Auditions Announced for ALMOST, MAINE at Springboro Community Theatre

SCT_logoAnnouncing Springboro Community Theatre Auditions for ALMOST, MAINE by John Cariani.

7pm on Monday, January 13, 2020 and Tuesday, January 14, 2020.

Director: Sara Bortz
Assistant Director: Scott Madden

​Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script (available upon request). Resumes and headshots are appreciated, but not required. Auditioners do not need to be there for both nights of auditions, but are welcome to come to both.

Please provide a list of all known conflicts between January 13th and March 8th, including weekends. Rehearsals will be 3-4 days a week M-Th from 7-9:30pm, with possible extended hours and a 5th day if needed in the last 2 weeks of rehearsal. Set build will take place on the weekends, and all actors are encouraged to help.

ALMOST, MAINE is a sweet romantic comedy that inventively explores the mysteries of the human heart. On one deeply cold and magical Midwinter night, the citizens of Almost — not organized enough for a town, too populated for a wilderness — experience the life-altering power of the human heart. Relationships begin, end, or change beyond recognition, as strangers become friends, friends become lovers, and lovers turn into strangers. Propelled by the mystical energy of the aurora borealis and populated with characters who are humorous, plain-spoken, thoughtful, and sincere, Almost, Maine is a series of loosely connected tales about love, each with a compelling couple at its center, each with its own touch of sorcery.

​Available roles include:
Male: Pete, East, Jimmy, Steve, Lendall, Randy, Chad, Phil, Man & Dave
Female: Ginette, Glory, Sandrine, Waitress, Marvalyn, Gayle, Marci, Hope & Rhonda

A diverse cast is desired and encouraged to audition. We are looking for actors who can play ages 18-50, with most characters appearing between 25 and 40. This show will utilize double casting, with 4-7 actors playing multiple roles. This is a great chance to showcase your range of emotions and comedic timing.​

Show dates are February 28, 29, March 6, 7 at 8PM, March 1 and 8 at 2PM.

​Contact Sara Bortz at sekrobinson13@gmail.com with any questions.

Springboro Community Theatre Present CHARLOTTE’S WEB

SCT_Charlottes WebSpringboro, OH – The Children’s Literature Association named this “the best American children’s book of the past two hundred years,” and Joseph Robinette, working with the advice of E.B. White, has created a play that captures this work in a thrilling and utterly practical theatrical presentation.

All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.”

Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the “miracle” of her web in which she writes, “Some pig.” It’s the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship.

Charlotte’s Web is a youth production and will be performed in the Premier Health Theatre at the Springboro Performing Arts Center.

Director Mark Goodwin and Assistant Director Alli Brown have gathered a talented group of youth performers to bring this classic tale to the stage. Get your tickets today to see how “with the right words, you can change the world” at BoroTheatre.org!

Springboro Community Theatre presents CHICAGO

SCT_Chicago logoSpringboro, OH – In Chicago during the Roaring Twenties, murder is the name of the game. When Roxie Hart shoots her faithless lover, she deceives her dutiful husband, Amos, claiming burglary as the cause of the murder. Amos takes the bait, until the truth is revealed and he turns on Roxie. Imprisoned for her crime, Roxie meets the other “Merry Murderesses,” including Velma Kelly, convicted for killer her cheating husband and sister. Under the watchful eye of Matron Mama Morton, the women of the Cook County Jail learn that anything is possible with a little bit of reciprocity.

Desperate for not only fame, but acquittal as well; Roxie seeks the counsel of slick lawyer Billy Flynn, who coaches Roxie through the media circus of her trial. As Roxie’s fame grows, Velma begins to slip into obscurity. Velma approaches Roxie with a plan to help both grow in their infamy, which Roxie turns down… Until another sordid crime of passion threatens to send her down the same path as Velma. Featuring musical theatre staples such as “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango,” “Roxie,” “Mister Cellophane,” and “Razzle Dazzle,” you won’t find a better story of the dangerous pursuit of fame, fortune, and acquittal than Chicago!

Chicago will be performed in the Premier Health Theatre at the Springboro Performing Arts Center.

Director Jenni Cypher, along with music director Judy Mansky and choreographer Kara Castle, has assembled an immensely talented cast to bring these larger-than-life characters, songs, and dances to the stage. Get your tickets today to experience “All That Jazz” at BoroTheatre.org!
