AUDITIONS -- "Hellcab" @ Kathleen Howland
by Jared Sparks via NEohioPAL 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

HELLCAB is a seventy-minute collection of scenes from a day in the life of a Chicago cabbie. Beginning with a 6:30 a.m. trip by a born-again couple…the cabbie's long day's journey proceeds with fares from, among many others, a dangerous trio of druggies, a piggish mini-capitalist, a benumbed rape victim, an argumentative pair of fellow cabbies, a drunken woman on welfare, a smug lawyer, a randy couple on the way to a motel, and two boisterous New Yorkers out on the town. Alternately frightening, hilarious and poignant, these sharply etched blackouts and cameos…are capped by a stunning and very touching final scene. Directed by: Jared Sparks Stage Manager: EJ McKenna Set Design: EJ McKenna Costume Design: Erin Milano Location: Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre (Downtown Canton) Audition Dates: May 20th (2-4PM) and May 21st (2-4PM) Performance Dates: July 14, 15, 21, 22 (All shows at 8PM) ALL ROLES AVAILABLE!

Verbally Sassy & highly comedic.* About the Script: How far would YOU go to defend your family? Clay Stilts desires to fortify his house in preparation for both a new baby and the apocalypse he's convinced is just around the corner. His obsessions are sidetracked when a slowly escalating battle with a neighbor who refuses to curb his dog explodes in an impulsive act of violence. In one reckless moment, Clay's world spins out of control, becoming a microcosm for a global struggle against threats to our security, both real and imagined. *"Pelfrey is undeniably talented ... a gripping, funny play."* -Los Angeles Times *"Matt Pelfrey's galvanizing black comedy resembles those nightmares that nag at one's psyche the following day - too off-kilter to accept as reality, yet infused with imagery too haunting to dismiss ... Pelfrey's thought-provoking work is mesmeric from the first moment to the last."* -Backstage *"Pelfrey has a gift for oddball concepts and sardonic dialogue." -Variety * *"A brilliant little bulletin from the paranoia frontier."* -L A City Beat *Audition Details:* Show: Last of the Boys by Steven Dietz (Serio-Comedy) Director: Sean Derry Performance Dates: September 15th - September 30th (10 Performances) Rehearsal Dates: August 14th - September 14th (Sun., Mon.,Tues. & Thursdays) $$$$: AEA Special Appearance Contract Available / Non-AEA = $500 Stipend Already Cast Roles: Ben - Robert Branch Salyer - Rachel Lee Kolis Lorraine - Anne McEvoy Young Soldier - Nate Homolka *Needed Role: * *Jeeter - Male - 50's - White - Ben's friend & Salyer's boyfriend.* About the Script: Ben and Jeeter fought in Vietnam, and for thirty years they have remained united by a war that divided the nation. Joined by Jeeter's new girlfriend and her off-the-grid whiskey-drinking mother, these friends gather at Ben's remote trailer for one final hurrah at the turn of the New Millennium. As the night deepens, the past makes a return appearance, and its many ghosts come flickering to life. This is a fierce, funny, haunting play about a friendship that ends and a war that does not. *"Last of the Boys is to the Vietnam war what Angels In America **was to the AIDS crisis."* *—Talkin' Broadway*. *"Dietz has conjured the 1960s and the war in Vietnam better than any playwright has managed to date. Ghosts appear and disappear in this play…and these ghosts are in many ways permanent residents in the bodies and psyches of those who fought in the war, as well as those who became its indirect casualties. Their presence creates a restless, burning, grief-stricken quality—but it doesn't prevent the eruption of great bursts of pitch black humor; comic explosions that detonate from time to time as if someone had just tripped over a forgotten hand grenade."* *—Chicago Sun-Times*. *"Last of the Boys is shattering, and its careful revelations and haunting imagery stick with you long after you leave the theater."* *—Windy City Times*. *"Steven Dietz's new play is passionate, funny, altogether a knockout. The indictment of the war in Vietnam is intense and deeply personal…but the play is not a soapbox rant. LAST OF THE BOYS is about the way the past creates the present and the present repeats the past. The final image of Ben ironing an American flag is wrenching. If only we could get the wrinkles out."* *—Philadelphia City Paper*.
