DISASTER!
By Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick Concept created by Seth Rudetsky and Drew Geraci Additional Material by Drew Geraci

April 15– May 10, 2026

It’s 1979, and a crazy cornucopia of A-listers are lining up for a night of hilarity aboard a floating casino and discotheque! There’s a faded disco star, a sexy singer with her eleven-year-old twins, a disaster expert, a feminist reporter, an older couple with a secret, a pair of young guys looking for ladies, an untrustworthy businessman and a nun – with a gambling addiction! What begins as a night of boogie fever changes to a gleeful panic as they endure wacked out disasters, such as earthquakes, tidal waves and infernos – plus killer rats! Featuring hit songs of the ’70s like “I Will Survive”, “Hawaii Five-O”, “Three Times a Lady”, “I Am Woman”, “When Will I Be Loved” and many more, DISASTER! is Broadway’s side-splitting homage to classic disaster films.

Production Team: Kat Moser-Priddy, director; Michael Spresser, Music director; Genevieve Perrino, Choreographer, TBD, production stage manager

Headshots and resumes are appreciated but not required.

Show Dates – March 6th, 7th, 8th, 13th and 14th
Leading Ladies Characters
Leo Clark: 30’s – late 40’s looking; English – lead male;
Leo is an English Shakespearean actor who is the dominant personality of the acting duo of Clark and Gable. He is the driving force of the action of the play. He is single-minded and strong-willed but very likeable. Leo is the leader and Jack is his reluctant but loyal follower. The actor needs to be able to play a woman as well because Leo spends part of the time pretending to be Max (Maxine) – a woman.
Jack Gable: 20’s – early 40’s looking; English – second lead male; Jack is essentially Leo’s sidekick but he is not without spine. He has a mind of his own and although he defers to Leo, Jack finds ways to get what he wants as well. For a portion of the play, Jack is supposed to be mute so he must have the ability to express physically – no American sign language – Jack has his own version that is in the script. The actor needs to be able to play a woman as well because Jack spends part of the time pretending to be Steve (Stephanie – Maxine’s sister).
Meg Snider: Late 20’s – 30’s; American; niece of Florence – lead female;
vivacious, enormous warmth with a great sense of humor and a fresh unstudied beauty that most women would kill for. She knows there’s a big world outside of York. Meg loves the theatre, especially Shakespeare, and dreams of being in a play. Those dreams keep her going and full of hope, even though she doesn’t realize it. She is stylish but a little more conservative in Act 1, Sc 1 than in later scenes. Meg is very tactile. She’s a hugger and a toucher.
Audrey: 20’s looking; American; Meg’s friend – second lead female; very sweet and good natured, likeably goofy at times, very attractive physically according to the author’s notes, will be required to get around on roller skates for 1 early scene (doesn’t have to be very good at it—just enough so she doesn’t fall and break something); her first scenes are in a short diner waitress outfit from Tasty Bite
Duncan Wooley: Late 40’s – 50’s; American; Meg’s fiancé and the pastor of a local church; a good man deep down…waaay deep down because he is quite self-absorbed most of the time, very set in his ways, a bit scatterbrained, very cheap, and a little greedy, but declares it’s all for good causes. He is kind and helpful to his congregation members and tries to please Meg. However he is determined to expose Maxine and Stephanie as frauds. The character is committed to the belief that his actions are for the good of others, and they are at times, but mostly not.
Florence Snider: 70’s – 80’s looking; American; Meg’s aunt, a wealthy elderly lady who is supposedly dying; feisty and down-to-earth, open-hearted, generous, and ultimately wise. She refuses to be frail. She has caustic and sarcastic interchanges with Doc Myers.
Doc Myers: 50’s – 60’s; American; local country doctor, Florence’s physician, and the Chief Moose of the Shrewsbury Moose Lodge; a crusty, likeable curmudgeon who doesn’t take guff from anybody. He doesn’t like Duncan and has a beef with Florence over stock market losses he blames on her.
Butch Myers: 20’s – 30’s; American; Doc’s son; doubles as Frank, the Moose Lodge member; has a crush on Audrey, has a good heart but is not exactly Einstein. He tries to please his father but starts becoming his own man as the play progresses.

Auditions Announced for MARY JANE at Dayton Theatre Guild

Open audition notice for MARY JANE by Amy Herzog

Auditions will be held Mon & Tue, Dec 8 & 9, 2025, starting at 7:00 pm both nights.
We may hold callbacks on Wed, Dec 10
Production dates: Jan 30‐Feb 15, 2026

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

Directed by Melissa Kerr Ertsgaard
Produced by Rhea Smith

Mary Jane navigates both the mundane and the unfathomable realities of caring for Alex, her chronically ill young son. She finds herself building a community of women from many walks of life, and dealing with all of life’s realities. Mary Jane is Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Herzog’s remarkably powerful and compassionate portrait of a contemporary American woman striving for grace. It ran on Broadway at the Manhattan Theatre Club during the 2023/2024 season.

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 between Dec 10, 2025 & Feb 15, 2026.
  • Note: We may hold callbacks on Wednesday, Dec 10.

*WE WILL BE OFF DEC 24-JAN 2 FOR THE HOLIDAYS*

The directing team is looking for actors who can embrace the joy of this play and see it as a love letter to motherhood. For the four actors playing dual roles, we’d like to see a physical and vocal differentiation between the two roles you’d play. Most of all, we are looking for connection between the characters with actors listening and responding to each other. This is an ensemble piece.

  • Mary Jane: late 20s to early 40s
    Mary Jane, a single mother, is the central figure. She is resilient, optimistic, and finds true joy in her son, Alex, despite the constant challenges of caregiving. She tries to maintain a sunny disposition, but the play explores the reality of her situation.
  • Ruthie / Tenkei: 60s-80s
    Ruthie is the superintendent of Mary Jane’s apartment building. She is a straight shooter.
    Tenkei is a Buddhist Nun that supports hospice care for families in the hospital. She has come to Buddhism late, after a lifetime as a Catholic. She is warm, flexible, and strong spiritually.
  • Sherry / Dr. Toros
    Sherry is the night nurse that takes care of Alex. She is Mary Jane’s and Alex’s friend and genuinely loves them. Sherry has a knowledgeable command of her job and the system that allows her to ground her role as a caregiver in the humanity of Mary Jane and Alex. She doesn’t see them as a charity case.
    Dr. Toros is good at her job: she is smart, experienced and self-aware. She understands when to turn down the “clinician” and when to tap into and share her own role as a mom.
  • Brianne / Chaya: 35-early 40s
    These two are the opposite sides of mothering a special needs child.
    Brianne the new mother of a special needs child who, through friends, connected with Mary Jane on Facebook to learn the ins and outs of caring for her child.
    On the other side, Chaya is a Hasidic woman who is the mother of seven children including seven-month-old twins at home. She has the life experience to share tough truths and to commiserate with Mary Jane.
  • Amelia / Kat: 18-22
    Amelia is a college student in town to visit her Aunt, Sherry, who is the night nurse for Alex.
    Kat is the music therapist at the hospital. Both are very compassionate women but they approach the world very differently.
    Where Amelia has a young spirit, she is somewhat closed off and a little skeptical while Kat is open, bright and dynamic. Both are full of love.

For more information please contact Director Melissa Kerr Ertsgaard at melistima@gmail.com

Dayton Theatre Guild is a community theatre that values community representation, and we are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion on and off stage. People of all ethnicities, gender identities, and abilities are welcome and encouraged to participate and will be given full consideration in casting and all volunteer opportunities. Unless explicitly specified by the playwright in the text of the play, all roles will be open to all performers.

The show runs weekends Jan 30‐Feb 15, 2026

First Weekend: Friday 8pm, Saturday 8pm, Sunday 3pm
Second & Third Weekend: Friday 8pm, Saturday 5pm, Sunday 3pm
