[NEohioPAL] OPEN AUDITIONS March 2 & 3 — "Don’t Dress for Dinner" at CVLT (3m, 3w)

[Chagrin Valley Little Theatre]

    OPEN AUDITIONS March 2 & 3:
    Don’t Dress for Dinner

a comedy by Marc Camoletti
Adapted by Robin Hawdon

Bernard is planning a romantic weekend with his chic Parisian mistress 
in his charming converted French farmhouse, whilst his wife, Jacqueline, 
is away. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet 
delights, and has invited his best friend, Robert, along too to provide 
the alibi. It’s foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Well… suppose 
Robert turns up not realizing quite why he has been invited. Suppose 
Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers, and consequently determined 
that Jacqueline will NOT leave for the weekend. Suppose the cook has to 
pretend to be the mistress and the mistress can’t cook. Suppose 
everyone’s alibi gets confused with everyone else’s. An evening of 
hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck 
speed.
