*Betty’s Summer Vacation*
written by Christopher Durang
directed by Craig Snay

** Show dates: August 6-21

Be a part of the hysterical craziness!

When Betty arrives at the seashore looking forward to a relaxing stay,
things go from bad to worse as some uninvited housemates draw her into chaos
and insanity in this satire of modern American culture. A serial killer with
gay tendencies, a sex maniac who pounds beers, flaunts a photo album of
shots of his private areas and harasses every female to sleep with him, a
flasher, beheadings, castrations, a rape, an explosion-–and a strange group
of "viewers" in the ceiling providing a live laugh track--Betty finds it all
in her seaside retreat.

*ROLES:*

BETTY: a nice, fairly normal young woman, late 20’s. Sensible, does her best
to be reasonable.
TRUDY: friendly, chatty, needy, rather desperate underneath. Early to mid
20’s.
KEITH: sensitive, quiet, mysterious. Late 20’s. Finds it hard to be around
people. Seems sweet, seems weird.
BUCK: handsome, sexy lout-hunk. Looks like a guy from Baywatch. Sexist and
on the make at all times.
MRS. SIEZMAGRAFF: lively, vibrant woman, mid 40’s. Oblivious to anyone
else’s discomfort.
MR. VANISLAW: an insane derelict who exposes himself to women in bathrooms.
A little scary but mostly insane. Happy in his way.
A GROUP OF VOICES: Any age or gender. Looking for a variety of both. Will
appear on stage (or just off the front) for the entire show.

"The Oakland Center for the Arts has produced some of the best local theater
I've seen in years," said actor/director Michael Dempsey.  "It's
cutting-edge material, well-acted and  sharply directed by some very
talented people.  Their recent production of 'Dinner With Friends' surpassed
much of what I've seen Off-Broadway.  I've watched the actors have rewarding
experiences, and I encourage new ones to give the 'O" a try!"
