ANGEL STREET Runs March 7-16

ANGEL STREET
Beavercreek Community Theatre
March 7-16
[Beavercreek]

Directed by David Shough

Cast: Mike Beerbower as Mr. Manningham, Megan Cooper as Mrs. Manningham, Jim Walker as Rough, Caitlin Larsen-Deer as Elizabeth, Olivia Burchfield as Nancy & TBA as Policemen

A Broadway hit first produced on the West End under the title Gaslight and filmed twice, Angel Street tells the story of the Manninghams, who live on Angel Street in 19th century London. As the curtain rises, all appears to be the essence of Victorian tranquility. It is soon apparent, however, that Mr. Manningham, a suavely handsome man, is slowly driving his gentle, devoted wife, Bella, to the brink of insanity with an insinuating kindness that masks more sinister motives.

  • Fri-Sat, March 7-8 at 8pm

DIE MOMMIE DIE! Runs Jan. 17-26

DIE MOMMIE DIE! 
Beavercreek Community Theatre
Jan. 17-26
[Beavercreek]

DIE MOMMIE DIE! is a comic melodrama evoking the 1960s “Grande Dame Guignol” films that featured aging stars such as Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Lana Turner. Ex-pop singer Angela Andrews is trapped in a hateful marriage with film producer Sol Sussman. Desperate to find happiness with her younger lover, an out-of-work TV actor named Tony Parker, Angela murders her husband with the aid of a poisoned suppository. In a plot that reflects Greek tragedy as well as Hollywood kitsch, Angela’s Elektra-like daughter Edith convinces Angela’s emotionally disturbed son Lance that they must avenge their father’s death by killing their mother.

Auditions Announced for ANGEL STREET at Beavercreek Community Theatre

Open Auditions for ANGEL STREET by Patrick Hamilton

Directed by David Shough

Monday and Tuesday, January 27-28, 2025, 7-9pm
Beavercreek Community Theatre

You need only attend one night, but are welcome at both. If you cannot attend either audition date, contact the director at davids@pbstudios.com or 937-626-2674, and we will make time or permit a video audition. Performance dates: March 7-16, 2025; Friday – Sunday. Rehearsals will generally be Monday through Thursday evenings, subject to cast schedules.

Seeking:
2 men and 3 women, plus two non-speaking police officers who appear at the end of the play. Race is not relevant to any role. All races & ethnicities are encouraged to audition.

  • Mr. Manningham – good looking, about forty-five. He is heavily moustached and bearded and perhaps a little too well dressed. His manner is suave and authoritative, with a touch of mystery and bitterness.
  • Mrs. Manningham, Bella – about thirty-four. She has been good-looking, almost a beauty – but now she has a haggard, wan, frightened air, with rings under her eyes that tell of sleepless nights and worse.
  • Elizabeth, a servant – strong, amiable, and subservient woman of fifty; loyal to Bella.
  • Nancy, a servant – a self-conscious, pretty, cheeky girl of nineteen; she much prefers the master than the mistress.
  • Detective Rough – Middle-aged, graying, active, brusque, friendly, and overbearing. He has a low warm chuckle and completely dominates the scene from the beginning.

The Play:
A 1938 play, originally titled Gaslight (and the source of the psychological meaning of that word), it had one of the longest runs on Broadway for a non-musical and was adapted into a notable 1944 film starring Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman in the Manningham roles, and young Angela Landsbury, in her film debut, as Nancy.

The full script is available online at
www.coldreads.wordpress.com/2020/09/15/angel-street

With the heroine in distress, the manipulative husband, and the sturdy detective here to save  the day, the play gives homage to the melodramas of the past but has more the sense of a thriller. The characters are vivid and their emotions on full display.

The Audition:
Audition sides will be available for download in early January.
British accents are required for all actors.
Please bring a resume and a list of all conflicts through March 16, 2025.
