty character with attitude.
  • Miss Skillon: A busybody churchgoer of the parish, pops in often to complain to the vicar about the latest ‘outrages’ that Penelope has caused.
  • The Reverend Lionel Toop: Vicar of a small parish in England. Although a bit stuffy, he did marry Penelope!
  • Corporal Clive Winton: An American soldier stationed in England. “Friend” of Penelope’s and former cast member in a touring show.
  • The Bishop of Lax: Penelope’s Uncle. A rather sedate, conservative member of the clergy.
  • The Man: Russian spy escaped prisoner from nearby military base.
  • The Reverend Arthur Humphrey: A docile clergy man coming to visit.
  • Sergeant Towers: A cockney Army Sergeant in search of the escaped prisoner.

Plan to read from the script and be prepared to list all your time conflicts between August 4th and October 9th. This is a fast paced comedy so come with energy and be prepared to move.

Experienced actors/actresses and first-timers welcome! Helpers are also needed for the production crew: set building, set painting, props, costumes, make-up/hair, publicity, and more.

Performances will be September 30th, October 1st, 2nd, 7th, 8th and 9th. Fridays and Saturdays are at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm.

Auditions Announced for RADIUM GIRLS at The Drama Workshop

TDW_VERTTDW Auditions RADIUM GIRLS by DW Gregory.  Directed by Amanda Borchers

The Drama Workshop will hold auditions for the play RADIUM GIRLS July 9-11 at the Glenmore Playhouse Annex located at 3619 Harrison Ave., Cheviot, Ohio, 45211 (Enter at the building’s rear entrance off of Gamble Ave.) Auditions on July 9 & 10 will begin at 4 p.m. (Doors will open at 3:30 p.m.) On July 11, auditions will begin at 7 p.m. (Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.) Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

Inspired by a true story RADIUM GIRLS, by D.W. Gregory, traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, as she fights for her day in court against the U.S. Radium Corporation.  Grace is a dial-painter, a young woman who paints the dials on glow-in-the-dark watches by using radium-based paint. When Grace and other dial painters develop ailments that could be traced to the radium, they sue the company for compensation to cover their medical bills. But will they ever get their day in court?

According to director Amanda Borchers, RADIUM GIRLS is a fast-moving, highly theatrical ensemble piece for 9 to 10 actors who play more than 30 roles—friends, co-workers, lovers, relatives, attorneys, scientists, consumer advocates, and a myriad of interested bystanders. With such a large number of roles to cover, we will need a cast spanning in age from 18 to 70 years old.”

Rehearsals for Radium Girls will begin August 8.Performances will run Sept. 30-Oct. 16.

For more information, go to www.thedramaworkshop.org

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire. Written with warmth and humor, Radium Girls is referred to as an “engrossing” drama by critics. The play offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.
