Auditions Announced for DRUNK: AS YOU LIKE IT at Xenia Area Community Theatre

An X*ACT First! Inspired by our friends at Dayton Drunk Theater we are looking for 8-16 actors of all types, at least 21 or older, that aren’t afraid to get a little wild for AS YOIU LIKE IT (as a drunk play).

Originally by William Shakespeare, but with a twist. While we do need actors that are willing to drink, we’re also interested in actors that will stay sober during the performances. What is absolutely mandatory for all roles: willing to improvise and go with the flow.

No one under 18 will be permitted to the performances during the show run.

(Also, a role you don’t have to memorize?? HECK YEA!)

A casting call/read through will be held August 18th, 2025 at 7PM. Be there!

CHURCH AND STATE Runs April 18-27

CHURCH AND STATE
Xenia Area Community Theatre
April 18-27
[Xenia]

Directed by Mike Taint

Cast: Steve Mongelli as Senator Charles Whitmore (R/NC), Amy Taint as Sara Whitmore, Jonah Reed as Alex Klein, Shawn Furl as Tom & Brandon Castillo as Marshall

Church & State is a fast-paced dramedy about faith, politics, and “The Twitter”. The play is about Charles Whitmore’s Senate re-election campaign, and how he decides to finally tell the public exactly what’s on his mind, no filter. As his devoutly Christian wife and liberal Jewish campaign manager try to contain the damage, the play looks at how religion influences politics and how politics has become a religion. The play is simultaneously funny, heartbreaking, and uplifting.

  • Fri-Sat, April 18-19 at 7pm
  • Sun, April 20 at 3pm
  • Fri-Sat, April 25-26 at 7pm
  • Sun, April 27 at 3pm
