by Rachel Zake 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Hello!! Playmakers Youth Theatre in Beachwood is casting three parts in Noises Off. We are looking for actors in grades 8-12 to fill the roles. If interested, please email me to set up an appointment. Please see below for available roles. - Frederick (Freddie) Fellowes: Has a serious fear of violence and blood, both of which give him nosebleeds. Well-meaning, but lacks confidence and is rather dim-witted. - Belinda Blair: Cheerful and sensible, a reliable actress and the company's de facto peacemaker. Something of a gossip, and a bit two-faced. Has a rather protective attitude towards Freddie. - Poppy Norton-Taylor: Assistant Stage Manager and understudy to the female roles. Emotional, skittish and over-sensitive. Part of the Lloyd-Poppy-Brooke love triangle and, by act two, pregnant with Lloyd's baby. Thank you,Rachel Zake 216-831-0700 x1494rzake(a)mandeljcc.org
