CSP(OH) Announces Auditions for QUARTET

CenterStage Players (OH) Announces Auditions for QUARTET by Ronald Harwood. Directed by Burt McCollom.

A Comedy (sentimental…somewhat bittersweet)

Auditions: Monday, Dec. 10th & Tuesday, Dec. 11th from 7-9:30PM

The North College Hill City Center, 1500 W. Galbraith Rd., Cincinnati, 45231

Reggie (tenor), Cecily (contralto), and Wilfred (baritone) reside in a rest home for retired opera singers and musicians. Each year, on the 10th of October, there is a concert to celebrate Verdi’s birthday. Jean (soprano), who was briefly married to Reggie, arrives at the home and disrupts the equilibrium with her diva attitude. Together again, could they pull off re-creating their famous Act 3 Quartet from Rigoletto? ***Bobby, the meanest chorus member and concert heckler, may be added.

Please bring a headshot and resume. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

Be prepared to a cappella “shower” sing, but NO song preparation is required or needed.

Rehearsals will begin in early January. Performance Dates: Match 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 2013

Further information…contact Burt McCollom bmccollom@cinci.rr.com
