<p><strong>Auditions at 7 PM on Sunday August 14 and Monday August
15, 2016</strong></p>
<p><strong>by EDWARD ALBEE</strong></p>
<p>SHOW DATES:<br>

<p>DIRECTOR: Claudia Lillibridge</p>
<p>George and Martha are a middle aged married couple, whose
charged relationship is defined by vitriolic verbal battles,
which underlies what seems like an emotional dependence upon
each other. This verbal abuse is fueled by an excessive
consumption of alcohol. George being an associate History
professor in a New Carthage university where Martha's father is
the President adds an extra dimension to their relationship.
Late one Saturday evening after a faculty mixer, Martha invites
Nick and Honey, an ambitious young Biology professor new to the
university and his mousy wife, over for a nightcap. As the
evening progresses, Nick and Honey, plied with more alcohol, get
caught up in George and Martha's games of needing to hurt each
other and everyone around them. The ultimate abuse comes in the
form of talk of George and Martha's unseen sixteen year old son,
whose birthday is the following day.</p>
<p>ALL ROLES AVAILABLE! Ages flexible. Come prepared to read from
the script.</p>
<p> Martha (Lead): Female - older<br>
married to George, though disappointed - and now embittered -
with his aborted academic career, a daddy's girl with an acid
tongue and a quick & sometimes malicious mind, has suffered
great emotional trauma.</p>
<p>George (Lead): Male - older<br>
a member of the history department at New Carthage University,
married to Martha in a once loving relationship now frequented
by acrimony, a brilliant mind who feels disempowered, and lashes
out through sarcasm.</p>
<p>Nick (Supporting): Male - younger<br>
Midwestern, good-looking, clean-cut, married to Honey, has just
become a new member of the biology faculty at New Carthage
University and is looking to climb up in the world, confident,
and focused on his future, science, and the American dream.</p>
<p>Honey (Supporting): Female - younger<br>
petite, mousy, and anxious wife of Nick, has a weak stomach and
prefers to avoid issues than dwell in their complexities.</p>

Synopsis: Hollywood, 1939, and mogul David O. Selznick has just
shut down production on the most eagerly anticipated movie in
history, Gone With The Wind, scrapping the script and sacking
the director. Hollywood is a buzz. Determined to produce a
rewrite in five days, he engages the reluctant services of ace
script doctor Ben Hecht - possibly the only person in America
who has not read the novel - and the movie’s newdirector Victor
Fleming, straight from the set of The Wizard Of Oz after
squabbling with the Munchkins and coming to blows with Judy
Garland.<br>
<br>
Roles: 3 males, 1 female<br>
<br>
All roles involve frenetic physical activity and crisp diction
for rapid line delivery.<br>
<br>
David O. Selznick (ages 32-42) Fanatically driven producer, son
in law of the producer Louis B Mayer, the movies were in his
blood. The son of a movie distributor who became bankrupt in the
1920s, Selznick rose to the top of the Hollywood tree working at
RKO, Paramount and MGM before starting his own Selznick
International Pictures. He was notorious for his frantic,
Benzedrine-fueled pace of work and the astonishing volume of
memos he produced on every aspect of the productions (seen by
some as meddling and by others as attention to detail). Must be
able to project a variety of voices while 'acting out' Gone with
the Wind for Hecht.<br>
<br>
Victor Fleming (ages 45-55) Started his working life as a motor
mechanic, but got a break in the film business as a camera
assistant, moving on to direct many action movies in the 1920s
and 30s. With a robust manner and love of outdoor sports Fleming
was known as a “man’s director”, but his two best known and most
successful directing credits were The Wizard Of Oz and Gone With
The Wind. Coincidentally, in both cases he was a substitute,
brought in to replace the original director in the early weeks
of shooting. Must be able to project a variety of voices while
'acting out' Gone with the Wind for Hecht.<br>
<br>
Ben Hecht (ages 40-50) A successful Chicago journalist, Hecht
became one of the most celebrated and prolific screenwriters in
the early days of film in Hollywood, as well as contributing
uncredited work as a “script doctor” on many more [including
Gone With The Wind]. As well as journalism and screenplays, he
wrote short stories, novels, plays [including The Front Page]
and later ghost wrote Marilyn Monroe’s autobiography. A lifelong
activist for Jewish causes, his active support of the Zionist
movement in Palestine led to a British boycott of his work in
the late 1940s and 1950s.<br>
<br>
Miss Poppenguhl (ages 26-36) Selznick’s exceptionally efficient
secretary. Usually tireless, by the end of the five days even
she is more than a little dazed. In reality, Selznick employed
two full time secretaries to keep up with his frantic pace of
dictation. The actress will need to portray the same physical
deterioration over the 5 days as the men and be able to
demonstrate physical comedy often with no lines as she works to
meet all of Selznick's demands.</p>
