FFL_Proof logoPROOF
Fairfield Footlighters
Nov. 9-18
Fairfield Community Arts Center

Directed by Kevin Noll
Produced by Melissa Noll

Cast: Rachel Smith as Catherine, Burt McCollom as Robert, Michael Schumacher as Hal & Mandy Goodwin as Claire

Catherine has inherited her late father’s mathematical brilliance, but she is haunted by the fear that she might also share his debilitating mental illness. She has spent years caring for her now-deceased father, and upon his death, she feels left alone to pick up the pieces of her life without him. Caught between a new-found connection with Hal, one of her father’s former students, and the reappearance of her sister, Claire, Catherine finds both her world and her mind growing increasingly unstable. Then Hal discovers a groundbreaking proof among the 103 notebooks Catherine’s father left behind, and Catherine is forced to further question how much of her father’s genius or madness will she inherit. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, David Auburn’s Proof is a passionate, intelligent story about fathers and daughters, the nature of genius, and the power of love.

Auditions Announced for THE SAVANNAH SIPPING SOCIETY at Fairfield Footligthers

fflFairfield Footlighters is holding open auditions for THE SAVANNAH SIPPING SOCIETY, directed by Heidi Schiller.

Monday, December 10 & Tuesday, December 11, at 6:30 pm at the Fairfield Community Arts Center, 411 Wessel Drive, 45014.

Auditions will consist of cold-readings from the script. Please be prepared to list all rehearsal conflicts.

Casting for:
Randa (playing age 49), a perfectionist and workaholic, who is struggling to cope with a surprise career derailment that, unfortunately, reveals that she has no life and no idea how to get one.
Dot (playing age 69) still reeling from her husband’s recent demise and the loss of their plans for an idyllic retirement, she faces the unsettling prospect of starting a new life from scratch—and all alone.
Marlafaye (playing age 57) good ole’ Texas gal, who has blasted into Savannah in the wake of losing her tom-cattin’ husband to a twenty-three-year-old dental hygienist. The strength of her desire to establish a new life is equaled only by her desire to wreak a righteous revenge on her ex.
Jinx (playing age 53) a spunky ball of fire, she offers her services as a much-needed life coach for these women. However, she over-looks the fact that she’s the one most in need of sage advice.

Rehearsals: Monday – Thursday, 6:30 PM to 9 PM, starting January 7
Performances: February 16-18 & 23-25.

ABOUT THE SHOW: In this laugh-a-minute comedy, four unique Southern women, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines, are drawn together by Fate—and an impromptu happy hour—and decide it’s high time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they’ve lost through the years. Over the course of six months, filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures, and the occasional liquid refreshment, these middle-aged women successfully bond and find the confidence to jump-start their new lives. Together, they discover lasting friendships and a renewed determination to live in the moment—and most importantly, realize it’s never too late to make new old friends!

Auditions Announced for PROOF at Fairfield Footlighters

fflMonday, September 17 at 6:30 pm
Tuesday, September 18 at 6:30 pm

Fairfield Community Arts Center
411 Wessel Drive, 45014
Front Reception: 513-867-5348

Auditions for 2 Women / 2 Men

Auditions will consist of cold-readings from the script. Please be prepared to list all rehearsal conflicts.

Casting for:

  • Catherine, playing age 25, inherited much of her father’s mathematical genius and, she fears, his “instability” as well; she gave up her life and schooling to take care of her father until his recent death.
  • Claire, playing age 30-35, a practical and business-minded woman who has been comfortably successful in her work and relationships. She left Robert and Catherine behind, distancing herself from the run-down family home of her youth. She left the family to make a new life for herself in New York City.
  • Robert, playing age 50-60, as seen in Catherine’s imagination and flashback, a recently deceased mathematician praised for his groundbreaking work in his youth, but whose later years were plagued by delusional mental illness.
  • Harold (Hal), playing age 20-30, one of Robert’s last Ph.D. students during the one year his idol and mentor’s illness went into remission, at least enabling Robert to teach, if not continue his own creative mathematical work.

Directed by Kevin Noll, knoll826@gmail.com
Rehearsals: Monday – Thursday, 6:30 PM to 9 PM
