*CHAGRIN VALLEY LITTLE THEATRE seeks two directors for 85th Season
Productions*
1. Seeking a director for our MAIN STAGE production of *A Talent for
Murder* by Jerome Chodorov, playing March 27 - April 18th, 2015. /
Main Stage production directors are paid a stipend./
* An internationally successful mystery novelist whose relatives
wouldn't mind killing her to get their hands on her art
collection. Other characters include a live in doctor who was
once the novelist's lover and a savvy Indian butler who uses
words like "chutzpa." The badinage between the novelist and the
butler and between the novelist and the doctor provides comic
delight and relief from the mayhem being planned by the family.
This exciting comic thriller was produced on BBC TV starring
Angela Lansbury and Sir Lawrence Olivier.
2. Seeking a director for our RIVER STREET PLAYHOUSE to direct a play
which will run October 17 - November 1, 2014. /
River Street Playhouse productions are 100% voluntary. The director
receives no compensation. /The selected director will choose one of
the following options:
* *END DAYS* by Deborah Zoe Laufer, 2 acts, setting: a family
kitchen/den; cast: Evangelicalmother convinced the rapture is at
hand, a depressed father who lounges about in pajamas he hasn't
changed in three years, a rebellious atheistic and somewhat
Gothic daughter, and her nerdy admirer who trails after her. Mom
is occasionally accompanied by Jesus and Stephen Hawking (seen
by the audience). The nerd introduces mother to Hawking; she
becomes enamored of his theories. Perhaps his astral musings
will save them all. Or will it be the rapture?
*or*
* *HOW THE WORLD BEGAN* by Catherine Trieschmann, one-act (54pp.),
setting: a makeshift school room in a trailer; 1M (60s), 1W
(30s-40s), 1 boy (16). This play won some acclaim off-Broadway
at The Women's Project. A pregnant woman from NYC travels to a
teaching job in rural Kansas after a tornado. A casual remark
regarding the origins of life strikes sparks in one boy who lost
his family in the storm and who now lives with another family
headed by a man who considers himself the boy's father and/or
guardian but is neither. Both man and traumatized boy demand an
apology of the teacher, who is not about to give it. A cross
dressed in a gorilla costume is burned in front of the teacher's
home. The town is up in arms about the whole affair. Tense
scenes overloaded with accusations and recriminations follow.
Strong stuff with an abrupt and fairly surprising end.
