A CHORUS LINE
September 3 – September 27, 2015

A CHORUS LINE is a stunning musical-vérité about a chorus audition for a Broadway musical. It tells of the achingly poignant ambitions of professional Broadway gypsies to land a job in the show, and is a powerful metaphor for all human aspiration. Memorable musical numbers include I Can Do That, At the Ballet, Dance: Ten; Looks: Three, The Music and the Mirror, What I Did for Love, One (Singular Sensation) and I Hope I Get It. It is a brilliantly complex fusion of dance, song and compellingly authentic drama. The show was instantly recognized as a classic.

Auditions Announced for FOX ON THE FAIRWAY at Covedale Center

CCPACincinnati Landmark Productions will hold auditions for FOX ON THE FAIRWAY on:

Sunday, May 17 and Monday, May 18, 2015
6:30–9:30pm

All auditions will be held at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, 4990 Glenway Avenue in West Price Hill.

Please note:  No more than two conflicts will be accepted during the rehearsal process for this production.

SYNOPSIS
A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) to the great farces of the 1930s and 1940s, The Fox On the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man’s eternal love affair with… GOLF!

Directed by Bob Brunner

Rehearsals begin:  Monday, Sept. 14, 2015
Performance dates:  Oct. 22 – Nov. 15, 2015

All roles are paid positions.  No roles have been precast.

Roles include:

  • HENRY BINGHAM (mid 40s): Director of the Quail Valley Country Club. He is witty and cynical at times, much like Basil Fawlty from the british sitcom. He gets into a high-stakes bet on a golf tournament and is determined to do what it takes to win. He is also unhappy in his marriage to Muriel and becomes involved with Pamela.
  • PAMELA PEABODY (39): A member of the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive and sophisticated, but a bit loose and a bit of a drinker. Throughout the production she aids Bingham in his plans to make sure their club wins.
  • JUSTIN HICKS (25): Bingham’s new eager-to-please assistant who volunteers his services as a golfer to help Quail Valley win the golf tournament. He is romantically involved with Louise and proposes to her early on, but becomes emotionally distraught when things become difficult between them.
  • LOUISE HEINDBEDDER (23): A waitress at the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive, and a bit flighty, but studious. She gets engaged to Justin early on, but a mishap results in her becoming very upset over their future together, making her bawl at a moment’s notice.
  • DICKIE BELL (mid 40s): The director of the rival Crouching Squirrel Country Club, with whom Bingham gets into a high-stakes wager. He is a bit obnoxious, including his fashion sense, but tries to come off as good-natured. He is Pamela’s ex and has a thing for Bingham’s wife Muriel.
  • MURIEL BINGHAM (40s): Bingham’s wife, who runs an antique shop, which becomes part of the wager between Henry and Dickie. Generally overbearing and stern, she somehow has a soft spot for Dickie.

LCT Review of THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES

LCT_VThis review has been reposted courtesy of the League of Cincinnati Theatres. For more LCT reviews click here to visit their reviews page.

If you like 1950’s music sung with 1950’s women’s quartets and enough plot to make it a musical instead of a concert, you will like THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES at the Covedale. The 4-women ensemble consisting of Kate Elliott, Grace Eichler, Lauren Carr and Blair Godshall sing, dance and act well enough to provide an entertaining evening out of pretty thin material. The first act of the show is about four high school seniors at their 1958 prom who have been asked to provide the entertainment by creating a girl singing ensemble called the Marvelous Wonderettes. The second act shows the four women 10 years later at their high school reunion and we find out what has happened to each in the meantime. Their stories are told through their songs including 1950’s and 1960’s pop songs such as “Mr. Sandman”, “Lollipop”, “Dream Lover”, “It’s my Party” and “You Don’t Own Me”. The harmonies improved as the night progressed, plagued somewhat by early miking issues. The singers have powerful voices and I’m sure it will improve. The choreography is simple yet typical of the female (and male) groups of the day. The set is typical 1950’s high school gym/stage with a basketball scoreboard, a stage at the back and minutiae such as graffiti on the wall. This show is not Shakespeare but it is fun, entertaining and energetic led by a captivating and talented cast. It’s Wonderette enough. And, going to the Covedale is always a treat.
