Hudson Players Audition -- A Few Good Men
by Durbin, Mark H. via NEohioPAL 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Hudson Players Auditions for A FEW GOOD MEN Written by Aaron Sorkin Directed by Brian Westerley Audition Dates: September 10 & 11 - 7:00 p.m. Barlow Community Center 41 S. Oviatt St. Hudson, Ohio 44236 Performance Dates: November 3, 4, 10, 11, 12*, 17 & 18, 2017 (8:00 p.m. curtain/*2 p.m. matinee) The auditions will involve reading from the script. After a successful run as a stage play on Broadway, this intense drama made its way to the movie screen starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore. Two Marines are on trial for complicity in the death of a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. The Navy lawyer, a callow young man more interested in softball games than the case, expects a plea bargain and a cover up of what really happened. Prodded by a female member of his defense team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients and, in so doing, puts the military mentality and the Marine code of honor on trial. On the opposing side is Lt. Colonel Nathan Jessep, a harsh Marine with something to hide, who sees it as his duty to do whatever it takes to protect his men and his country, with a final courtroom collision not to be missed. "Enormously entertaining." - New York Daily News Characters: The roles listed below are from the script. Ages can vary depending and women may be considered for certain roles based on the author's permission. LANCE CPL. HAROLD W. DAWSON PFC LOUDEN DOWNEY LT. J.G. SAM WEINBERG LT. J.G. DANIEL A.
