[NEohioPAL] Auditions for Rabbit Run Theater's and Lake Erie College's Studio Series

[RRCAA via NEohioPAL]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Rabbit Run Theater and Lake Erie College hold
auditions for first two shows of 2016-17 The Studio Series

 

As part of the 2016 - 2017 collaborative season, The Studio Series, Lake
Erie College Department of Theatre and Rabbit Run Theater announce open
auditions for the upcoming productions of "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and
Spike" and "Almost Maine". 

 

"Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" written by Christopher Durang is
directed by Ann Hedger, Programming Coordinator at The Fine Arts
Association.  "Almost Maine" by John Cariani is directed by Dr. Jerry C.
Jaffe, Associate Professor of Theatre, Lake Erie College.

 

Auditions are Monday, Aug. 15, and Tuesday, Aug. 16, at 6:30 p.m. both
nights at the Royce Hall for the Fine and Performing Arts on the campus of
Lake Erie College (off of Gillett St. in Painesville).   

 

Chekhov is alive and well in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in "Vanua and Sonia
and Masha and Spike".  Adult siblings Vanya and Sonia reside in their old
family home, mourning their lost dreams and missed opportunities. When their
often-wrong, fortune-telling maid warns of impending dangers, and their
movie star sister, Masha, arrives unexpectedly with young, sexy, boy toy,
Spike, the family is launched into a rollicking weekend of one-upmanship,
exposed nerves, and a lot of broken mugs. With wit and absurdity,
Christopher Durang's Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike blends Chekhov's
famous ennui with the modern-day toils and troubles of celebrity, social
networking, and age into a laugh-out-loud comedy.

On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite
what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern
lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost's residents find
themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious
ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the
hearts mend-almost-in this delightful midwinter night's dream.

 

Auditions will consist of readings from the script. No monologue need be
prepared.  

 

Performance dates are Oct. 13 through Oct. 23 for "Vanya and Sonia and Masha
and Spike" and Nov. 11 through Nov. 20 for "Almost Maine".  All performances
are at the C.K. Rickel Theatre in the Royce Hall for the Fine and Performing
Arts on the campus of Lake Erie College, 391 West Washington St.,
Painesville, OH.  Access to the theater is off of Gillette St. in
Painesville.

The Studio Series is made possible in part by funding through the National
Endowment for the Arts and the Ohio Arts Council.
