Synopsis: Cindy and Karen, who are sisters, share a home. Even with their combined incomes, they can’t quite make ends meet. It is suggested that they rent a room to a boarder to make some extra dollars. An interesting and strange lady answers their ad and the sisters offer her the room. She has a few odd requests for her at-home, mysterious, business. Oh, and she has a cat.

Auditions will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, 9/15 and Thursday, 9/17 beginning at 7:30 pm. The director will ask auditionees to read part of the script for your character.

Equality Productions happily announces auditions for the virtual production of the comedy THE FLYING DOCTOR by Molière directed by Gabriel Brosius. Hilarious? Absolutely. Commedia and The Marx Brothers meet modern humor? Heck yeah. A couple of lines in French to tie the piece back to its roots? Sure, why not?

This director’s take on the play will be collaborative and inventive. So audition on Sunday, August 16th from 5-8P or Monday, August 17th from 6-8P. Please prepare one of the sides available on the sign-up page. You may also present a comedic monologue up to one minute as well.

Then please email your theater resume and headshot to the director at gmbrosius@gmail.com prior to your audition.

Callbacks are scheduled for Tuesday, August 18th from 6-8P. If that time does not work for you,  please let the director know at the time of your audition.

Synopsis: Lucile wants to marry Valère, but her father Gorgibus says no. Fortunately, Gorgibus is quite dense, so Valère gets his servant Sganarelle to help. Sganarelle, desperate to earn a buck or two, pretends to be a doctor, recommending that Lucile goes to a place where she can “hang” with Valère. Mayhem and mischief quickly ensue when Sganarelle is spotted by Gorgibus in his servant garb. He spins a tale of a doctor and his twin brother and all of a sudden he’s jumping back and forth through a window to deceive good ol’ Gorgibus.
