<div dir="ltr"><div>The Hudson Players seek actors for it's Fall show, <i>Unnecessary Farce. </i>Auditions
are at 7:00pm Sunday and Monday September 7 and 8 at the Barlow
Community Center - 41. S. Oviatt Street Hudson, OH. Interested
auditioners should come prepared to read from the script.<br>Written by Paul Slade, this award winning contemporary American fast paced farce is presented in the tradition of <i>Lend Me A Tenor</i> (but contemporary) and<i>Noises Off</i> (but
American). The action takes place in an economy motel room, where an
embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while
in the room next-door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on
videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s occupying which room,
who’s being videotaped, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man,
and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes. Throw in a Scottish
gangster with some bagpipes and some slamming doors and the comedy is
non-stop and not to be missed.<br><br></div>Character List:<br><font><br></font><h1 style="margin:12px 0px 9px 1px;padding:0px 0px 0px 8px;color:rgb(34,34,34);background-image:inherit;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);border-right:inherit">
