Auditions Announced for THE LOST VIRGINITY TOUR at Tri-County Players

Tri-County Players is excited to announce auditions for the Regional Premier of THE LOST VIRGINITY TOUR by Cricket Daniel.

Directed by Judy Berrens

Show dates: August 15, 16, 17, 22 & 23
Auditions: June 8 & 10 at 6:30pm
Bell Tower Arts Pavilion
3270 Glendale Milford Rd
Evendale, OH 45241

Please contact the director, Judy Berrens with any questions at goddessofsplendor@yahoo.com

If available, please bring your resume and any conflicts for June-August.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

THE LOST VIRGINITY TOUR is about friendship, heartache, regrets and first loves.

Happy Trails Senior Resort Living in Surprise, AZ is where the ladies of the Happy Trails Baking Club meet weekly, swapping desserts and recipes. But when these four friends start swapping stories about their “first time”, one of them bakes up an idea- to take a road trip across the country, revisiting each location where they lost their virginities. Tears, laughter, memories and secrets are all revealed as each lady shares the details about their first time. Will revisiting the past alter their futures?

Four women, (stage age) 60’s and over, retired and living in Happy Trails Senior Resort Community in Surprise, Arizona.

VIOLA, Divorcee (several times over) A mouthy hard ass from New Jersey, she has a tough exterior, but cares for her friends deeply. Even when she gives them a hard time, it comes from a place of love.

KITTY, Single, a sweet Southern belle. A bit of a drama queen, especially if she feels wronged (as she frequently does), but loyal to a fault. Southern accent required

RITA, Married, a smart earthy type. The most grounded and practical of the group, she still has a sense of humor, even after 38 years of marriage.

ELAINE, Widow, the oldest of the group. Motherly and wise, she is often called on to be the peacemaker when the ladies have a disagreement.

  • Megan Jones – British Wednesday Adams type, keeps to herself and believes she is meant to be a Snake and not a Puff.
  • Narrator – Our guide throughout the story, British and has many heavy books.
  • Ernie Mac – A boaster and hype type.
  • Hannah – Shy Puff who gets made fun of by other houses.
  • J. Finch Fletchley – Puff who may or may not be imaginary and refers to themselves in the third person.
  • Leanne – Leanne is very spacey and occasionally wise Puff.
  • Sally Perks – One of the coolest Puffs who has many admirers but keeps losing her glasses.
  • Susie Bones – A Puff who lives in fear of death, due to the fact that her entire family died.
  • Cedric – Cedric is the coolest guy but not the brightest.
  • Mr. Voldy – He who must definitely not be named. Rotten to the core and a showman.
