The comedy-murder mystery CATCH ME IF YOU CAN by Jack Weinstock (not the Frank Abagnale story or a musical) for Stagecrafters, Inc. is suddenly in need of two people to play roles. One role is a Male, 50s – 60s in age, and the other is a Female, 20s to 30s in age.
Show dates are October 29th, Nov. 4 & 5 at 8:00 pm and Oct. 30 and Nov. 6 at 3:00 pm. Both roles in the Third Act, so rehearsal commitment for the first month is minimal. Rehearsals generally on T-Th-F-Su.
Please contact Mike Morehead if you’re interested, or if you know of someone who might be.

True Theatre’s 7th season is starting off with trueADDICTION (Monday, October 10, 2016).
As is true with each show in our season, we are seeking 5 people with true, personal stories that cover the theme of “addiction”. This does not have to be drugs/alcohol-related. While we do expect to feature those in this show, we are looking for a variety of addictions to cover.
We are scheduling auditions/interviews for THIS SUNDAY, 8/28, in O’Bryonville. We schedule people in 1/2-hour slots (between around 12 noon and 5pm, depending on the turn-out) and recommend people reading truetheatre.com/auditions.html before visiting us. If you cannot make it this Sunday, please get in touch as soon as possible so we know how many out-standing stories we need to hear and then we’ll try to arrange to meet you separately or at least to talk on the phone.
If you have a story that is yours and that you feel can be told in 10-15 minutes without notes, and covers the theme of “addiction,” reach out to us at stories@truetheatre.com and we’ll set up a time and give you directions to where we’ll be meeting.
