ABOUT THE SHOW:
Moll, a girl who invents things, wins the science fair with a machine for hearing sounds that can’t be heard. But when a shapeshifting Mercenary steals the invention (and her heart), she must embark on a quest to save noise as we know it. Accompanied by the last boy-virgin in the eleventh grade, Moll crosses chasms and rafts rivers into a world where sound is always more than what meets the ear. A quirky fable of innocence and experience, featuring live sound effects, mutinous onomatopoeia, and a host of woodsy temptations.

  • Moll- a girl who invents things. A fiery and independent young woman who does not take disappointment sitting down.
  • Narrator-  a mellifluous voice

  • Oliver- a boy virgin in the 11th grade. A young man still coming into his own.
  • Father/Mr. Watchel/Various- A versatile fatherly type. Also the other ½ of an evil supernatural duo
  • The Mercenary- A nefarious and otherworldly shape shifter, seductive and generally up to no good.
  • A Foley Artist- A Sound maker. Someone who would like to learn about Foley sound or already knows.

Note: There may be an ensemble in this production that may split some of the additional roles.

He’s young, he’s broke, his landlord’s knocking on his door, and he’s just found out that his wife is going to have a baby. To make matters even more desperate, Casey is fired from his gig as an Elvis impersonator in a rundown, small-town Florida bar. When the bar owner brings in a B-level drag show to replace his act, Casey finds that he has a whole lot to learn about show business – and himself.
This is a stitch-in-your-side funny….full of sass and good spirits…delightful, gender-bending farce.

Auditions will be held Mon & Tue, March 4 & 5, 2019, starting at 7:00 pm both nights.
Production dates: April 19-May 5, 2019

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

Directed by Debra Kent
Produced by K.L.Storer

In suburban Massachusetts in the mid-1980’s, thirty-something-year-old Josephine Rosen has a dead-end job and still lives at home with her hypochondriac mother. She started college but never finished, and has settled into a life that doesn’t offer much hope for the future. But when a new friendship at work and a chance flirtation with an old classmate give her hope for the possibility of change, she dusts off the Jane Fonda tapes and begins to take tentative steps towards a new life. This is a play about the tragedy and joy of figuring out who you are and letting go of who you were supposed to be.

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 between March 5 & May 5, 2019

NOTE: This play takes place in a middle-class suburb of Boston. Dialect will be taught, so if cast you can expect to spend time working dialect at rehearsal and when learning lines. This is very important to the play. (You are most welcome to give it a shot at auditions!)

  • Josephine (Jo):
    somewhere around mid-30’s or so
  • Francine:
    Josephine’s mother
  • Sherry:

Auditions Announced for PICNIC at Troy Civic Theatre

TROY_logoTo us, Labor Day is the third and last summer holiday; to a small town in Kansas in the early 1950s, Labor Day was the end of summer and the eve of a new school year, and a day for the whole town to celebrate with a picnic. On this day celebrating change, every carefully drawn character has a past with accomplishments and regrets, fears about their future, yet hopes for change in their lives.

Auditions for William Inge’s Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award winning drama PICNIC will be held at Troy Civic Theatre at 7:00 P.M. on Monday and Tuesday, March 4 and 5, 2019.

Director Jim Lockwood will be looking for actors to fill the following 11 roles:

  • Helen Potts – a widow, and caretaker of her elderly mother, well past her prime, but still flirtatious with younger men.
  • Hal Carter – a vagabond, 20s, good-looking and athletic womanizer, boastful, but insecure; a college friend of Alan, whom he hopes can help him land a job, big dreams, but no plan.
  • Millie Owens – high school student who has already earned a college scholarship, boisterous, assertive, and sassy, but lives in the shadow of her beautiful older sister.
  • Bomber Gutzel – newsboy, older teen, picks on Millie, has eyes for Madge.
  • Madge Owens – 18-year-old former beauty queen who works at dime store, dating a wealthy college student, but searching for escape from small town life, jealous of younger sister’s intelligence and independence.
  • Flo Owens – single mother, 40s -50s, protective of daughters, untrusting of strangers, pressing Madge to marry into money.
  • Rosemary Sydney – school teacher, who rents a room from Flo. She jokingly calls herself an “old maid school teacher”; ultra conservative in art, literature, and behavior until loosened up a bit after a little liquor offered by her boyfriend Howard.
  • Alan Seymour – college student, 20s, smart, polished son of a wealthy executive; dating Madge, but returning to college at the end of summer.
  • Irma Kronkite – school teacher, long-time friend of Rosemary, loud, enjoys her single-life, a jokester when around Rosemary.
  • Christine Schoenwalder – school teacher, 20s to 40s, new to this school, somewhat shy, quiet, looks up to Irma and Rosemary.
  • Howard Bevans – small business owner, 40s to 50s, fond of liquor in a dry state, dating Rosemary, but wary of commitment.

Auditioners will be asked to read excerpts from the script.
A head shot and resumé are desirable, but not required.
Please bring a list of all conflicts between March 4 and May 12 (final performance).

PICNIC will run weekends May 3-12.

If you have questions, contact Jim Lockwood by email at jeckleday@msn.com.
