[NEohioPAL] AUDITIONS: "Fat Pig" by Neil LaBute

[Braelin Andrzejewski]

The Western Reserve Playhouse is pleased to announce auditions for our
first special event of 2023.

 "Fat Pig" by Neil LaBute - Staged Reading

Directed by Dayshawnda Ash

Synopsis:

“Cow.” “Slob.” “Pig.” How many insults can you hear before you have to
stand up and defend the woman you love? Tom faces just that question when
he falls for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy woman who happens to be
plus-sized. LaBute’s sharply drawn play boldly questions our own ability to
change what we dislike about ourselves.

Auditions: December 15, 2022 @ 6-8PM & December 17, 2022 @ 5-9PM (Callbacks
immediately to follow as needed)

These roles are opened to all ethnicities and all gender identification.

Audition Materials:

Please prepare a 1-2 minute dramatic monologue (preferred)  and if need be
we will have sides available for a cold read.

ROLES:

Helen: 20’s or 35’s. Librarian. Plus size (curvy) attractive woman who has
come to a place of relative peace with her weight. She seeks in others the
honesty that she has had to cultivate in herself.

Tom: 20’s or 35’s. Professional. In every scene. Was disarmed by Helen’s
humor, honesty, and directness. Has dated Jeannie. Struggling with the
person he wants to be in a world that has informed the person he is. Model
type

Jeannie: 20’s or 40’s. Accountant. Probably judged by society as an
attractive woman. Her own assessment may not be so certain. Dated Tom.
Prone to bitterness. She is confused why Tom “dumped her”, a confusion that
is exacerbated when she discovers Helen. Model Type

Carter: 20’s or 35’’s. He considers his blunt, cruel language as honest and
direct. He says things that make you cringe. Confident and cocky. Carter
will come away as one of the most memorable and striking characters in the
play, though audiences may find it hard to applaud him at the curtain call.
Dad Type
