Auditions Announced for FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS at Beavercreek Community Theatre

bctOpen auditions for FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS at Beavercreek Community Theatre, 3868 Dayton-Xenia Rd., Beavercreek, OH 45432.

Auditions are November 16-17 at 7PM

Directed by Debra Kent

During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tennessee, estate, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. They are Frances, a painfully sweet but sheltered fundamentalist; Mindy, the cheerful, wise-cracking lesbian sister of the groom; Georgeanne, whose heartbreak over her own failed marriage triggers outrageous behavior; Meredith, the bride’s younger sister whose precocious rebelliousness masks a dark secret; and Trisha, a jaded beauty whose die-hard cynicism about men is called into question when she meets Tripp, a charming bad-boy usher to whom there is more than meets the eye. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of the women’s spirit.

  • Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
  • A résumé and headshot are not required, but are encouraged.
  • Please bring all conflicts between 11/18/2015 and 1/31/2016, including any holiday plans. (The director will take those conflicts into consideration and intends to give time off during the holidays. The dates will be determined after the show is cast.)
  • For further information, email: dannkent@aol.com

Roles include:

  • Frances – bridesmaid. Sweet, religious. Has led a sheltered life.
  • Meredith – bridesmaid. Sister of the bride. Lives at home. Precocious, rebellious.
  • Trisha – bridesmaid. A faded beauty, glamorous; was always the pretty one.

  • Tripp – an usher who is smitten with Trisha; there is more to him than meets the eye.

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.

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.
