A 19-year old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. “He doesn’t stand a chance,” mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and- shut case – until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts. One of the jurors says, “We should not make it a personal thing.” But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted, and a new murder threat is born before their eyes!

Auditions Announced for BUS STOP at Mariemont Players

mpi_logoDirector Tom Peters will hold auditions for the Mariemont Players production of BUS STOP, a comedy by William Inge, at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just east of Mariemont) from 7:00-9:00pm on Thursday, March 29th and 3:00-5:00pm on Sunday, March 26th. Callbacks, if needed, will be 7:00-9:00pm on Tuesday, March 31st, 2015.

In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked and the weary travelers will have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse in a sparkling gown and a seedy fur-trimmed jacket, is the passenger with the most to worry about. A belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana.

The director is looking to casting age appropriate actors of any ethnicity for all the roles. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. The cast consists of 3 women and 5 men:

  • Elma Duckworth: Elma is an innocent and naive high-schooler, full of dreams, working as a waitress at the Bus Stop diner. (Age: 15-18)
  • Cherie: A nightclub chanteuse (a singer – ability to hold a tune not important, doesn’t have to be a ‘great’ singer), pretty, fragile, grew up too fast. She wears too much makeup, and is from the Ozarks. She has a southern accent. (Age: 18-24)
  • Grace Hoyland: Owns the diner. Her husband deserted her years ago and she’s finally come to terms with life. She’s wise and motherly, but can be a bit of a flirt if the right man is around. (Age: 35-60)
  • Bo Decker: Ranch owner, attractive, cowboy, brash, impulsive, naive, child-like, innocent and simple. (Age: 18-24)
  • Virgil Blessing: Ranch hand, good-hearted simple cowboy, like a father to Bo, laid back, plays guitar a bit. (Age: 40’s-50’s)
  • Will Masters: Sheriff, big, stern, means business but friendly. (Age: 40-mid 50’s)
  • Dr. Gerald Lyman: Former professor. Graying, alcoholic, divorced, struggling with his inner demons. (Age: 50-60’s)
  • Carl: Bus driver, hearty, a flirt, has seen just about everything. (Age: 30-60)

The production will be staged July 10th through July 26th, 2015.

Anyone with questions or would like a perusal script, please contact the director at sloanpeters@hotmail.com or 513-379-4502.
