Actor’s Theatre Fairborn

Step into the uproarious world of 1950s television with Neil Simon’s “Laughter on the 23rd Floor,” a semi-autobiographical comedy inspired by his time on “Your Show of Shows.” Join the brilliantly neurotic writers as they navigate the pressures of live TV, battling network interference and their own hilarious eccentricities, all while trying to keep their volatile star, Max Prince, in check. Expect a night of non-stop laughter and sharp, rapid-fire wit, perfectly capturing the golden age of television comedy.

Auditions Announced for THE UNDERSTUDY at Beavercreek Community Theatre

THE UNDERSTUDY
Written by Theresa Rebeck

Directed by Debra Kent

Franz Kafka’s undiscovered masterpiece in its Broadway premiere is the hilarious and apropos setting for Theresa Rebeck’s exploration of the existential vagaries of show business and life. Charged with running the understudy rehearsal for the production, Roxanne finds her professional and personal life colliding when Harry, a journeyman actor and her ex-fiancé, is cast as the understudy to Jake, a mid-tier action star yearning for legitimacy. As Harry and Jake find their common ground, Roxanne tries to navigate the rehearsal with a stoned lightboard operator, an omnipresent intercom system, the producers threatening to shutter the show and her own careening feelings about both actors and her past. Will the show go on?

  • Harry – 30’s to early 40’s, the new understudy
  • Jake – 30’s to early 40’s, the current understudy
  • Roxanne – 30’s to early 40’s – the stage manager

Auditions for THE UNDERSTUDY are on May 5th and 6th 7pm-9pm.

Production dates are June 20-29
