The Story…
Based on the hit film staring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks and an incredible true story, Catch Me If You Can, is the high-flying musical comedy about chasing your dreams and not getting caught. Nominated for 4 TONY awards, including Best Musical, this delightfully entertaining show was created by a TONY Award-winning “dream team”, with a book by Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime) and a swinging score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray).Catch Me If You Can is a big and bright spectacle with high-energy dance numbers and a riveting story, about Frank Abignale, Jr. who seeks fame and fortune by running away from home to begin an unforgettable adventure. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer – living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams.

Sunday’s audition time is 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Monday’s audition time is 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. These open auditions are for anyone interested in participating in the production.

For community members interested in behind‐the‐scenes participation, Ohio Stage encourages you to volunteer. Stop by one of the audition sessions to complete a crew member form.

Written by award winning playwright Ken Ludwig, the show is the wild holiday adventure of a mouse, an elf, and a spunky young girl who just wonʹt take no for an answer, on their quest to find out why Santa missed their house last year. It is a family friendly show with a cast of zany characters. The show will be presented December 17 – 20.

Director Skip Badonsky is looking for five performers to fill the following roles:

(Ages are suggested by the script and director. The director will cast actors who can believably play the ages suggested.)

  • UNCLE BRIERLY (40s – 60s) A bit of a portly man with a hearty laugh and a charming smile. Brierly is the kind of man who is everyone’s uncle and is just the kind of man you want to be around at Christmas time. The actor playing Brierly will also play Sir Guy of Gisbourne.
  • EMILY (10 – 15) A little girl with a zest for living! Her passion, energy and playful nature shine brightly, making her the perfect addition to a Christmas family. Casting Note: We will consider teenagers and young adults.
  • AMOS (10 – 15) A mouse who is calm, cool and collected…on the surface! Underneath, he is the embodiment of a nervous mouse. The actor playing Amos will also play Amos of Kansas. Casting Note: We will consider teenagers and young adults.
  • CALLIOPE (20s – 30s) An elf with the true embodiment of Christmas magic. She is loving, sweet and nurturing. The actor playing Calliope will play Britannia Sneed.
  • MULCH (20s – 40s) The side‐kick to Sir Guy of Gisbourne. He is clueless and dorky, which leads to a madcap adventure! The actor playing Mulch will aslo play Wendell Sneed and Santa Claus.

DOUBLED CHARACTERS

  • SIR GUY OF GISBOURNE: An ex‐elf who is too wicked for the North Pole to handle. “The fallen Angel”.
  • BRITANNIA SNEED: A whacky friend of Uncle Brierly’s. Married to Wendell Sneed, the ideal candidate will be able to experiment with different dialects.
  • WENDELL SNEED: A whacky friend of Uncle Brierly’s. The ideal candidate will be able to experiment with different dialects.
  • AMOS OF KANSAS: The Western twin of Amos. He is philosophical and very relaxed.
