THE LAST FIVE YEARS follows the joys and sorrows of Jamie and Cathy, a young couple struggling to find balance between career and relationship. In a creative twist that makes this show pure magic, we venture through their story following Jamie from the beginning of their romance to the end and following Cathy from the end to the beginning. However, their storytelling overlaps for just a moment, on the day of their wedding, for one of the most beautiful duets ever written for the musical theatre.

Auditions Announced for ALMOST, MAINE at Ohio Stage Company

OSC_logoThe Ohio Stage Company will hold open auditions for the heart-warming play ALMOST, MAINE, by John Cariani.

Auditions will take place on Sunday and Monday, December 6 and 7, 2015 at Fitton Center for Creative Arts. 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, 18 years or older, interested in participating in the production. The try-out will consist of a cold reading from the script and several improvisational exercises. There is no need to prepare in advance, audition forms and materials will be provided at the time of the try-outs.
About the show- On a Friday night in deepest winter, the residents of the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine (so far north it’s almost in Canada) are falling in and out of love in unexpected, unusual, and often hilarious ways. As the northern lights hover magically overhead, knees are getting bruised, and hearts are getting broken. But the bruises heal and hearts mend – almost – in this delightful romantic comedy.

Director Skip Badonsky is casting all roles. Needed are a minimum of two men and two women, but this ensemble play could be cast with as many as 10 men and 9 women. The ages of the characters are variable. Acting experience is not necessary, but role seekers should have a desire to share the experience of and commitment to live theatre and the enjoyment of collaborating with other talented individuals. NOTE: Some scenes will require male/female kissing.

Rehearsals will begin immediately and performances will be given January 21-24, 2016.

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.

Auditions Announced for WHO AM I THIS TIME? at Mariemont Players

MPI_logoMariemont Players Announces Auditions for WHO AM I THIS TIME? (& OTHER CONUNDRUMS OF LOVE)

Audition Dates:
Sunday, Jan. 31 from 1-4pm & Tue, Feb. 2 at 7pm

Location: 4101 Walton Creek Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45227

Performance Dates: May 6 – 22, 2016

Synopsis
The subject of this play—as we are told at the outset—is love, pure and complicated. Set on the stage of The North Crawford Mask & Wig Club (“the finest community theatre in central Connecticut!”), three early comic masterpieces by Kurt Vonnegut (Long Walk to Forever, Who am I This Time? and Go Back to Your Precious Wife and Son) are sewn together into a seamless evening of hilarity and humanity. With a single set, wonderful roles for seven versatile actors, and Vonnegut’s singular wit and insight into human foibles, this is a smart, delightful comedy for the whole family.

Character Descriptions
