Auditions Announced for Unfilled Male Roles in SOUTHERN FRIED NUPTIALS at Sunset Players

SSP_logoThe Sunset Players seeks three male actors to fill out the cast for their spring show, SOUTHERN FRIED NUPTIALS, a comedy by Osborne & Eppler.

Characters:

  • ATTICUS “ATTIE” VAN LEER (20s – 40s)  The Frye family lawyer and an all-around good guy. He’s marrying Harlene this weekend. Maybe.
  • BEECHAM LeFETTE (20s – 40s)  Sammy Jo’s husband.
  • CARTER CANFIELD (20s – 40s)  Harlene’s smooth-talking ex-flame. He’s TV- Star-handsome, and he knows it.

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.

Auditions:

Jan. 21 from 4:30-6pm
Jan. 22 & 23 from 6:30-8pm

HARVEY Runs Feb. 8-18

BVCT_HarveyHARVEY
Brookville Community Theatre
Feb. 8-18
[Brookville, Oh.]

Directed by Jonathan Emmert

Cast: Ashley Rickert as Myrtle Mae Simmons, Misty White as Veta Louise Simmons, Al Yarcho as Elwood P. Dowd, Sheryl Koontz as Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet, Kay Sheets as Ruth Kelly RN, Othniel Shupert as Duane Wilson, Matt Fletcher as Lyman Sanderson, John Wysong as William R. Chumley, Andrea Wintrow as Betty Chumley, Dean Shipley as Judge Omar Gaffney & Chance O’Neal as EJ Lofgren (Cabbie)

Elwood P. Dowd is an affable man who claims to have an unseen (and presumably imaginary) friend Harvey Ð whom Elwood describes as a six foot, three-and-one-half inch (192 cm) tall pooka resembling an anthropomorphic rabbit. Elwood introduces Harvey to everyone he meets. His social-climbing sister, Veta Simmons, increasingly finds his eccentric behavior embarrassing. She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium. When they arrive at the sanitarium, a comedy of errors ensues. When Veta confesses that she has seen Harvey too, the young Dr. Sanderson commits Veta instead of Elwood. But when the mistake comes out, the search is on for Elwood and his invisible companion.
When Elwood shows up at the sanitarium looking for his lost friend Harvey, it seems that the mild-mannered Elwood has had a strange influence on the staff, including sanitarium director Dr. Chumley. Only just before Elwood is to be given an injection that will make him into a “perfectly normal human being, and you know what bastards they are!” (in the words of a taxi driver who has become involved in the proceedings) does Veta realize that she would rather have Elwood the same as he has always been Ð carefree and kind Ð even if it means living with Harvey.

Brahms’ GERMAN REQUIEM On Feb. 9-11

CSO_Brahms German RequiemBrahms’ GERMAN REQUIEM
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra 
Feb. 9-11
Music Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Louis Langrée, conductor
Joélle Harvey, soprano
Will Liverman, baritone
May Festival Chorus

With prayerful music for both the living and the dead, the source of comfort in Brahms’ German Requiem is as much human as it is the divine. Louis Langrée leads the CSO along with the May Festival Chorus in Brahms’ large-scale masterpiece. Though Brahms was often discreet in nature, this is a deeply personal work. Spurred by the loss of his mother, and influenced by lingering emotions of self-doubt, he turned to his true religion – music – as a way to console not only himself, but others as well.

We believe that great music is for everyone, regardless of your budget. This concert is eligible for Pay What You Wish Pricing, as well as other discounts. To learn more visit Music for All.
