Audition for Anyone Can Whistle (MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY)
by Bailey Pfohl 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Audition for Anyone Can Whistle at Near West Theatre Winter Youth Show: Cast ages 9-15 AUDITIONS: November 19, 20, 21 (pick one day) SHOW RUN: February 15-24, 2019 Book by Arthur Laurents Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Orchestration by Don Walker Directed by Kelcie Nicole Dugger More information at http://www.nearwesttheatre.org/pages/audition or https://www.facebook.com/events/967398126781287/ TIME: 6:30 – 9:30 PM LOCATION: Near West Theatre, 6702 Detroit Ave, Cleveland OH 44102 ABOUT THE AUDITION: Near West Theatre holds group auditions in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. No preparation or preregistration is required. Actors of all experience levels are led through multiple improvisational exercises providing every participant equal opportunity to create through word, movement and song. Auditions focus on the creative process, not the product; on working as an ensemble, not solo. After this first level audition, callbacks will focus on individual roles/songs and working from the script. All individuals should come prepared wearing comfortable clothes to move in, and should arrive 15 minutes early to register. Auditions begin promptly at the designated time. Anyone arriving after the starting time will be asked to audition at the next scheduled time. ABOUT THE SHOW: Written by Stephen Sondheim, Anyone Can Whistle, is an absurdist social satire about insanity and conformity (among a dozen other things!). This legendary cult show is a wacky, intelligent, highly unconventional musical which tells the story of a corrupt mayoress who fakes a miracle to revitalize her bankrupt town and the ill-fated romance between the rational nurse and the easy-going doctor who is determined to enjoy the chaos that it brings. Anyone Can Whistle delivers a poignant message about the importance of the individual in a conformist society – but not before aiming its still-relevant barbs at government, religion, science and anything else that stands in its way! CASTING ALL ROLES: Fay Apple – Female The resilient, young nurse at The Cookie Jar. She falls in love with Hapgood. She is meticulous and practical, but provides a lot of fun throughout the show. Cora Hoover Hooper – Female The rich and greedy Mayor who is hated by her people. Controlling and desperate. J. Bowden Hapgood – Male The new doctor in town who falls for Fay. Hapgood is wild, whimsical, and charming. He is more than meets the eye. Comptroller Schub – Male The town's Comptroller and Cora's right-hand man. He is hotheaded and mean. Treasurer Cooley – Male A former Preacher and the town Treasurer who was tossed out to pasture. Schub's right hand man. Scuzzy, slimy. Chief Of Police Magruder – Male Serves as the Chief of Police and rounds out the trio of Cora's lackeys. He aims to please and gets excited when he does, but he is mostly a day late and a dollar short. Mrs. Schroeder – Female Baby Joan's tough mother. Dr. Detmold – Male The fussy doctor of The Cookie Jar. A very busy man and a bit of a snob. Ensemble Cookies, Deputies, Townspeople, Pilgrims, and more! Can't make it to these auditions?
