[NEohioPAL] AUDITION NOTICE: Frankenstein 1930

Tue Jul 18 10:48:49 PDT 2017

East Cleveland Theater (ECT) is hosting auditions for “Frankenstein 1930”,
written by Fred Carmichael.  We are seeking 5 men and 2 women for this show.

*Synopsis:*

An adaptation of the classic novel by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.
Although this adaptation was published in 1996, the play is set in the
1930s.

*The Roles:*

*Daughter / Berta*: These are two separate roles.  The Daughter only
appears in Act 1, Scene 1 ... grieving over her misunderstood brother.
Berta is the housekeeper at the Frankenstein residence.  She appears in
numerous scenes in both Act I and Act II.

*Grave Digger 1 / Horst*: These are two separate roles.  The Grave Digger 1
only appears in Act 1, Scene 1 ... preparing a grave for a recently
deceased young man.  Horst appears multiple times in Act 2 and is a
villager.

*Grave Digger 2 / Second Man*: These are two separate roles.  The Grave
Digger 2 only appears in Act 1, Scene 1 ... preparing a grave for a
recently deceased young man.  Second Man appears multiple times in Act 2
and is a villager.

*Victor Frankenstein*: Victor is college educated, and while doing advanced
studies was mentored by Dr Hellstrom.  Victor was ultimately dismissed from
his college studies due to his abnormal practices.  He is in love with
Elizabeth, but his scientific endeavors are more important at this time in
the story.

*Gorgo / Korda*: These are two separate roles.  Gorgo has been shunned by
society, and is Victor Frankenstein's assistant.  Gorgo is anxious for
Victor's creation to live, as Gorgo is desperately looking for a friend.
Korda only appears in Act II, and is the father of a little girl, also
killed by the creature.

*Elizabeth*: Elizabeth is the ward of Victor Frankenstein's father and
aunt.  Elizabeth and Victor are engaged during this story.  She is looking
for a 'normal' life, and Victor is too engaged in his scientific tests to
accommodate such a request.

*Henry*: Henry grew up with Victor Frankenstein and Elizabeth, and all
continue to be good friends.  Although Victor and Elizabeth are engaged,
Henry has also always been in love with Elizabeth, but sensibilities being
what they are, would not pursue Elizabeth.  He is alarmed by Victor's need
to pursue his scientific endeavors.

*Director: Michael A Lenzo*

Michael is making quite a name for himself, starting off with "Dracula" in
2015, followed by "The Fall of the House of Usher" in 2016, which won
Broadway World's first place award in the category *Best Production of a
Comedy or Drama*.
