Men Needed for MRS. WARREN’S PROFESSION at Middletown Lyric Theatre

MLT_logoMiddletown Lyric Theatre
1530 Central Ave
Middletown Ohio
513-425-7140

MLT is currently looking for three men. Please contact Charley Shafor at cshafor@middletownlyric.orgcshafor@middletownlyric.org for an audition by appointment.

MRS. WARREN’S PROFESSION
Production dates: March 3, 4, 10 & 11 2017

CHARACTERS: All three men should have the appearance of being in their mid 40s to early 50s.

  • Mr. Praed: A friend of Mrs. Warren, middle-aged and attractive, a good man.
  • Sir George Crofts: Mrs. Warren’s business partner. A middle-aged, stodgy, entitled member of the upper class.
  • Reverend Samuel Gardner: A local minister and (possibly) Vivie’s biological father

SYNOPSIS

Vivie Warren, a thoroughly modern young woman, has just graduated from the University of Cambridge with honours in Mathematics and is available for suitors. Her mother, Mrs. Warren, her mother arranges for her to meet her friend Mr. Praed, a middle-aged, handsome architect, at the home where Vivie is staying. Mrs. Warren arrives with her business partner, Sir George Crofts, who is attracted to Vivie despite their 25-year age difference. Vivie is romantically involved with the youthful Frank Gardner, who sees her as his meal ticket. His father, the (married) Reverend Samuel Gardner, has a history with Vivie’s mother. As we discover later, he may be Vivie’s out-of-wedlock father, which would make Vivie and Frank half-siblings. Mrs. Warren successfully justifies to her daughter how she chose her particular profession in order to support her daughter and give her the opportunities she never had.

CRIMES OF THE HEART Runs Sept. 16-25

LTC_Crimes of the Heart logoCRIMES OF THE HEART
Lebanon Theatre Company
Sept. 16-25
Lebanon

Directed by Cherie Cooper-Darragh
Produced by Jessica Tucker

The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at thirty and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, who quickly outgrew Hazlehurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles, grave and yet, somehow, hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. In the end the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future—but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.
