[NEohioPAL] The Hudson Players to host AUDITIONS for UNNECESSARY FARCE

[Dana Herro via NEohioPAL]

The Hudson Players seek actors for it's Fall show, *Unnecessary Farce.
*Auditions
are at 7:00pm Sunday and Monday September 7 and 8 at the Barlow Community
Center - 41. S. Oviatt Street Hudson, OH.  Interested auditioners should
come prepared to read from the script.
Written by Paul Slade, this award winning contemporary American fast paced
farce is presented in the tradition of *Lend Me A Tenor* (but contemporary)
and*Noises Off* (but American). The action takes place in an economy motel
room, where an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female
accountant, while in the room next-door, two undercover cops wait to catch
the meeting on videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s occupying
which room, who’s being videotaped, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a
hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes. Throw in a
Scottish gangster with some bagpipes and some slamming doors and the comedy
is non-stop and not to be missed.

Character List:


   - Eric Sheridan: Male, 30s. A bookish, even-keeled police officer who's
   thrown into some difficult situations--while not wearing any pants.
   - Billie Dwyer: Female, 20s/30s. A police officer. Eric's partner.
   Although she seems to lack every skill needed for police work, she is
   enthusiastic and eager to succeed.
   - Karen Brown: Female, 30s. An accountant who usually has a very
   professional demeanor, but seems unable to keep herself in control today.
   - Mayor Meekly: Male, 50s to 70s. A sweet, gentle fellow, who seems very
   Innocent (with a capital I)
   - Agent Frank: Male, 20s to 50s. Town Hall head of Security. Although he
   can seem confident and even gruff, in moments of crisis he is easily
   reduced to a very frightened man
   - Todd: Male, 20s to 50s. Speaks with a pronounced Scottish accent. A
   professional hit man who's accent gets thicker the angrier he gets, until
   he's completely indecipherable.
   - Mary Meekly: Female, 50s to 70s. the Mayor's wife. Small statured, she
   seems very sweet natured, and a good match for her husband the mayor.
