Auditions Announced for SILENCE THE MUSICAL at Falcon Theatre

FT_logoFalcon Theatre announces open auditions for SILENCE! The Musical
Directed By Ted Weil, Music Directed by Sherry McCamley

Tuesday, June 23 & Wednesday, June 24
7:00-9:00 PM

  • Bring 16 bars of a song (along with sheet music for the accompanist) and be prepared to read from the script.
  • No appointment needed.

SILENCE! The Musical is a spoof of the film The Silence Of The Lambs and, as such, is performed with a comedic leaning toward the actors in the original film.  We aren’t looking for faithful imitations, but the production will strive to highlight certain characteristics that defined the roles.

  • Recommended Cast Requirements (these are suggestions only…actual casting may vary):
    Clarice Starling 25-35, Caucasian female. She is a mix of tough and sexy. West Virginian accent. Belt/mix to C (optional to E-flat). Alto/Mezzo-soprano.
  • Dr. Hannibal Lecter 40s-50s, Caucasian male. An intelligent, psychiatrist with a taste for all things of class and high society, not to mention all things human. Tenor/Baritenor, to A-flat with a strong lower register. Think Evil Gilbert & Sullivan.
  • Buffalo Bill 30s to early 40s, Caucasian male. Must be an extremely strong comedic actor who can do a Mid-Western accent. Baritone to G (opt. to A) with a strong lower register.
  • Catherine/Senator Martin/Lamb 20s-30s, Caucasian female. Strong comedic actress. Larger physical build a plus, but not necessary. High belter with strong soprano to A/B.
  • Crawford/Papa Starling/Lamb 40-50, Caucasian male. Head of FBI. Baritone/Bass to E- flat.
  • Dr. Chilton/Cop/Lamb 30s-50s. Male, any ethnicity, to play the smarmy Dr. Chilton and multiple roles. Baritone to E-flat, with strong upper register.
  • Ardelia/Lamb 20s-40s, African-American female, to play multiple roles. Mezzo- soprano/Alto.
  • Pembry/Lamb 20s-40s. Male, any ethnicity, to play multiple roles. Tenor to A.

Production Dates:  Sept 25-Oct 10, 2015

Actress Needed for IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? by GoodPeople Theatre Co.

Hello there!

My name is Mollie Jeanette Amburgey and I am the Artistic Director for MISC_Casting call

I was told by one of my cast members (Nathan Henegar, for any who may know him) to put an audition/job notice for the show I am bringing to Cincinnati this summer called IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?, which is a series of vignettes that my business partner Will Bonfiglio and I wrote together. This would be the city premiere for the show, since the world premiere takes place in St. Louis at the beginning of June.

GoodPeople Theatre Co. was founded in St. Louis, Missouri, and we do 100% original theatre work. If you would like more information about our company, please visit either our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/heygoodpeopletheatre) or you may visit our website at heygoodpeopletheatre.wordpress.com. Each has viable information about our company.

I was already in Cincinnati last weekend and have cast three roles, but I am looking for a last woman to complete the team. Rehearsals would begin June 15th, and performances would be July 9th, 10th, and 11th at Simple Space in Over-The-Rhine. If interested, please send headshot and resume to heygoodpeopletheatre@gmail.com. Questions are always appreciated!

Thank you very much for reading and I appreciate your time.
