Red Hen Productions Announces Auditions For 
Cherchez Dave Robicheaux


Red Hen Productions, Cleveland?s feminist theatre, will host open auditions
 for the Cleveland premier of Cherchez Dave Robicheaux  by Michigan
 playwright Nancy Wright. 

Auditions will be held at Loganberry Books, 12633 Larchmere Blvd., one block
 north of Shaker Square, on Monday, January 14 at 7:30 p.m.,  and  Tuesday,
 January 15 at 7:30 p.m.   Modestly  paid positions for roles in this full
 production will require at least four weeks of rehearsal and four weekends
 of performance.  Directed by Denise Astorino. 

Seeking:  3 female and 2 male actors, ages 18-50+.  Open Casting.  Actors
 will read from the script and are invited, but not required, to perform a
 short monologue. 

Also needed:  Stage Manager and Light Designer. 

The Play:  A comedy about one?s Higher Power ? of fiction. 

Meet Nola Rhinderknecht, an agoraphobic Indiana housewife who may or may not
 abandon her champion-bowler husband Bob.  For five years Nola has rarely
 left their mobile home.  TV, the Book of the Month Club, and the Internet
 keep her connected, more or less.  Mostly, though, Nola seeks refuge in the
 novels of James Lee Burke, whose recovering-alcoholic Cajun detective Dave
 Robicheaux is her romantic hero.  She decides to find him in the flesh.
 (Never mind that he?s a literary character.)  On the road to New Iberia,
 Louisiana, Nola becomes the involuntary travel partner of another fugitive
 from reality.  Elizabeth Bye Harkness and her multiple personalities lead
 Nola into a Hoosier Wonderland where Fiction and Blind Faith confront Fear
 and Regret.  Guess who wins?  The outcome will amuse and move you. 

Performances will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m.
 March 1-23, 2001 at Spaces Art Gallery, 2220 Superior Viaduct, on the West
 bank of the Flats.
