The Drama Workshop is a community theatre organization that performs at the Glenmore Playhouse Cheviot, OH.  These roles are not paid.

Synopsis:
Ten strangers, each harboring a dark secret, are lured to a secluded island mansion off the Devon coast by an anonymous host. Accused of past unpunished crimes, they begin to be killed one by one in accordance with a sinister nursery rhyme, as suspicion and paranoia rise.

Character List:

  • THE BUTLER – Thomas Rogers (m, 30’s).  Rogers and his wife have been hired as caretakers of the eight guests who will be arriving. Thomas, a butler, has been put in charge of the household, attending to everyone’s needs.  He is good at what he does but overwhelmed by lack of help.

  • THE COOK/HOUSEKEEPER – Ethel Rogers (f, 30’s).  While she is technically employed as a cook, like her husband, Ethel is expected to go beyond the scope of her position. Ethel is nervous and overwhelmed.

  • THE GENERAL – John Gordon MacKenzie (m, 60’s).  General MacKenzie is a war veteran and widower.  He is somber and resigned.

  • THE JUDGE – Sir Lawrence Wargrave (m, 60’s-70’s).  A retired criminal judge, Wargrave is a sober and rigid man of the law.  He maintains a cool head even when circumstances become increasingly tense.

  • THE PHYSICIAN – Dr. Edward Armstrong (m, 50’s-60’s). Dr. Armstrong is a highly successful nerve specialist who used to be a surgeon.  He was invited under the pretense of treating Mrs. Owen.  He is defensive and irritable.

  • THE PLAYBOY – Anthony James Marston (m, 20’s).  Handsome, youthful, from a wealthy family and oozing with entitlement and arrogance.

  • THE POLICE OFFICER – William Henry Blore (m, 50’s).  A former police officer, Blore is now a private detective.  He presents himself as wise and in charge after initially being “under cover”.

  • THE SECRETARY – Vera Claythorne (f, 25-35).  Vera, a former governess, was hired to serve as secretary to Mrs. Owen, wife of the mysterious host.  She is intelligent, poised and confident.

  • THE SPINSTER – Emily Brent (f, 50’s-60’s).  Emily, a spinster, is self-righteous, judgmental, and negative. Her rules for proper living allow for no exceptions.

  • THE SOLDIER – Captain Philip Lombard (m, late 30’s). Captain Lombard is confident and self-assured and more than proud of his military service in Africa. He looks out for number one but is attracted to Vera.

Production Dates: Performances run 3 weekends from July 24 – August 9, 2026. There are a total of 10 performances. Friday 7:30 pm, Saturday 7:30 pm, Sunday 2pm each weekend, with a Thursday 730pm performance during the final weekend.

SILENT SKY Runs Feb. 27-March 15

SILENT SKY
The Drama Workshop
Feb. 27-March 15
Glenmore Playhouse [Cheviot]

Directed by Becky Collins

The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.

  • Fri-Sat, Feb. 27-28 at 7:30pm
  • Sun, March 1 at 2pm
  • Fri-Sat, March 6-7 at 7:30pm

Auditions Announced for LIGHT UP THE SKY at The Drama Workshop

The Drama Workshop and directors Dane Rogers and Sarah Louise Rogers are pleased to announce the revised audition dates for LIGHT UP THE SKY by Moss Hart.

Audition Dates:

  • Friday Feb 13 7-10pm.
  • Sunday Feb 15  7-10pm.

The Glenmore Playhouse – 3716 Glenmore Ave, Cheviot, OH 45211.

Please enter through the side door on Gamble Ave.

Please sign up at this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A094FA8A622A6FC1-62201838-auditions

Performance Dates. Performances are May 1-17, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. There are 10 performances over 3 weekends, including a Thursday performance the final weekend.

Synopsis: Set in a Boston hotel suite, Light Up the Sky contrasts the glamorous onstage life with the neurotic offstage antics of creating a Broadway show. This classic American comedy features flamboyant theatrical characters stretched to the manic breaking point. No one is safe from Hart’s loving mockery.

Audition Requirements

Headshots and resumes are appreciated. Please also bring your conflicts from March through May 2026. Auditioners may be asked to read from the script.

Character Descriptions

  • Sidney Black — a flamboyant showman with no legitimate theater experience, who has sunk $300k into the play.
  • Irene Livingston — a famous actress, self-adoring with a haughty manner and explosive temper, the star of the new play.
  • Peter Sloan — a naive young playwright with a blue-collar background, who has idealistic notions. Hart’s memory of himself as a novice.
  • Carleton FitzGerald — the temperamental director, whose tag-line is “I could cry”.
  • Owen Turner — an older playwright, practical and calm, who has worked with the star and director before.
  • Stella Livingston — the star’s tough mother, a pessimist who plays endless games of gin rummy with Frances Black.
  • Frances Black — a former female athlete, a bit crass, now married to producer Sidney Black.
  • Miss Nan Lowell — a likeable author, ghost-writing the star’s memoir; the linchpin of the first act.
  • Tyler Rayburn — an out-of-place Ivy League-educated businessman, husband of the star, who treats him as a servant.
  • Sven — a masseur, employed by the star, seen and heard briefly in the first act.
  • Max, a Shriner — an unruly conventioneer, seen and heard briefly in the second act.
  • A Plain-Clothes Man — a detective, who returns Peter Sloan to the suite at Sidney Black’s behest during the third act.
  • William H. Gallegher — a Shriner from Elkhart, Indiana, a theatre lover, whose entry triggers the third-act climax.

Smaller roles might be combined to one actor.

If you have questions, please email directors at danerogers1@gmail.com and sarahhoback@gmail.com.
