[NEohioPAL] Beck's GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS Auditions July 15 and 16!!!

[Scott Spence]

Lakewood's Beck Center will hold Open Call Auditions for
David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize winning
*GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS*
On *Monday July 15th* and *Tuesday July 16th* beginning at 5PM

Director William Roudebush (Beck Center's "*Equus*" and "*One*
*Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest*") is seeking six men to join
Broadway, Television and Film star Austin Pendleton
 www.imdb.com/name/nm0671721/  and
http://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/austin-pendleton-55862

for this sensational drama.

Pendleton plays Shelly "The Machine" Levene. The rest of the
cast is as follows:

   - Richard "Ricky" Roma <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Roma>: The
   most successful salesman <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salesman> in the
   office. Although Roma seems to think of himself as a latter-day cowboy
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy> and regards his ability to make a
   sale as a sign of his virility <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virility>,
   he admits only to himself that it is all luck. He is ruthless, dishonest
   and immoral, but succeeds because he has a talent for figuring out a
   client's weaknesses and crafting a pitch that will exploit those
   weaknesses. He is a smooth talker and often speaks in grand, poetic
   soliloquies <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monologue>.
   - James Lingk: A timid, middle-aged man who becomes Roma's latest
   client. Lingk is easily manipulated and finds Roma highly charismatic. Upon
   consulting his wife, he becomes desperate to regain the money that Roma has
   closed on him.
   - John Williamson: The office manager
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_manager>. The salesmen need him
   because he hands out the sales leads but Williamson does not like how they
   treat him, especially Levene, who berates him for the unpromising leads
   Levene always seems to get.
   - George Aaronow: An aging salesman with low self-esteem who, lacking
   hope and confidence, is not without conscience. His frustration begins to
   boil up when the office is robbed, and he worries about being convicted
   based upon Detective Baylen's interrogation. Ironically, he and Roma end up
   the remaining two salesmen for the firm after Shelley is found out, and
   gives up Moss as his co-conspirator.
   - Dave Moss: A big-mouthed salesman with big dreams and schemes. Moss
   resents Williamson and agency owners Mitch and Murray for putting such
   pressure on him and plans to strike back at them by stealing all their best
   sales leads and selling them to a competitor. Moss sees Aaronow as a
   potential accomplice, but eventually convinces Levene to work with him in
   selling the leads to Jerry Graff, a local competitor. During his final rant
   against Roma, his indignation reveals that his jealousy extends towards
   even his fellow salesmen, and he decides to go to Wisconsin to avoid
   further questioning.
   - Baylen: A police detective
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_detective>. He appears in the
   final act <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_(theater)> to investigate
   the office break-in and interrogate
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrogation> each cast member behind
   closed doors.
