[NEohioPAL] Actors Needed for RIO RITA - Canton Comic Opera Co.

[Canton Comic Opera Company]

The Canton Comic Opera Company is seeking Actors to fill the roles of General Esteban, Padrone, and Davalos for their upcoming production of RIO RITA. 
   
  RIO RITA is an 1927 romantic musical comedy with music by Harry Tierney and libretto by Joseph McCarthy, Guy Bolton & Fred Thompson in which high romance and outrageous comedy collide. It is the story of Rita, a Mexican beauty, who is courted by two suitors: a powerful but sinister general, and a mysterious Texas Ranger in search of a crafty bandit, The Kinkajou. Amid the story of betrayal and romance, the wild antics of Chick Bean and Ed Lovett bring incredible hilarity as Chick tries to conceal from his new wife the embarrassing--and dangerous--fact that he is actually still married to his old one! Tense drama and endless laughs abound; but who is the real Kinkajou...? 
   
  The Canton Comic Opera Company’s production of RIO RITA will be directed by Joseph N. Rubin and presented on July 19 & 20, 2008 at the Canton Jewish Community Center Auditorium. 
   
  The Canton Comic Opera Company is a non-profit theatre company, based in Canton, Ohio, dedicated to the preservation and performance of American operettas. The Canton Comic Opera Company is an all volunteer organization, however honorariums for travel expenses are available for cast members.

  CASTING BREAKDOWNS: 
   
  GENERAL ESTEBAN is a ruthlessly powerful man who is used to getting what he wants. He has set his eye on Rita, and will stop at nothing to make her his wife. But Esteban's forcefulness is often humorous, and though he is a formidable villain, he occasionally winds up delivering some of the show's choicest comedy. Acting role, No singing or dancing required.
   
  PADRONE is the inkeeper in San Lucar.  He provides comic relief and is a great opportunity for a character actor who doesn't want to learn too many lines.  Padrone appears only in the first act.  Acting role, No singing or dancing required.
   
  DAVALOS is a bandit who works in cooperation with General Esteban to steal money from local banks.  Acting role, No singing or dancing required.
