SSP Seeks Actor for KING O’ THE MOON

Sunset Players are in search of another cast member for their upcoming produciotn of King O’ the Moon by Tom Dudzick. We need a male who looks to be in his 20’s or so.

If you are interested, please contact Mike Burke at 513-921-1460 or mwb_45238@yahoo.com.

Details below:
Revisit the Pazinski family in this hilarious, heartfelt sequel to “Over the Tavern.” Set in the rebellious 1960s, Rudy, all grown up in his 20’s, is a seminary student who is rethinking his father’s deathbed wish for him to become a priest. Eddie, on the verge of fatherhood, is about ship out for Vietnam. Their sweet sister Annie is contemplating divorce and Ellen, their widowed mother, sees a new romance blossoming. And, as always, their mentally retarded brother, Georgie enjoys it all.

Join the family as they gather to honor their late father’s memory and quickly become entangled in each other’s lives. As with “Tavern”, there is never a dull moment in “King O’ the Moon” as the Pazinski household hurtles towards the next decade.

Praise for King O’ the Moon:

“Dudzick is well on his way to becoming the Neil Simon of the Catholic, Polish-American working class” ALICE T. CARTER, INTHEATER MAGAZINE

“This is a “Moon” that winces with pain and winks with joy. In its easy accessibility, this is a play that sometimes feels like an all-American musical comedy without the music.” HEDY WEISS, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

Show dates: October 12, 13, 19, 20, 21, 25,26, 27, 2012.
