MCP_logoAuditions for Mason Community Players Fall Show Are Set – Mason Community Players, Inc. is holding auditions for its fall show, SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! The show will be directed by Laureen Catlin and produced by Mary Stan Fizer with musical direction by Lara Gonzalez.

In Schoolhouse, we meet Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher who is freaked out about his first day of teaching.

Full of familiar tunes such as Just a Bill, Lolly, Lolly, Lolly and Conjunction Junction this show promises to transport you back to a simpler time.

If you are interested in being a part of the show, the singing of a song is the requirement. Come as a family! Come with your partner! Come as an individual! Each song is being treated as a mini show in itself with its own “family.” Depending on the number cast, you could be a part of two or more songs with a flexible rehearsal schedule. It’s a perfect show for those whose schedules make rehearsals for book musicals a challenge.

Auditions will be

  • Saturday, May 18th from 2pm to 6pm or
  • Sunday, May 19th from 2pm to 4pm

at 5140 Minuteman Court, Mason

Auditions Announced for CRIMES OF THE HEART at The Drama Workshop

TDW_VERTThe Drama Workshop and director Jerry Wiesenhahn are pleased to announce auditions for CRIMES OF THE HEART by Beth Henley on the evenings of Sunday May 5th, and Monday May 6th 2024. Auditioners should reserve May 7th in the case that callbacks are warranted. Auditions will be held at The Drama Workshop located at 3716 Glenmore Ave. Megan Schultheis is producing.

Synopsis: CRIMES OF THE HEART is a Pulitzer Prize winning drama by Beth Henley. The three Magrath sisters reunite at their Grandfather’s home in Hazlehurst, Mississippi due to his severely failing health; it quickly comes to light that Babe, the youngest sister, shot her abusive husband earlier that day. As they await news of his status from the hospital, past resentments bubble to the surface and the sisters are forced to deal with assorted relatives and past relationships while coping with Babe’s impending trial. Each sister is forced to face the consequences of her own “crimes of the heart”.

Note: This play deals with attempted suicide, spousal abuse and other possibly difficult topics. TDW is committed to dealing with these issues with as much sensitivity as possible throughout the rehearsal process.

Please sign up for a time slot here:

  • All cast members will be required to become members of The Drama Workshop, and agree to TDW’s Code of Conduct prior to rehearsals starting..

Character Breakdown:

  • Lenny Magrath, 30, the oldest sister. Lenny is insecure about most things in her life, but especially about her relationships with men. She has a difficult relationship with her sister Meg and hides in her caregiving, which gives her an excuse to stay home.
  • Meg Magrath, 27, the middle sister. Meg moved to Hollywood to pursue her singing career, seemingly abandoning her sisters and her relationship with Doc. She appears to live her life in the moment, but may not be as steely hard as she seems.
  • Babe Botrelle, 24, the youngest sister. Babe is the most fragile of the sisters. A dreamer and innocent, she’s not quite sure what all the fuss is about her shooting her husband.
  • Chick Boyle, 29, the sisters’ first cousin. Chick is brassy, loud and continually passes judgment on her cousins and how they live their lives.
  • Doc Porter, 30, Meg’s old boyfriend. Doc is now married with two children, but the flame he carries for Meg still burns bright.
  • Barnette Lloyd, 26, Babe’s lawyer. Barnette is a recent law school graduate who is competent beyond his years. He has a soft spot for Babe and wants to protect her from her abusive husband.

Production Dates: Performances run 3 weekends from October 4th – 20th, 2024.. There are a total of 10 performances. Friday 8pm, Saturday 8pm, Sunday 2pm each weekend, with a Thursday 730pm performance the final weekend.
