NIGHT WATCH by Lucille Fletcher
Elaine Wheeler, troubled by unsettling memories and vague fears, suffers from insomnia and appears to be close to becoming unhinged as one suspicious event after another takes place. From their Manhattan townhouse, her husband tries to comfort her, but when he steps away for a moment, Elaine screams as she sees (or believes she sees) the body of a dead man in the window across the way. The police are called, but find nothing except an empty chair. Elaine’s terror grows as shortly thereafter she sees still another body — this time a woman’s — but by now the police are skeptical and pay no heed to her frantic pleas.

The director is looking to cast the following roles:
• Elaine Wheeler (35-50 give or take): Wealthy, pampered, stylish, privileged but not snobbish. Also not a particularly strong person. She’s always been submissive to the men in her life.
• Blanche (same age or a few years younger than Elaine): Attractive and poised. Elaine’s best friend, travelling companion, and nurse.
• Dr. Tracey Lake (old enough to have become a respectable, reputable, published
doctor): A respectable, reputable, published doctor. Very professional.
• Helga (age is not very important): Live-in maid and blackmailer (aren’t they all?
I’ve seen “Downton Abby”). Good German accent required.
• John Wheeler (a few years older than Elaine): Elaine’s husband. Strong, dominant, self-assured. Used to being in charge.
• Curtis Appleby (older character-man): Next-door neighbor and busy-body. He’s a little bit…uh…fussy (how’s THAT for a euphemism?).
• Lt. Walker: Older cop
• Vanelli: Younger cop
• Sam Hoke (character man): Pushy New York deli owner. APPEARS IN ONE SCENE ONLY (at the end of act 1). Possibly may not be required to stay for curtain call.

The next auditions at Dayton Playhouse are for THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT, THE SMELL OF THE CROWD. Monday & Tuesday, November 23 & 24, starting at 7:00 P.M. each evening at Dayton Playhouse, 1301 E. Siebenthaler Ave, Dayton, OH 45414
Auditions will consist of:
Headshots and résumés are appreciated, but not required. Be prepared to list all conflicts between November 23, 2015 and February 7, 2016.
THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT, THE SMELL OF THE CROWD will run weekends between January 22 and February 7, 2016.
GREASEPAINT is the 1965 tuneful follow-up to Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse’s 1962 smash Stop the World, I Want to Get Off. While more known for its many hit songs (many of which are still played today: “A Wonderful Day Like Today”, “Who Can I Turn To?”, “The Joker”, and the ever-popular “Feeling Good”), the plot is possibly more relevant today than it was in the 1960’s. Cocky and Sir are deeply involved in a game in which Cocky always loses because Sir changes the rules to suit himself. Only after Cocky realizes that it is he who is being played, is there a hope for the future and a fairer game.
Director Jim Lockwood, Music Director Judy Mansky, and Choreographer Allison Eder will be looking for actors to fill these parts:

THE IRISH CURSE
Written by: Martin Casella
Directed by: Charley Shafor
The Irish Curse is a revealing portrait of how men, and society, define masculinity. In doing so, it dares to pose the fundamental question that has been on the minds of men since the beginning of time: “Do I measure up to the next guy?” Size matters to a small group of Irish-American men (all professionally successful New Yorkers) who meet every Wednesday night, in a Catholic church basement, at a self-help group for men with small penises. This alleged Irish trait is the focus of their weekly sessions, as they all feel this “shortcoming” has ruined their lives. One evening, when a twenty-something blue-collar guy joins the group, he challenges everything the other men think about “the Irish Curse” …tackling their obsession with body image and unmasking the comical and truthful questions of identity, masculinity, sex and relationships that men must face every day in the world.
