EXTREMITIES
By William Mastrosimone

In a vicious encounter, Marjorie is attacked in her home by a would-be rapist. She manages to turn the tables on him, imprisoning him in her fireplace. But when her roommates come home to find the assailant bound and blinded, tensions rise to a raging fever pitch. All the players must now deal with their own pasts and their future decisions – should the attacker pay with his life or not?  A searing story that featured Farah Fawcett on Broadway and in the film

Tim Perrino, Director; Josh Neumeyer Production Stage Manager

Auditions Announced for GUYS AND DOLLS presented by Acting Up

ACTUP_logoYou must sign up for an audition spot on Sign Up Genius. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040e4facaf29a13-acting1

Who: ages 6-18
When: Monday June 8 or Tuesday June 9, 6:30-9pm. You will sign up for a 20 minute spot, but the entire audition will take about 45 minutes.

Where: Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 7701 Kenwood Road, Cincinnati, OH 45236 (By the Kenwood Mall)

What to prepare and bring:

  • Song: Be prepared to perform 32 measures (no longer than 1 minute) of any song that highlights your voice. This should be a Broadway-type song. You preferably should sing with a CD or ipod karaoke-type music (no vocals,) or you may sing a-cappella. There will not be an accompanist.
  • Monologue: You should perform a monologue of 1-2 minutes that demonstrates your acting ability and range. (you may be cut off)
  • Dress to dance.
  • Please bring a completed Audition Form. Found at http://www.ActingUp.com
  • Photo: Bring a recent photo that looks like you, that you do not need returned. No need at all for professional photos. It is merely to help the casting board recall who is who.
  • Show info: Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, “Guys And Dolls” ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. It received nearly unanimous positive reviews from critics and won a bevy of awards, including TONY Awards, Drama Desks, and Olivers. Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, “Guys and Dolls” is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler Nathan Detroit tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend, nightclub performer Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for 14 years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown. Guys And Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

Performances will be Sept. 25-27 at the Mason High School Theater.

Who’s Directing?: Show will be directed by Erin Wallace, Music Direction by Jeanne Bilyeu and Choreography by Jerry Wiesenhahn.
