CSP_Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf logo2WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
CenterStage Players of Ohio
Feb. 5-13
North College Hill City Center

Directed by Lynne Aronson

Cast: Bill Keeton as George, Julie Poux as Martha, Michael Gettinger as Nick & Kiya Fix as Honey

This classic play is an emotional roller coaster between George, a college history professor and his wife Martha, daughter of the college president, and Nick, a new professor in the biology department and his wife, Honey. Illusion and reality are nebulous and never clear.

The morals and mores of the 1950s, wherein families consisted of husband, wife and two perfect children living in the suburbs, is questioned and exposed. Alcohol is used to self-medicate, and the mental stability of all of them is in question.

  • Fri-Sat, Feb. 5-6 at 8pm

Auditions Announced for THE AMISH PROJECT at CenterStage Players

CSPOH_logoCenterStage Players announces auditions on Tuesday, January 5, 2016 at 6:30pm at the North College Hill City Center, 1500 W. Galbraith Rd.

We will be auditioning actors for the following roles in THE AMISH PROJECT:

Auditions will run from 6:30-8:30pm and consist of cold readings from the script. Head shots and resumes are appreciated but not required. Group singing will be required during the show but you won’t be asked to sing during auditions.

THE AMISH PROJECT is a fictional telling of the Nickels Mine, PA schoolhouse shooting in October 2006. A local milkman entered a one-room Amish schoolhouse and after letting the boys and adults go, shot 10 Amish girls, killing 5. In the wake of this horrific event, the Amish community’s only public statement was one of forgiveness for the man who killed their children and compassion for his widow and children.

THE AMISH PROJECT will run May 13-15 and 19-21. Questions? Contact the director, Karen Vanover at karenmdv@aol.com.
