Auditions Announced for WHO AM I THIS TIME? at Mariemont Players

MPI_logoMariemont Players Announces Auditions for WHO AM I THIS TIME? (& OTHER CONUNDRUMS OF LOVE)

Audition Dates:
Sunday, Jan. 31 from 1-4pm & Tue, Feb. 2 at 7pm

Location: 4101 Walton Creek Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45227

Performance Dates: May 6 – 22, 2016

Synopsis
The subject of this play—as we are told at the outset—is love, pure and complicated. Set on the stage of The North Crawford Mask & Wig Club (“the finest community theatre in central Connecticut!”), three early comic masterpieces by Kurt Vonnegut (Long Walk to Forever, Who am I This Time? and Go Back to Your Precious Wife and Son) are sewn together into a seamless evening of hilarity and humanity. With a single set, wonderful roles for seven versatile actors, and Vonnegut’s singular wit and insight into human foibles, this is a smart, delightful comedy for the whole family.

Character Descriptions
