Mercury Summer Stock 2006 Auditions
BABES IN ARMS
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Lorenz Hart Book by Rodgers and Hart
Adapted by John Guare
Directed by Pierre-Jacques Brault
Rehearsals: May 22 through June 8: Monday through Friday 6:00-10:30,
Saturday afternoons 12:00-4:00

Recently presented for the first time in over sixty years by the esteemed
University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, the original BABES IN
ARMS was nothing less than a revelation. This quintessential 'Hey, kids, let's
put on a show!' musical boasts one of the greatest scores ever written. A
group of teenagers are left without adult supervision when their folks hit the
vaudeville summer circuit, and the local sheriff is determined to send the
loafers to a work farm. But the determined kids talk the sheriff into a
two-week reprieve, just enough time to produce their own show and prove their
mettle. The son of a wealthy Southerner agrees to bankroll the production but only
on the condition that the two black kids (roles created by the legendary
Nicholas Brothers) not appear in the show. The other kids are outraged, but of
course the show must go on and does, in a succession of comeuppance,
reconciliation and romance. The old-fashioned virtues of a 30's musical comedy are
peppered with sociopolitical issues which have remained resonant for more than
six decades, and which later became the hallmark of Rodgers' collaboration with
Hammerstein. But it's the sophisticated jocularity that make his musicals
with Hart utterly unique, propelling these talented teens in their onward march
toward self-discovery.

SKELLIG
A new play with Music
By David Almond
What has Michael found in his run-down garage? What is the creature that
lies in the darkness, beneath spiders' webs and dead flies? Is it human, or a
strange new beast never seen before? And what will happen when Michael and Mina
carry it out into the light?
Seeking: 6 children ages 8 - 14 to portray the children in and around a
northern English neighborhood as well as the show narrators for a two-night
staged reading for possible future full-stage production. June 19th-20th, 2006.
For audition on April 17 or 18: please prepare a short contemporary
monologue and a short song acapella. Sides will be provided at the audition if
needed.
