[NEohioPAL] Workshop Players Auditions: The Cover of Life by R. T. Robinson

[Workshop Players]

Auditions for R. T. Robinson's  The Cover of Life auditions will be held at
the Workshop Players Theatre. Sunday, November 20 & Monday, November 21
from 7:00 - 9:00 pm.

Director Dave Cotton will cast six females and one male.


Females:
Tood - 19, pretty, genuine & determined
Sybil - 25, flashy & sophisticated
Weetsie - 20, plain and a little plump
Aunt Ola - mid 40’s, looks much older, a strong matriarch
Kate - mid-40’s, successful, NYC reporter
Addie Mae - 40+ local reporter/busy body


Male:
Tommy - 20, sailor, friendly, yet insecure.



*Actresses auditioning for Kate and Sybil should bring a prepared
dramatic monolog of 2 minutes or less.  Monologs must be memorized and
fully rehearsed.  We will also be doing cold readings from the script.*



Tood, Weetsie and Sybill are brides in rural Louisiana in 1943. Each
married a Cliffert brother. The men are off to war and a local news story
about these young wives keeping the home fires burning intrigues Henry
Luce. He decides that they belong on the cover of Life Magazine and assigns
Kate Miller to the story. She has been covering the war in Europe and,
though she views doing a "women's piece" as a career setback, she accepts
because it will be her first cover story.

Kate spends a week with the Cliffert women and her haughty urban attitude
gives way to sympathy as she begins to understand them while coming face to
face with her own powerlessness in a man's world. Filled with charm and
fun, *The Cover of Life* is a deeply affecting story about the struggle for
self worth.
