by Christopher Bizub via NEohioPAL 17 Jul '17

17 Jul '17

Bay Village Community Theater is proud to announce… *AUDITIONS* for *"THE DINING ROOM" * by A.R. Gurney Directed by Chris Bizub *AUDITION DATES* Tuesday, July 18th 7:30pm-10pm *LOCATION* St. Barnabas Episcopal Church 468 Bradley Road Bay Village, Ohio 44140 Auditions will consist of readings from the script. *CALLBACKS* Wednesday, July 19th 7:30pm-10pm *SHOW DATES* September 22, 23, 29, 30 at 8pm and October 1 at 3pm *SYNOPSIS* The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for any and all special occasions. The action is comprised of a mosaic of interrelated scenes—some funny, some touching, some rueful—which, taken together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the upper-middle-class WASP. The actors change roles, personalities and ages with virtuoso skill as they portray a wide variety of characters, from little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids. Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events; a father lectures his son on grammar and politics; a boy returns from boarding school to discover his mother's infidelity; a senile grandmother doesn't recognize her own sons at Christmas dinner; a daughter, her marriage a shambles, pleads futilely to return home, etc. Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity. *AVAILABLE ROLES* *MEN:* Actor 1 – Male 40s-60s (Father, Michael, Brewster, Grandfather, Stuart, Gordon, David, Harvey, Host) Actor 2 – Male 20s-40s (Client, Howard, Pyschiatrist, Ted, Paul, Ben, Chris, Jim, Dick, Guest) Actor 3 – Male 20s-40s (Arthur, Boy, Architect, Billy, Nick, Fred, Tony, Standish, Guest) *WOMEN:* Actress 1 – Female 40s-60s (Agent, Mother, Carolyn, Sandra, Dora, Margery, Beth, Kate, Claire, Ruth) Actress 2 – Female 20s-40s (Annie, Grace, Peggy, Nancy, Sarah, Harriet, Emily, Annie, Guest) Actress 3 – Female 20s-40s (Sally, Girl, Ellie, Aggie, Winkie, Old Lady, Helen, Meg, Bertha, Guest) *IMPORTANT:* This show is a series a vignettes in which each actor plays several characters ranging in ages from 10 to 80s so be prepared to show off your acting range.

Auditions for ANNIE GET YOUR GUN at Silhouette Productions THIS WEEK
by Douglas Bailey via NEohioPAL 17 Jul '17

17 Jul '17

ANNIE GET YOUR GUN scored a bulls eye when it returned to Broadway in 1999, starring Bernadette Peters and sporting a revised libretto by Tony, Oscar and Emmy winner Peter Stone. As Newsday reported, Stone's revisions 'are sweetly ingenious, and the show is a dream.' Stone reshaped the 1946 book to create a Wild West show-within-a-show that frames the ageless 'Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better' love story of sharpshooters Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. Stone has added a secondary romance between the younger sister of Frank's bothersome assistant Dolly, and a boy who is (to Dolly's horror) part Native American. 'The book has been updated in ways that pass p.c. muster,' reported Time Magazine, 'without losing all the fun.' Joined to the new book, of course, is that amazing Irving Berlin score, featuring hit after hit after hit. 'Irving Berlin's greatest achievement in the theater,' wrote the New York Post, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN 'will always be a musical for the ages, one of the Broadway theater's enduring triumphs.' Produced by Charlotte Mirabile Directed by Douglas F. Bailey II Musical Direction by Elias Manos Choreography by Jen Justice WHEN: July 19th and 20th from 7-9:30 PM NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY PRODUCTION DATES 10/13- 10/22 WHERE: Shore Cultural Center Room 241 WHAT TO PREPARE: One 32 bar song in the style of Irving Berlin, and a joke or short comedic monologue.
