The Dayton Theatre Guild at the Caryl D. Philip TheatreScape
430 Wayne Ave, Dayton OH, 45410
937-278-5993 — www.daytontheatreguild.org

Directed by K.L.Storer

Sharon, in her mid-fifties, is recently divorced and needs a roommate to share her Iowa home. Robyn, also in her mid-fifties, needs a place to hide and a chance to start over. But as Sharon begins to uncover Robyn’s secrets, they encourage her own deep-seated desire to transform her life completely. A dark comedy about what it takes to re-route your life — and what happens when the wheels come off.

Casting Requirements:

  • Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
  • A résumé and headshot are not required but are appreciated.
  • Please provide a list of all known conflicts.

Character breakdowns:

  • Sharon — 54 year-old woman (race/ethnicity open)
    Sharon is not naive but she has lived a stereotypical, normal, Midwestern, middle-class life with little sense of adventure. She’s still a little wounded and disillusioned by her recent divorce. Her craving for adventure is awoken by the introduction of Robyn into her life.
  • Robyn — 56 year-old woman (race/ethnicity open)
    Robyn is a more worldly woman with a darker past who is trying to turn over a new leaf. She has a tinge of cynicism coming from hard knocks.

*(actors need to be able to play these ages rather than actually *be* these ages)

Rehearsal are on the following overall schedule of Apr 19-May 26*
(usually Mon-Thu)
Sat, May 29 will be the Tech rehearsal
Performance will be shot June 1-4 (Tue-Fri)
*First two weeks on Zoom
Covid protocols will be followed for all in-person work

ROLES AVAILABLE

Seymour Krelborn
An insecure, put-upon florist’s clerk and eventual hero. He is a genuine, well-meaning man who is taken for granted because of his poor social skills. Awkward not nerdy.       Vocal range top: G4    Vocal range bottom: A2

Audrey
Sweet and a projection of the girl next door (though underneath lies a complex and wounded woman). She has poor self-worth and education; vulnerable demeanor with dreams of a simple life with someone who values her for more than her looks. Vocal range top: D5    Vocal range bottom: G#3

Voice Of The Plant
An actor/vocalist located offstage. The voice is that of a conniving, street-smart ‘villain.’ A funky Rhythm and Blues voice is best. Colorful vocal choices preferred.       Vocal range top: G4   Vocal range bottom: G2

Chiffon
Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon are African-American street urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Young, hip, and smart, these girls are the only ones who have a grip on reality.      Vocal range top: F5     Vocal range bottom: Ab3

Crystal
Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon are African-American street urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Young, hip, and smart, these girls are the only ones who have a grip on reality.       Vocal range top: F5   Vocal range bottom: Ab3​

Ronnette
Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon are African-American street urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Young, hip, and smart, these girls are the only ones who have a grip on reality.       Vocal range top: F5  Vocal range bottom: Ab3

Orin Scrivello
An egotistical dentist with sadistic tendencies. Imagine a Gaston type if he enjoyed pulling teeth. Not looking for Steve Martin inspired performances. Will also play multiple other roles throughout the show.       Vocal range top: G4   Vocal range bottom: G2

Mr. Mushnik
The seasoned owner of the failing East Side flower shop and Seymour’s nosy boss. A failure of a man in every way. Self-serving and manipulative.          Vocal range top: F4    Vocal range bottom: G2​

Plant Puppeteer (Audrey II)
Puppet. An anthropomorphic cross between a Venus flytrap and an avocado, the plant has an appetite for human flesh that is appeased by Seymour. Puppeteer doubles as other sizes of the plant. Strong individual required for an energetic physical performance.

Submission must be received by April 2nd

The show is full of great songs in a variety of styles, from a parody of French ballads (“Those Canaan Days”), to country-western (“One More Angel in Heaven”) and calypso (“Benjamin Calypso”), along with the unforgettable classics “Any Dream Will Do” and “Close Every Door.”

Video Auditions Announced for TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT… at Village Players

VP_new logoVillage Players of Fort Thomas and director Nathan Henegar are calling for video audition submissions for our 2021 New Works Production, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT…

Minimal rehearsal requirement, safety first, fun a close second!

Who: 6-20 actors of all shapes, sizes, ages, genders, etc. to fill (and possibly double) roles!

What: record an audition performance of the accompanying monologue or another comedic monologue no longer than 60 seconds

When: submit a video or a link to your audition video to director Nathan Henegar at nathan.henegar@gmail.com no later than 5:00 pm on March 7th! Resumes welcome but not required. Please include all conflicts in the body of the email (see rehearsal details below).

Where: all auditions will be via pre-recorded video; the performance will be recorded at 8 N. Fort Thomas Ave. in the Village Players theater in early May, depending on conflicts and rehearsal schedules.

There will be three rehearsals per role (with likely double-casting) leading up to Recording Week. Recording Week will include several dress rehearsals culminating with the Recording (we capitalize that now, because of unprecedented times). Masks at all rehearsals.

AUDITION MONOLOGUE:

“You always gotta let the last man go. It’s honorable. He’s the last guy to make it out of the bag. The warrior. He’s the last samurai man.

You have to give it some thought and wonder, how did this little M & M do it? How was he skilled enough to be the last M & M in the bag, out of all the other M & M’s in the bag? All the different colors. All the different sizes. I always let the last one go because he was the strongest, the swiftest, the smartest peanut out of the bunch. If you respect the candy, you gotta respect the nut.

Some people will call it science. Others will call it luck. I like to call it destiny. It was destiny combined with talent that made this little fella survive. Picture it. All of these other peanuts, some bigger than you, some faster than you, some smarter than you…all fighting to stay in the back of the bag when you turn it upside down to eat one of them. This little fella beat the odds. He deserves to be set free, just on moral obligation alone. Call me crazy, but no matter what you say, I’m always going to let the last man go.”
