Auditions Announced for Dan in CHAPATTI at Troy Civic Theatre

TROY_logoDirector Marilyn Mays is seeking one male for the role of Dan in our upcoming production of CHAPATTI by Christian O’Reilly. Dan is in his 60’s, and will require an Irish accent. Auditions will be held on Monday, August 27th, starting at 7:00 pm at Troy Civic Theatre (Troy City Park – Adams Street, Across From Hobart Arena). Please note that the role of Betty has already been cast.

Performances for CHAPATTI are November 2-4, 9-11, at 8:00 pm Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:00 pm on Sundays. The rehearsal schedule will be set based on the cast availability.

Romance is a distant memory for two lonely animal-lovers living in Dublin. When forlorn Dan and his dog Chapatti cross paths with the amiable Betty and her nineteen cats, an unexpected spark begins a warm and gentle story about two people re-discovering the importance of human companionship.

Troy Civic Theatre presents MAKING GOD LAUGH by Sean Grennan

TROY_Make God Laugh logoTroy, Ohio – April 28, 2018: Troy Civic Theatre is excited to announce their upcoming production, MAKING GOD LAUGH.

Woody Allen once said: “If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans”. Sean Grennan’s heart-warming dramatic comedy MAKING GOD LAUGH follows Ruth, Bill, and their three grown children during various holidays over the course of 30 years. Beginning in 1980, Richard, Tom, and Maddie start making plans for their lives, never guessing where their paths will end.

Director Steve Dietrich, from Sidney, is assisted by stage manager Peg Dietrich. MAKING GOD LAUGH stars Dayton actors Alain Alejandro as Bill, Rachel Smith as Maddie, and Gage Emerson as Richard, Troy actor Beth Shrake as Ruth, and Tipp City actor Derek Dunavent as Tom.

MAKING GOD LAUGH is being presented with permission from Playscripts. Performances run May 4-6, 11-13, 2018 at the Barn in the Park on Adams Street in Troy, at 8 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 pm on Sundays. Tickets are $14 each, and are available by calling the theatre box office at 937-339-7700 or online at troycivictheatre.com.

Troy Civic Theatre is a non-profit community theatre located about 20 minutes north of Dayton. TCT has been honored with several Dayton-area and Ohio regional and state performance and technical awards over the years, and has continued to bring quality entertainment to Troy for more than 50 years. For more information, please contact the theatre at 937-339-7700 or visit their website at http://www.troycivictheatre.com.

Directed by Chuck Fox

When the Soady clan reunites for the opening day of deer season at the family’s Upper Peninsula camp, thirty-five-year-old Reuben Soady brings with him the infamous reputation of being the oldest Soady in the history of the Soadys never to bag a buck.
