[NEohioPAL] AUDITIONS for World Premiere Comedy at Beck Center

[Scott Spence]

  Beck Center is thrilled to announce auditions for *WORLD CLASS
CARE*, a *world
premiere* comedy by Cleveland's very own Eric Coble, and directed by
Cleveland's very own Eric Schmiedl.

*WORLD CLASS CARE *tells the story, set only slightly in the future, where
two healthcare behemoths own every parcel of land in the City of Cleveland
except Mildred Grisbgy's humble abode.... and *each* are scrambling to
convince her to sell. Both a raucous comedy and a cautionary tale, Coble's
keen eye for the darkly funny shines through.

*Open Call *auditions will be By Appointment on both *Sunday, May 31st
*(starting
at 5PM) and *Monday, June 1st* (starting at 6PM.) Callbacks are currently
slated for Wednesday, June 3rd
in the evening. You may obtain your appointment by calling the Beck Patron
Services desk at *216-521-2540* during normal business hours.

There are no Equity contracts available for this production, but all actors
receive a stipend for their participation. All roles are paid.

Open Call appts will consist of reading from the script. Attempts will be
made to email sides to those with appointments, but sides will also be
available prior to the beginning of each open call.

*WORLD CLASS CARE* will open on October 2nd, 2026 and will close November
1st, 2026. Performance weekends consist of Fri/Sat evenings and Sunday
matinees. Rehearsals begin circa August 25th.
