NUNSENSE Character descriptions:

  • Sister Mary Regina, Mother Superior
    A feisty, overweight (optional) Sophie Tucker –type who can’t resist the spotlight. Strong comedienne. Vocal part: Mezzo/belter.
  • Sister Mary Hubert, Mistress of Novices
    The second in command, she is always competing with the Mother Superior (with friendly rivalry). Vocal part: Mezzo/belter.
  • Sister Robert Anne
    A streetwise character from a tough neighborhood. A constant source of (friendly) aggravation for the Mother Superior. Desperate for a starring role. Vocal part: Mezzo/belter.
  • Sister Mary Amnesia
    This nun lost her memory after a crucifix fell on her head. She is very sweet and funny (and perhaps a sandwich short of a picnic!). Vocal part: Soprano AND belter.
  • Sister Mary Leo, The novice
    She entered the convent with the firm desire to become the first nun ballerina. Must perform ballet either on pointe, or in slippers. Vocal part: Mezzo/belter.

Show synopsis:
The Order of the Little Sisters of Hoboken take over a high school
auditorium to hold a fundraising variety show to raise money to bury several
sisters (who were accidentally poisoned by their cook). They must inter the nuns
before the health inspector comes and finds the dead nuns in their
freezer! Fraught with hilarity, both Catholic and otherwise, we watch as 5 nuns
try to perform their planned performance amidst chaos and calamity.

GODSPELL at Thompson House CANCELLED

TH_GodspellI have just been informed (indirectly) that the upcoming production of GODSPELL has been cancelled.

Personally. I am very disappointed and I apologize for anyone’s time that was wasted.

All questions should be directed by Kirt Lee at Thompson House.

SCCT Announces Auditions for SPAMALOT on May 13

SCCT_SpamalotSinclair Theatre will hold OPEN AUDITIONS for Monty Python’s SPAMALOT – a new musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and The Holy Grail — Monday, May 13th beginning at 6 p.m. in 2L12 on Sinclair’s downtown Dayton campus.

With book and lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, SPAMALOT is the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they embark on their quest for the Holy Grail. Flying cows, killer rabbits, the lady of the lake and show-stopping musical numbers are just part of this hilarious, yet highly irreverent parody.

OPEN AUDITIONS means that performers do not have to be theatre majors or Sinclair students. All actors prepared with the following requirements are welcome to audition: memorize a 1-minute comedic monologue and 32 bars of a comedic, musical theatre piece. An accompanist will be provided. You must bring sheet music; no a cappella or recorded music allowed.

Callbacks will be May 14th and will consist of cold readings, singing and a dance audition. Director is Gina Kleesattel. Music Direction is by Daniel Greene and choreography by Rodney Veal.

Production dates will be October 4-12. Online audition registrations at: www.sinclair.edu/theatreauditions. For more information: patti.celek@sinclair.edu.

Cast and Tech Call for SPACE BETWEEN MY HEAD AND MY BODY

“The Space Between my Head and my Body”
Casting and Tech personnel needed

SEM_logoFresh, new theatre company, Shark Eat Muffin, celebrates their second performance this season with the much anticipated US premier of Catie O’Keefe’s play, The Space Between my Head and my Body directed by Laura Boggs. SPACE will be performed as part of the 2013 Cincinnati Fringe Festival.

Show Description: The Space Between my Head and my Body explores the lives of seven people whose paths collide in flight on an airplane. In the unquantifiable space between departure and arrival, male and female, physical body and identity, we examine what defines each one of them. As the characters weave in and out of different times and spaces, different flights and even different bodies, they remain connected by the same journey. A journey that is forever pushing forward towards the fate of the passengers, their relationship to one another and their own survival in a sea of lost travellers.

The show was produced at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland and was published in 2010 by Original Works Publishing.

Characters sought: 4-7 actors* (in a smaller cast, actors will play multiple roles)

  • Huw: Male in his thirties
  • Dolly: Female in her thirties
  • Mark: Teen and then early twenties male
  • Megan: Mark’s twin sister, teen and then early twenties female.
  • Lois: Mark and Megan’s mother (same actress or younger version to play Lois as a 16 year old)
  • Krissy: Flight attendant in twenties (should be played by a male)
  • Female
  • Male
    *All roles are paid

Tech needs:

Details:
