ALMOST, MAINE Runs Feb. 16-19

ghct_almost-maine-logoALMOST, MAINE
Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre
Feb. 16-19
Miami University Hamilton

Directed by Brian Smith
Produced by Mandy Gambrell & Lyndall Murray

Cast: Tom Dierling, Rhonda Lucas, Mark Metzner, Leah Murphy, Gabby Neal, Carter Perry & Rose Vanden Eynden

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States—it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist. Because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just…Almost. One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same.

Kids ages 8 and up are to audition with the adults. I will cast 5-10 kids as part of the ensemble. For question please contact me at rodneyn2@hotmail.com.

What to prepare:

  • Adults and children should prepare 1-2 min of a musical theatre style song.
  • After singing, you may be asked to stay for the dance portion of the audition. Please be prepared and have appropriate footwear. If you have tap shoes, please bring them.
  • Bring sheet music for the accompanist or sing with a CD. CD player with be provided.
  • Bring a complete list of conflict dates from Feb 12th through April 13th. You may not have any conflicts April 16th to the end of the run without prior approval.
  • Rehearsals are tentatively set to start Feb 12th at 6:30. We will rehearse Sunday’s at 6:30, and Monday and Wednesday’s at 7:00. We will add Thursday rehearsals starting March 23rd.

Cast needs:

  • Joe Boyd – A middle-aged, married man who is in love with baseball, especially the Senators.
  • Joe Hardy – The 22-year-old, home run hitting alter ego of Joe Boyd.
  • Mr. Applegate – The Devil in disguise as a slick salesman. A controlling, greedy smooth talker.
  • Lola – The Devil’s seductress assistant. Sexy and confident.
  • Meg Boyd – Joe’s long-suffering, but loyal wife.
  • Van Buren – The luckless team manager. A sort of father-figure for the team, who proudly defends them.
  • Gloria Thorpe – A probing reporter who’s bottom-line is a good story for her paper. Fearless and biting.
  • Rocky – A baseball player for the Washington Senators. Cocky, but a little bit dopey, too. He’s a guy’s guy.
  • Smokey – A catcher for the Washington Senators. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
  • Sohovik – A baseball player for the Washington Senators. The smartest and most level headed of the players. The unofficial leader of the team.
  • Sister – A friend of Meg’s and Doris’s sister. Outspoken and brash, but caring.
  • Doris – A friend of Meg’s.
  • Mr. Welch – The owner of the Senators. Believes in Joe and believes in his team.
  • Henry – A baseball player for the Washington Senators.
  • Linville – A baseball player for the Washington Senators.
  • Vernon – A baseball player for the Washington Senators.
