Hudson Players Announce Auditions for "Accomplice"  

Hudson's Community Theater To Hold Open Auditions This Weekend - September
14 & 15

 

The Hudson Players, will hold auditions this weekend for the twisty, sure to
fool and amuse mystery-comedy "ACCOMPLICE" by Rupert Holmes on September 14
& 15 at 7 p.m. at the Barlow Community Center at 41 S. Oviatt St in Hudson.
Roles are available for two men and two women with interested crew and
production team members also being sought. Auditions are open to all with no
restrictions but auditioners are requested to be 21 or over. Copies of the
audition scenes will be available ahead of time at the Hudson Library and
those auditioning will be asked to read from the script. English accents are
encouraged. More information is available at www.hudsonplayers.com
<http://www.hudsonplayers.com/>  or by calling 330-655-8522. 

 

Directed by Claudia Lillibridge, ACCOMPLICE will be presented as part on the
long running community theater troupe's 64th Season, November 7, 8, 14, 15,
21 & 22. Not recommended for children, this mystery of a mystery takes place
on a rainy night and features love, lust, jealousy, greed and revenge. As
one reviewer put it: "it has all the trappings of an old-fashioned murder
mystery written by, let's say, Agatha Christie, if Dame Agatha decided to
ingest a hallucinatory drug before sitting down to her trusty Royal
typewriter."  ACCOMPLICE will keep you guessing who is killing whom? For
whom? And who is whom anyway? This audacious twist on the twisted mystery
plot is a plot within a plot within a play within a plot.  Or is it a play
within a plot with a plot within a play.or is it.simply too much fun?
Theater goers are encouraged to just give up guessing and enjoy the wickedly
funny ride. In fact, we could tell you all about the plot twists and other
surprises that leave the audience gasping, but then we'd have to kill you.
Or would we? Maybe you would have to kill us. Or maybe we could, together,
kill someone else.and thus goes ACCOMPLICE.


Following ACCOMPLICE in the Hudson Players 2008-09 Season will be the back
to back, fun 50's musical journey that is THE TAFFETAS and THE CARDIGANS.
Sponsored by The Laurel Lake Foundation these great musicals will be
presented February 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 27 & 28. Written by Rick Lewis
these two popular shows are being assembled together as a single evening's
entertainment for the first time ever! Join Kaye, Peggy, Cheryl and Donna,
four singing sisters from Muncie, Indiana as they reminisce about making
their national television singing debut. THE TAFFETAS pay tribute to the
sounds of The McGuire Sisters, The Fontane Sisters and The Chordettes.
Opening Off-Broadway almost two years before "Forever Plaid," THE TAFFETAS
proves to be an irresistible evening and remind you what Sunday night
television was like in black and white! They then introduce THE CARDIGANS,
who hailed originally from Wooster, Ohio - the College of Wooster, to be
exact! Join the boys as they reminisce about their college days, their
ex-girlfriends, their childhoods as sons of Protestant ministers, and their
fame as singing idols. They'll sing some of the greatest hits of the 1950's
- songs you know and love and that they recorded on their first album,
"Wooster in my Heart."  THE CARDIGANS is music, fun and harmony. Winner of
the 1990 New York Bistro Award For Outstanding Musical Revue!


Finally, the Hudson Players will close their 2008-09 season with the classic
musical fable that is GUYS AND DOLLS. With performances being held April 24,
25, May 1, 2, 8, 8, 10, 15 & 16, many say that this show is the perfect
musical comedy.  Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, this oddball
romantic and comedic event soars with the spirit of Broadway as it
introduces us to a cast of vivid characters who have become legends in
musical theater history. Nathan, Sky, Adelaide, Sarah sing through such hits
as "Luck Be A Lady," "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat" and more. There is
plenty of excitement, but everything works out in the end, thanks to the
machinations of Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling's hilarious, fast-paced book and
Frank Loesser's bright, brassy, immortal score, which takes us from the
heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers
of New York City. Funny, fast paced and romantic, Guys And Dolls is ideal
for audiences of any age.
