Auditions Announced for PRIVATE LIVES at Beavercreek Community Theatre

bctDirected by Tim Rezash
Production: 2/2/24 – 2/11/23

Auditions: November 13 & 14, 2023 from 7-10pm

3868 Dayton Xenia Rd, Beavercreek, OH, United States, 45432

Revived in 2002 by the Royal National Theatre in a production that sparkled on Broadway, Private Lives is one of the most sophisticated, entertaining plays ever written. Elyot and Amanda, once married and now honeymooning with new spouses at the same hotel, meet by chance, reignite the old spark and impulsively elope. After days of being reunited, they again find their fiery romance alternating between passions of love and anger. Their aggrieved spouses appear and a roundelay of affiliations ensues as the women first stick together, then apart, and new partnerships are formed. A uniquely humorous play boasting numerous successful Broadway runs with stars like Coward himself, Laurence Olivier, Tallulah Bankhead, Gertrude Lawrence, Tammy Grimes, Richard Burton, and Elizabeth Taylor.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

  • Elyot Chase: handsome 30-ish man; divorced from Amanda, remarried to Sibyl.
  • Amanda Prynne: 30-ish, beautiful, vivacious, independent, and
    unconventional. Elyot’s first wife and own true love; married to Victor.
  • Sibyl Chase: Elyot’s second wife, young, blonde, 23, and the antithesis of Amanda.
  • Victor Prynne: handsome man, late 30s-40, slightly stodgy, current husband of Amanda.
  • Louise: Amanda’s French-speaking maid, totally confused by the bizarre interactions of the two couples; provides comic relief in Act III.

Synopsis:

Harlene Frye is going to marry her childhood sweetheart this weekend . . . assuming the typical Frye family hijinks don’t derail the wedding! Harlene and Attie’s future together is threatened when the bride-to-be’s awful ex-flame shows up with information she doesn’t want her fiancé to find out. And Harlene’s not the only Frye keeping secrets: Sammy Jo refuses to tell her family she’s moving even though all her bags are already packed. As if that isn’t enough, Dewey can’t figure out why people keep asking him to give his sister away, and busybody Ozella Meeks has somehow ended up as the wedding coordinator. Will the Fryes be able to get Harlene down the aisle in one piece? A bighearted comedy about family—Southern-style.
