Auditions Announced for MPI’s 12 ANGRY JURORS

mpi_logoDirected by Dan Maloney

Sunday, February 15, from 1-4pm and Monday, February 16, from 7-10pm at Walton Creek Theater

Feb. 16 auditions cancelled due to inclement weather.
New date: Tue, Feb. 17 from 7-10pm

A 19-year old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. “He doesn’t stand a chance,” mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and- shut case – until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts. One of the jurors says, “We should not make it a personal thing.” But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted, and a new murder threat is born before their eyes!

Auditions will consist of readings from the script.

Men and women, ages 21 and up. All roles are open to either gender – no roles have been pre-cast. Looking for lots of different types.

12 Angry Jurors will be staged May 8-24, 2015.

Contact the director at maloneykd@gmail.com for more information

Auditions Announced for BLOOD RELATIONS at Village Players

VP_logoVillage Players announces auditions BLOOD RELATIONS. A Drama by Sharon Pollock.

Directed by jef brown
Produced by Wayne Kirsch

Sun., January 18, 2014, at 7:00 PM & Monday, January 19, 2014 at 7:00 PM

At the Fort Thomas Woman’s Club (Street Level)
8 N. Fort Thomas Avenue, Fort Thomas, KY 41075

The play begins ten years after the Fall River murders: On a cool Sunday afternoon in the fall of 1902, an actress from Boston is visiting her friend, the infamous Miss Lizzie Borden. Miss Lizzie has spent the last ten years keeping a low profile since her acquittal of the murder of her father and stepmother.

Miss Lizzie proposes a game in which The Actress is to play the role of Lizzie, while the real Miss Lizzie paints the background of her home and family life, as well as taking on the role of the housemaid Bridget O’Sullivan. Miss Lizzie fills The Actress’ mind with images to guide her performance, as we witness pivotal moments leading up to the August morning in 1892 when Mr. and Mrs. Borden were found with thirteen and thirty-two axe blows to their heads.

The cast will consist of three actors and four actresses, 20s to 60s:

Men:

  • Harry, Lizzie’s step-uncle
  • Andrew Borden, Lizzie’s father
  • Dr. Patrick, the Irish doctor

Women:

  • Miss Lizzie
  • The Actress
  • Emma, Lizzie’s older sister
  • Abigail Borden, Lizzie’s step-mother

BLOOD RELATIONS will be staged April 17-25, 2014.

Auditions will consist of readings from the script. Bring resume and known conflicts Feb. 15-April 26.
Headshots welcome, but not necessary.
