FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Auditions for Rabbit Run Theater’s 2016 Summer
Season

 

Audition appointments are now being taken for the 2016 summer season at
Rabbit Run Theater in Madison, Ohio. 

 

The productions for the summer are “You Can’t Take It with You”, “Thoroughly
Modern Millie”, “Carousel, a Concert” and “The Complete Works of William
Shakespeare (Abridged)”.


Auditions run three weekends, Mar. 5 and 6 for “You Can’t Take It with You”,
Mar. 12 and 13 for “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare”  and Mar. 19
and 20 for the musicals, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “Carousel, a
Concert”.

 

“You Can’t Take It with You” is a comedy by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman.
Show dates are June 3 through June 18.  The Sycamore family live moment by
moment for the sheer joy of living.  A little quirky and off the wall, they
meet the world head on, eyes unflinching.  The apple cart is upset when
granddaughter Alice falls for Tony Kirby, son of Anthony P. Kirby, one of
the country’s most wealthy and powerful men.  

 

Multiple roles are available for men and women, ages 18 to 75.  The show is
directed by Ann Hedger.

 

Auditions are Saturday, Mar. 5, and Sunday, Mar. 6, 1 to 4 p.m. both days.
Auditions will consist of reading from the script.  Actors need not prepare
a monologue. 

 

“The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” written by Jess
Borgeson, Adam Long and Daniel Singer, runs from Aug. 12 through Aug. 28 .  

This fast-paced comedy performs excerpts from all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays
in 97 minutes.  It is London’s longest-running comedy having run for nine
years in London’s West End. 

Multiple roles are available for men and women, ages 16 and up.  The show is
directed by Mark Cipra.



Auditions are Saturday, Mar. 12, 3 to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Mar. 13, 2 to 5
p.m.  Actors will read from the script and do not need to prepare a
monologue. 

 

“Thoroughly Modern Millie” with lyrics by Dick Scanlan and music by Jeanine
Tesori, opens June 24 and runs through July 10.  Production dates for
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Carousel, a Concert” are July 22 through Aug. 6.


 

“Thoroughly Modern Millie” recounts the story of young Millie Dillmount as
she arrives in New York City with nothing but big dreams to find a wealthy
husband.  Set in the roaring twenties, the show is filled with flappers,
dashing leading men and a villainess people love to hate.

 

Billy Bigelow, the lead in “Carousel, a Concert”, is a carefree carnival
barker who captivates and marries naïve Julie Jordan.  Amidst hard luck and
rash decisions, life takes some hard turns for Billy until a second chance
makes all the difference.


Multiple roles are available for both musicals for men and women, ages 15
and up.  The director for both shows is Brint Learned.  Musical direction
for “Thoroughly Modern Millie” is provided by Danielle Jones, and musical
direction for “Carousel, a Concert” is provided by Alex Ulle.

 

Auditions for the musicals are Saturday, Mar. 19, from 3:00 to 5:30 p.m. and
Sunday, Mar. 20, 1 to 5 p.m.
