Auditions Announced for TALLEY’S FOLLY at RiverStage Community Theatre

RSCT_logo.jpgRiverStage Community Theatre of New Richmond will hold auditions for TALLEY’S FOLLY on Feb. 11th Saturday, from 10am to 1pm and Sunday the 12th from 2-4pm. At the 212 Market Street School Auditorium.

  • Please bring resume and head shot.
  • Prepare a 30sec to 1 minute monolog.

Director Gina Kleesattel.

2 Actors needed, a male and female, ages 20-40

Show dates are April 7, 8, 9, and 13, 14, 15, 16th

For information call 513-543-9149 or email riverstagehq@gmail.com

THE STORY: The scene is the ornate, deserted Victorian boathouse on the Talley place in Lebanon, Missouri; the time 1944. Matt Friedman, an accountant from St. Louis, has arrived to plead his love to Sally Talley, the susceptible but uncertain daughter of the family. Bookish, erudite, totally honest, and delightfully funny, Matt refuses to accept Sally’s rebuffs and her fears that her family would never approve of their marriage. Charming and indomitable, he gradually overcomes her defenses, telling his innermost secrets to his loved one and, in return, learning hers as well. Gradually he awakens Sally to the possibilities of a life together until, in the final, touching moments of the play, it is clear that they are two kindred spirits who have truly found each other—two “lame ducks” who, in their union, will find a wholeness rare in human relationships.
