Auditions Announced for FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS at Beavercreek Community Theatre

bctOpen auditions for FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS at Beavercreek Community Theatre, 3868 Dayton-Xenia Rd., Beavercreek, OH 45432.

Auditions are November 16-17 at 7PM

Directed by Debra Kent

During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tennessee, estate, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. They are Frances, a painfully sweet but sheltered fundamentalist; Mindy, the cheerful, wise-cracking lesbian sister of the groom; Georgeanne, whose heartbreak over her own failed marriage triggers outrageous behavior; Meredith, the bride’s younger sister whose precocious rebelliousness masks a dark secret; and Trisha, a jaded beauty whose die-hard cynicism about men is called into question when she meets Tripp, a charming bad-boy usher to whom there is more than meets the eye. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of the women’s spirit.

  • Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
  • A résumé and headshot are not required, but are encouraged.
  • Please bring all conflicts between 11/18/2015 and 1/31/2016, including any holiday plans. (The director will take those conflicts into consideration and intends to give time off during the holidays. The dates will be determined after the show is cast.)
  • For further information, email: dannkent@aol.com

Roles include:

  • Frances – bridesmaid. Sweet, religious. Has led a sheltered life.
  • Meredith – bridesmaid. Sister of the bride. Lives at home. Precocious, rebellious.
  • Trisha – bridesmaid. A faded beauty, glamorous; was always the pretty one.
  • Georgeanne – bridesmaid. In a failed married; not afraid to be outrageous; sleeps around.
  • Mindy – bridesmaid. Attractive, gay, loves to eat, sister of the groom. Country club socialite.
  • Tripp – an usher who is smitten with Trisha; there is more to him than meets the eye.

Performances are Jan. 22-31.

Beavercreek Community Theatre is proud to present their Edge of the Creek production of CALIFORNIA SUITE

Beavercreek Community Theatre is proud to present their Edge of the Creek production of CALIFORNIA SUITE by Neil Simon

Suite Web MainThis story, which follows four groups of individuals rotating through a California hotel room, will be presented at 8PM on October 30-31 & November 6-7 and at 3 p.m. on November 1 & 8.

It’s a humorous confection divided into four parts: In Visitor from New York, Hannah, portrayed by Debra Strauss, is a magazine writer joined by her ex-husband, played by Matt Lindsay, with the question being with whom should their daughter spend the next six months?

The Visitor from Philadelphia is a wife, brought to life by Angie Thacker, who arrives at the suite, catching her husband “en flagrante delicto” with a drunken hooker, portrayed by Brad Bishop and Madeline Swanson respectively.

Visitors from London brings a British star as Academy Award nominee. Diana returns from the ceremony empty-handed to husband Sidney whose homosexuality will be no comfort tonight. Debra Strauss and Matt Lindsay will return to the stage to bring these characters to life.

The Visitors from Chicago are two couples ending a disastrous vacation they should not have shared. Brad Bishop pulls double duty in this role as well, this time joined by Amy Taint as his wife, with Jamie McQuinn and Nancy Albert as the competing couple.

The show, directed by Mike Rousculp, is an Edge of the Creek productions, meaning it is intended for mature audiences only.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors, BCT Members, and students. Tickets can be reserved by calling 937­429­4737 and leaving a message or by e­mailing boxoffice@bctheatre.org. For more information, visit the theater’s website at www.bctheatre.org where tickets can also be purchased online.

Beavercreek Community Theatre is located within the Lofino Adult Enrichment and Cultural Arts Center at 3868 Dayton­Xenia Road in Beavercreek.
