> *THE STORY:*  As the great director of Michael Fryan’s *Noises Off*,
> Lloyd Dallas has said "it is all about doors and sardines and sardines and
> doors…”
>  Originally written in 1962, *Boeing Boeing* is a classic French farce,
> that had long runs in both London and New York and was gloriously revived
> on Broadway in 2008 where it won two Tony Awards including Best Revival of
> a play.
> It’s the 1960s, and swinging bachelor Bernard couldn't be happier: a flat
> in Paris and three gorgeous stewardesses all engaged to him without knowing
> about each other. But Bernard’s perfect life gets bumpy when his friend
> Robert comes to stay and a new and speedier Boeing jet throws off all of
> his careful planning. Soon all three stewardesses are in town
> simultaneously, timid Robert is forgetting which lies to tell to whom, and
> catastrophe looms.
> Each role features a great character and a wonderfully written
> role. Indeed, each of the female roles (three stewardesses and a
> housekeeper are nuanced and fully three dimensional). Really.
> *Auditions:**  *
> *Sunday, June 23, 2013  1:00pm till 2:30pm  *
> *Monday, June 24, 2012  7:00pm till 8:30pm*
> All auditions will be held at Lakeland Community College’s Performing
> Arts Center (PAC). *Sorry, no additional Equity contracts for this
> production*. No need to prepare a monologue.  I will have you read
> directly from the script.  Additional auditions and callbacks only as
> necessary; *ALL ROLES ARE COMPENSATED*.
>
> *Production and Rehearsal dates:*
> *Boeing Boeing* *will open on Friday, September 20 and run through
> October 6, 2013--Friday through Sunday. Of course you will be compensated
> for all performances. **Rehearsals will begin sometime in early to
> mid August. Don't worry, we will work around vacation schedules. In
> regards to rehearsals, you will not be called for rehearsal unless needed
> as this play is easily broken down into two-character scenes. *
>
> *EACH CHARACTER IS WONDERFUL AND COMPELLINGLY DRAWN. SURELY EACH OF THESE
> ROLES WILL BE CHALLENGING AND FUN TO PLAY. A VERY THEATRICAL PIECE.   *
>
> *The Roles:*
> *Bernard**:*  This role will be played by *Jeffery Grover*. An American
> business man, between 45 to 50 years old, and who has never been married
> and is now enjoying his life in Paris.
> *Gloria**:*  The American fiancee. Does indeed have a New York accent. Is
> probably between the ages of 25 and 40 years. Take charge, health obsessed.
> *Robert**:*  Robert’s old American buddy from University who drops by
> from Wisconsin. Should be between the ages of 35 and 50 years old.
> *Berthe: *Bernard’s female Parisian housekeeper. She was played by
> Christine Baranski on Broadway and is by far the smartest person on stage.
> Between the ages of 35 and 60. Is on stage quite a bit.
> *Gabriella:* The French or Italian fiancée (depending on which accent is
> better). Is probably between the ages of 25 and 40 years. She is
> sentimental and lusty.
>  *Gretchen:* The German fiancee. Is probably between the ages of 25 and
> 40 years of age.  Dominating but thin-skinned.
>  The aforementioned roles are great and demand great actors!

> *''This latest edition of a play named for an aircraft soars right out of
> its time zone and into some unpolluted stratosphere of classic physical
> comedy. Propelled by the same gutsy spirit that animated Commedia dell'Arte
> and the silent films of Keaton, Chaplin and Lloyd, {this} may be earthy,
> but it's seldom earthbound.”  *
