Grover’s Corners is not meant to be a perfect town -- it faces economic and social issues, and is populated by a number of less-than-exemplary characters -- but it is meant to be a microcosm that reveals deeper truths about humanity itself. Using minimal sets and props, and utilizing the “Stage Manager” as narrator who directly addresses the audience, Wilder used the inherent artificiality of the theatrical form to connect the audience more directly with the story. *Our Town*’s ultimate message -- to do our best to “realize life as [we] live it”-- was an important one as the world approached the terror of World War II. Our Town insisted that we focus on life’s little moments -- friendship, family, the blossoming of young love. It was a powerful message about stability in a world that was tipping wildly. Examining the small, everyday town of Grover’s Corners, and its quiet, ordinary residents, Wilder demonstrated a fervent belief in the joy of being alive.

Fences - Auditions
by Marc Howard via NEohioPAL 16 Jun '17

16 Jun '17

*Fences* By August Wilson Winner of the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Drama Winner of the 1987 Tony for Best Play Michael Oatman, Director Marc C. Howard, Producer AUDITIONS: 7 pm JULY 24 & 25 115 E. Pioneer Trail, Aurora, OH 44202 *What to Prepare* Please bring a resume and headshot, along with a 2-3-minute prepared dramatic monologue. Rehearsals Rehearsals will begin in November 27th. Please bring a list of your conflicts to auditions. Performances 8 pm FRI & SAT Jan 26 - Feb 17, 2018 Additional Information *CONTACT:* Director Michael Oatman at mikeoatman(a)hotmail.com *All roles are available* *Troy Maxson *- The protagonist of *Fences,* a fifty-three-year-old, African American man who works for the sanitation department, lifting garbage into trucks. Troy is also a former baseball star in the Negro Leagues. Troy's athletic ability diminished before the Major Leagues accepted blacks. Hard-working, strong and prone to telling compelling, fanciful stories and twisting the truth, Troy is the family breadwinner and plays the dominant role in his over thirty-year friendship with fellow sanitation worker, Jim Bono. Troy's character is the centerpiece that all of the other relationships in *Fences* gather around. Troy is husband to Rose, father to Lyons, Cory, and Raynell, and brother to Gabriel. Troy is a tragic-hero who has excessive pride for his breadwinning role. Troy's years of hard-work for only meager progress depress him. Troy often fails to provide the love and support that would mean the most to his loved ones. *Cory Maxson *- The teenage son of Troy and Rose Maxson. A senior in high school, Cory gets good grades and college recruiters are coming to see him play football. Cory is a respectful son, compassionate nephew to his disabled Uncle Gabriel, and generally, a giving and enthusiastic person. An ambitious young man who has the talent and determination to realize his dreams, Cory comes of age during the play when he challenges and confronts Troy and leaves home. Cory comes home from the Marines in the final scene of the play, attempting to defy Troy by refusing to go to his funeral, but Cory changes his mind after sharing memories of his father with Rose and Raynell. *Rose Maxson *- Troy's wife and mother of his second child, Cory. Rose is a forty-three-year-old African American housewife who volunteers at her church regularly and loves her family. Rose's request that Troy and Cory build a fence in their small, dirt backyard comes to represent her desire to keep her loved-ones close to her love. Unlike Troy, Rose is a realist, not a romantic longing for the by- gone days of yore. She has high hopes for her son, Cory and sides with him in his wish to play football. Rose's acceptance of Troy's illegitimate daughter, Raynell, as her own child, exemplifies her compassion. *Gabriel Maxson *- Troy's brother. Gabriel was a soldier in the Second World War, during which he received a head injury that required a metal plate to be surgically implanted into his head. Because of the physical damage and his service, Gabriel receives checks from the government that Troy used in part to buy the Maxson's home where the play takes place. Gabriel wanders around the Maxson family's neighborhood carrying a basket and singing. He often thinks he is not a person, but the angel Gabriel who opens the gates of heaven with his trumpet for Saint Peter on Judgment Day. Gabriel exudes a child-like exuberance and a need to please. *Jim Bono *- Troy's best friend of over thirty years. Jim Bono is usually called "Bono" or "Mr. Bono" by the characters in *Fences.* Bono and Troy met in jail, where Troy learned to play baseball. Troy is a role model to Bono. Bono is the only character in *Fences* who remembers, first-hand, Troy's glory days of hitting homeruns in the Negro Leagues. Less controversial than Troy, Bono admires Troy's leadership and responsibility at work. Bono spends every Friday after work drinking beers and telling stories with Troy in the Maxson family's backyard. He is married to a woman named Lucille, who is friends with Rose. Bono is a devoted husband and friend. Bono's concern for Troy's marriage takes precedent over his loyalty to their friendship. *Lyons Maxson *- Troy's son, fathered before Troy's time in jail with a woman Troy met before Troy became a baseball player and before he met Rose. Lyons is an ambitious and talented jazz musician. He grew up without Troy for much of his childhood because Troy was in prison. Lyons, like most musicians, has a hard time making a living. For income, Lyons mostly depends on his girlfriend, Bonnie whom we never see on stage. Lyons does not live with Troy, Rose and Cory, but comes by the Maxson house frequently on Troy's payday to ask for money. Lyons, like Rose, plays the numbers, or local lottery. Their activity in the numbers game represents Rose and Lyons' belief in gambling for a better future. Lyons' jazz playing appears to Troy as an unconventional and foolish occupation. Troy calls jazz, "Chinese music," because he perceives the music as foreign and impractical. Lyons' humanity and belief in himself garners respect from others. *Raynell Maxson *- Troy's illegitimate child, mothered by Alberta, his lover. August Wilson introduces Raynell to the play as an infant. Her innocent need for care and support convinces Rose to take Troy back into the house. Later, Raynell plants seeds in the once barren dirt yard. Raynell is the only Maxson child that will live with few scars from Troy and is emblematic of new hope for the future and the positive values parents and older generations pass on to their young.
