Audition Sign Up, Go To: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4fafa629abfa7-theaddams <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.signupgenius.com%2Fgo%2F10…> *Seeking Roles* 6 Men, 4 women Principal Roles, and 8 - 10 chorus An original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents. *Characters* *GOMEZ ADDAMS* (40's to 50's; tenor - Bb to G#) Of Spanish descent who takes great pride in his family and revels in all it means to be an “Addams.” Smart, comedic actor short in stature but large in heart. *UNCLE FESTER* (30's to 40's; tenor - C# to C# preferably at belt) Androgynous family member who serves as the musical’s narrator. Larger than life, an energetic, joyous, child-like presence. Vaudeville style comedian, willing to shave his head. *PUGSLEY ADDAMS* (teens; tenor - Bb to F#) Charming, funny, pudgy boy who loves being tortured by his sister. He wants to ensure he won't lose his sister to her new boyfriend so he takes matters into his own hands. *LURCH* (unknown; bass - Eb to F) Tall, very tall. The Addams butler, knows all, speaks in moans and groans, but not a cartoon version of himself. Movement is slow, very slow. Character actor with large stage presence. *MAL BEINEKE* (40's to 50's; tenor - C# to Bb) Stuffy father of Lucas and exasperated husband to his rhyming wife, Alice. Everything Gomez is not. At one time was a follower of The Grateful Dead but has lost that side of himself. *LUCAS BEINEKE* (20's; tenor - C# to C#) The romantic, 'average' young man who has fallen in love with Wednesday Addams and plans to marry her. Caught in the middle of the two families. Pop voice. *MORTICIA ADDAMS* (40's to 50's; alto - G# to Bb) The real 'head' of the Addams family, as sexy as she is witty. Feels her husband is hiding something from her and will use any tactic to lure the secret out. Strong dancer. *WEDNESDAY ADDAMS* (20's; soprano - Bb to F) Sharp, witty, dry humored. When she finds love with a “normal” boy, Lucas her internal excitement is trying to bust through her cold emotionless exterior. *ALICE BEINEKE* (40's; soprano - G# to G#) Quirky, often speaks in rhyme. Picture perfect Mother to Lucas, stuck in a dull marriage with Mal until her wild side breaks free. *GRANDMA ADDAMS* (100+; belt - G# to F#) Feisty 102 year old that is fun and quirky, and has stopped caring what others think a long time ago. Strong comedic character actress. *THE ANCESTORS* (various genders and vocal ranges, ages 16 and up) Ensemble singer/dancers who serve as a Greek Chorus of sorts bring fun with a quirky sensibility. Each actor will create an Addams Family Ancestor character fill out the show and move the story forward. Examples of the Ancestor characters are Bride, Groom, Stewardess, Saloon Girl, Flapper, Pilgrim, Conquistador, Caveman, Cavewoman, Soldier, Sailor, etc. *for additional information, or if you have questions, please contact the director at andrewknode(a)gmail.com <andrewknode(a)gmail.com>*

Twin Masks Announces auditions for After-Play
by Claudia Lillibridge 05 Jul '18

05 Jul '18

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center announces auditions for After-Play, written by Anne Meara Directed by D. Keith Stiver Auditions will be held on Sunday, July 15, at 6 PM, and Tuesday, July 17, at 7 PM. Monologues are welcome, but not required. Readings will be done from the script. Perusal scripts (2) available at The Twinsburg Public Library - Reference Desk - you will need to leave your Driver’s License or some form of ID at the Reference Desk while you read play at the Library - Library is located at 10050 Ravenna Road, Twinsburg, OH 44087, tel. 330-425-4268; http://www.twinsburglibrary.org/ Auditions will be held at The First Congregational Church of Twinsburg 9050 Church Street Twinsburg, OH 44087 PLEASE PARK IN THE LOT BEHIND THE CHURCH AND ENTER THROUGH THE BACK DOOR - THERE WILL BE SIGNS DIRECTING YOU TO THE AUDITION SPACE All characters are in their very late 40s, or older. 4 men, 3 women. THE STORY: Set in the newest "in" Manhattan restaurant, the play opens with an ethereal waiter preparing for the arrival of a party of four. Just as the two couples are about to enter, it magically begins to snow making the night perfect for a cozy after-theater supper. The two middle-aged couples, Marty and Terry, and Renee and Phil, old friends reuniting after three years, have just seen a new Broadway play. Shedding the formality of the theater, the four friends settle into the comfort of the restaurant, order cocktails and begin to reacquaint themselves. The years and distance separating them have changed them more than they thought. Discussing the play and playing catch-up leads to little arguments and major differences of opinion. More drinks are ordered and apologies ease the way into dinner over which are discussed sex, the wearing of fur, matters of health and problems with their children. Time and distance aside, these couples know each other very well and will always be close friends. A third couple, Emily and Matt, acquaintances of Marty and Terry, stop by the table to say hello. After introductions, they are convinced to stay for a nightcap even though Emily has already had too much to drink. The nightcap sends her over the edge, and when the recent tragic death of her son is brought up, the uncomfortable situation is made worse. Emily makes a drunken, public spectacle of herself, forcing Matt to all but carry her out of the restaurant. The ugliness of the moment is not lost on Marty, Terry, Renee and Phil, all of whom are deeply affected. Having shared painful secrets and made new discoveries about one another, the four put their disagreements and arguments behind them and forge ahead in friendship until next time. Perhaps best known as half of the comedy team, Stiller and Meara, the highly respected actress Anne Meara's playwriting debut transferred from Manhattan Theatre Club to a successful Off-Broadway run. "…Meara…has written an astonishingly strong first play…Think Edward Albee and maybe Shecky Greene filtered through the sensibility of an observant woman on her way to psychological perfect pitch…No joke. Meara is a find." —NY Newsday. "…there is a solidity to Meara's writing that a lot of theatre writing lacks. That makes this an unusually entertaining evening." —NY Daily News.

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC) is a proud member of the Twinsburg Chamber of Commerce, Twinsburg Historical Society and the Ohio Community Theatre Association (OCTA).
