When an escaped slave shows up at Fort Monroe demanding sanctuary, General Benjamin Butler is faced with an impossible moral dilemma—follow the letter of the law or make a game-changing move that could alter the course of U.S. history?

Character Descriptions:

  • Benjamin Butler (NOTE: THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST) – Major General of the Union Army. 40s-60s. Self assured, maybe even arrogant. Does not have the crisp neatness associated with military men.
  • Lieutenant Kelly – 20s-40s. West point graduate. All military.
  • Shepard Malllory – 20s-40s. An escaped slave. Much more learned than he lets on. Has a difficult time holding his tongue.

Video Auditions Announced for DADDY LONG LEGS at INNOVAtheatre

INNOV_logoVideo submissions are now being accepted.
Deadline for submissions is January 20th at 11:59pm.

Directed by Jacqlyn Schott
Music Directed by Matthew Nassida
Produced by Denise A. Schnieders

Show Description:
A heartwarming Cinderella story about a witty and winsome young woman and her mysterious benefactor, based on the treasured novel that inspired the classic 1955 film. DADDY LONG LEGS is a beloved tale in the spirit of Jane Austen, The Bronte Sisters and Downton Abbey.

DADDY LONG LEGS features music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominated composer/lyricist, Paul Gordon (Jane Eyre), and Tony-winning librettist/director, John Caird (Les Miserables), and is a “rags-to-riches” tale of newfound love.

Set in the early 1900s in New England, DADDY LONG LEGS follows Jerusha Abbott, the “oldest orphan in the John Grier Home,” as her life is forever changed by a mysterious benefactor giving her the opportunity to attend college to be educated as a writer. The only condition: to write to him monthly with no expectation of receiving a reply. Through her letters to her benefactor–whom she dubs “Daddy Long Legs” in her ignorance of his identity–the audience follows Jerusha’s blossoming and adventures in her newfound freedom.

Occasionally accompanied by her roommate’s uncle, Jervis, who further enriches her world, Jerusha’s life is changed forever–all due to one startling truth she has yet to discover.

Characters:

  • Jerusha (~20-30) – the oldest orphan in the John Grier Home. Witty and intelligent, received funding for college from an anonymous benefactor whom she dubs Daddy Long Legs. (G3- Bb5)
  • Jervis (~25-35) – Jerusha’s anonymous benefactor. A shy, highly educated East Coast aristocrat. (G3- G#4)

Time Commitment:
Rehearsals will begin virtually at the end of January. Any in person rehearsals will be conducted per COVID-19 safety guidelines.
Performance weekend will be March 5th-7th hosted at Loveland Stage Company.

Material To Prepare:

  • Please prepare 32 bars of a musical theatre song.
  • Songs should not be from the show and should be sung with accompaniment.
  • No a cappella auditions will be considered.
  • You may be asked to sing from the score and/or read from the script at callbacks and so familiarity with the show is strongly encouraged.
  • Please submit the video and/or link to auditions@INNOVAtheatre.com along with any additional audition materials (eg: audition form, headshot, resume). Acceptable video formats: YouTube, Google Drive (NOT Google Photo), Vimeo, WeTransfer, or DropBox.

In your email, please also include availability for callbacks.

Online Auditions Announced for CHECK PLEASE: The Stay-at-Home Edition at Lumos Players

LP_logoOPEN (Zoom) Auditions for CHECK PLEASE: The Stay-at-Home Edition by Jonathan Rand

January 17 from 1-4pm

Auditions, rehearsals and performances will all take place via Zoom (so you do not need to be local to take part!). Audition spots must be reserved in advance by emailing LumosPlayers@gmail.com.

Auditions will consist of sides from the script that will be sent out when your audition is scheduled.

Performance dates – February 14th at 2pm & 7:30pm.
Rehearsals: Sundays & Wednesdays (7-9pm), beginning January 24th.

Synopsis: Dating can be hard. Especially when your date is pretending to know multiple languages, or giving you a PowerPoint presentation, or doing a psychic reading of your feet. As Guy and Girl each endure a series of blind dates, they think it can’t get any worse — until it does. Could there possibly be a light at the end of the tunnel?

The most off-the-wall dates occur online in CHECK PLEASE: Stay At Home Edition, an updated version of the classic comedy written especially for performance on video chat.

A full copy of the script can be read at https://www.playscripts.com/play/4703
