The Mad Anthony Theatre Company Seeks Set Designer for SCOTT & HEM

MATCThe Mad Anthony Theatre Company is seeking a set designer for its final production of the 2015-2016 season, SCOTT AND HEM.  This is PAID POSITION.  The set is a simple interior set and all materials will be provided.  Compensation is for the design.  Additional compensation can be provided if the designer is able to build the set as well.

Please contact the producer/director Adam Drake at ajdrake1@gmail.com.

SCOTT AND HEM will be performed May 12-15, 2016 at the Fitton Center for Creative Arts in Hamilton, Ohio.  Tickets are only $10.00 + fees and can be purchased online at www.fittoncenter.org.

The year is 1937, and novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald is holed up in a Hollywood villa, trying to finish a screenplay and stay on the wagon while a raucous July 4th party unfolds beneath his balcony. When Ernest Hemingway enters, the real fireworks begin. Their encounter sparks a rambling conversation that ranges from alcoholism and insanity to death and homosexuality. Their egos are larger than the Hollywoodland sign outside the window. They drop names and one-liners. But for all their swagger and luster, the two writers are haunted by the nagging fear that they are out of words. Scott and Hem is a drama about the cost of love, friendship, and the price of being a writer.

Event Sponsor – Sara Carruthers

Mom and Dad Needed for OVER THE TAVERN at Middletown Lyric Theatre

MLT_logoMiddletown Lyric Theatre
1530 Central Avenue
Middletown, Ohio
513-425-7140
middletownlyric.org

OVER THE TAVERN by Tom Dudzik
Directed by: Charley Shafor

Performances:
May 27 & 28 & June 3 & 4

Rehearsals begin May1 with a three week rehearsal period.

Roles:

CHET: The father of four and husband to Ellen. He runs a bar that the family owns and lives above. He is a believer of the Catholic church and feels his children are on a path of destruction. He struggles with forming loving relationships between each of them. In the end he is a good man searching for peace.

ELLEN: The glue that keeps the family intact. She is funny, sarcastic, quick witted and tired. She manages her brood and distant husband with a flare that many housewives in the fifties needed to survive. She has a different approach to her family than her husband does but she loves him nonetheless.

SYNOPSIS
In that most idealized period of 20th-century America, the Eisenhower years of the 1950s, the Pazinski family has a lot going on in their cramped Buffalo apartment. The youngest of the bunch, 12-year-old Rudy, is a smart, wise-cracking kid who’s starting to question family values and the Roman Catholic Church. When Rudy goes up against the ruler wielding Sister Clarissa and announces that instead of being confirmed he’d rather shop around for a more “fun” religion, all hell breaks loose. A warm and hilarious look at family, growing up, and God.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN AUDITIONING PLEASE CONTACT ASAP:

Charely Shafor – cshafor@middetownlyric.org or call 513-425-7140
