AUDITIONS FOR: THE ORPHANS
by James Prideaux

Directed by Judy MacKeigan

Sunday, March 1st– starts at 3:00
Monday, March 2nd – starts at 7:00

If you love the Brewster sisters from Arsenic and Old Lace, you will also
love Lily and Catherine Spangler, who have lived in seclusion in their
hotel room for the past 25 years with their only visitor being their
lawyer, who delivers (in cash) the profits from the steel mill they
inherited from their father. Their hotel that was once a gem has become run
down and seedy. Their next door neighbor is a prostitute and the bell hops
lack decorum. The twist at the end will surprise and delight the audience.
It is a touching, warm-hearted and funny story of what happens when these
two eccentrics must finally face the outside world.

Auditions will be held at the theater, 44820 Middle Ridge Rd., Amherst.

Production dates are April 16 through May 3.

The director is looking to cast:

Lily Spangler: late 40s early 50s has a pessimistic, suspicious outlook on
life which hides a deep hurt and vulnerability

Catherine Spangler: mid to late 40s/ has retained a childlike wonder and
joy in life, is curious
and compassionate about the world and other people.

Lawrence Ervin: late 50s to late 60s, mild mannered and businesslike

Ronald Osborne (Herman) late 20s early 30s/ boyish and friendly, very
self-confident and self assured

Flourette Amour mid 20s mid 30s/ typical 30s style prostitute with heart of
gold, needs a brassy Brooklyn or a Betty Boop chorus girl accent

Mr. Franklin middle aged, subservient and meek
