Nativity on the Square
by Tom S. Long and directed by James Ball
Cast 2M/2F or 1M/3F

Death by Poinsettia
by Dwayne Yancey and directed by Samantha DiTullio
Cast 1M/1F

A lonely woman tries to kill herself at Christmas by eating a poinsettia, convinced the plant is poisonous. It’s not, though. A male co-worker shows up and a touching scene ensues.

Scrooge Has Left the Building
by Pat Cook and directed by Allie Webber
Cast 4M/2F

It’s Christmas time. An old man sits in his sitting room eating his porridge. Just then Marley bursts in and begins to rattle his chains, scaring the man half to death. You all know the story or do you? “I have come to save you from a horrible fate, Ebenezer Scrooge!” Marley shrieks. “I’m not Scrooge!” the man points out. “He moved!” Sure enough, Marley is at the wrong house. Not only the wrong house but on the wrong night. From here on its every ghost for itself in this not-so-well known tale of what Marley and his spectral friends were doing on the night BEFORE they met Scrooge.

Auditions Announced for PROOF at Fairfield Footlighters

fflMonday, September 17 at 6:30 pm
Tuesday, September 18 at 6:30 pm

Fairfield Community Arts Center
411 Wessel Drive, 45014
Front Reception: 513-867-5348

Auditions for 2 Women / 2 Men

Auditions will consist of cold-readings from the script. Please be prepared to list all rehearsal conflicts.

Casting for:

  • Catherine, playing age 25, inherited much of her father’s mathematical genius and, she fears, his “instability” as well; she gave up her life and schooling to take care of her father until his recent death.
  • Claire, playing age 30-35, a practical and business-minded woman who has been comfortably successful in her work and relationships. She left Robert and Catherine behind, distancing herself from the run-down family home of her youth. She left the family to make a new life for herself in New York City.
  • Robert, playing age 50-60, as seen in Catherine’s imagination and flashback, a recently deceased mathematician praised for his groundbreaking work in his youth, but whose later years were plagued by delusional mental illness.
  • Harold (Hal), playing age 20-30, one of Robert’s last Ph.D. students during the one year his idol and mentor’s illness went into remission, at least enabling Robert to teach, if not continue his own creative mathematical work.

Directed by Kevin Noll, knoll826@gmail.com
Rehearsals: Monday – Thursday, 6:30 PM to 9 PM

ABOUT THE SHOW: Catherine has inherited her late father’s mathematical brilliance, but she is haunted by the fear that she might also share his debilitating mental illness. She has spent years caring for her now-deceased father, and upon his death, she feels left alone to pick up the pieces of her life without him. Caught between a new-found connection with Hal, one of her father’s former students, and the reappearance of her sister, Claire, Catherine finds both her world and her mind growing increasingly unstable. Then Hal discovers a groundbreaking proof among the 103 notebooks Catherine’s father left behind, and Catherine is forced to further question how much of her father’s genius or madness will she inherit. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, David Auburn’s Proof is a passionate, intelligent story about fathers and daughters, the nature of genius, and the power of love.

For more information, call 513-867-5348.

Performance dates: Nov. 9-18
