Auditions for local premiere: FREAKY FRIDAY; December 1
by Martin Friedman 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

*Lakeland Civic Theatre * * Additional Auditions: **SATURDAY, December 1* *1:00 to 3:00 pm* * For * *Freaky Friday* Book by *Bridget Carpenter* Music by *Tom Kitt* Lyrics by *Brian Yorkey* Directed by *Martin Friedman* Musical Direction by *Matthew Dolan* Sound Designed by *Eric Simna * Lighting Designed by *Marcus Dana* Costumes Designed by *Kelsey Tomlinson * *We are seeking men and women, boys and girls of various ages and ethnicities. * *The Play: **I saw this play at its initial tryout at the Signature Theatre in Washington DC (actually Shirlington, Va.) two years. I was bowled over by the changes to this already wonderful book (by Richard Rodgers’ daughter Mary Rodgers) and films. Instead of a slap-stick story about a mother and daughter exchanging minds and coming to grips with the change of bodies; the new musical instead takes on something more important; body shaming, the trials and tribulations of being a high school student and most importantly, love between parents and their children. I found the story down-right profound and the music wonderful.* *And perhaps most importantly, FREAKY FRIDAY is no longer a book and movie about a homogeneous family and the school they attend, but rather it is about the real world and it features a cast of true diversity. Based on the beloved 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers, FREAKY FRIDAY features a book by Bridget Carpenter, and music and lyrics by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey - the Pulitzer Prize-winning composers of Next to Normal and If/Then.* *Audition Information and Dates:* *Auditions will take place on Saturday, December 1, between 1:00pm and 3:00pm, in Room D1078 (the Music Room) in Building “D” on the campus of Lakeland Community College. This is the same building as the Performing Arts Center.* *This is an open audition. Please bring a 16 to 32 bar cut in the style of the show. The process is this: we will have you sing your song and then will give you a side from the play to read. I will try to expedite the auditions as quickly as humanly possible. All roles are paid except if you are under 18 years of age; sorry. No Equity Contracts. * *Production and Rehearsal Dates: Freaky Friday **will open on Friday, February 1 and run through Sunday, February 17, 2019. There will be nine (9) shows; that is THREE (3) weeks of performances. Rehearsals will begin in early December (with a few periodic rehearsals to teach the music.) We will begin rehearsals in earnest on January 3. Rehearsals will most probably run seven days a week with the Saturday and Sunday rehearsals during the day and the weekday rehearsals beginning at 7:00pm.* *THE ROLES.* *There will be doubling and tripling of characters. I plan to have a cast of 15 to 17. We are seeking versatile actors and actresses.* *The Family**: **Ellie Blake**: 16 years old; smart, funny, baggy, rumpled clothes and messy hair that hasn't seen a comb in a while.

Review: Cabaret @ Baldwin Wallace, through Nov. 18
by Laura Kennelly 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

BOTTOM LINE: This stunning* Cabaret* offers a powerful metaphor. Of what? You get to decide. And even if it doesn’t provoke deep thoughts (and I argue that it does) it’s an electric “don’t miss” show beautifully done. Life may indeed be a cabaret.
