Auditions at Western Reserve Playhouse for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" by Edward Albee have been announced

Western Reserve Playhouse Announces Auditions for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” by Edward Albee Show Dates May 31-June 15, 2019 SYNOPSIS: George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn't care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfired between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha's inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives. Audition Dates: March 3, 2019 -7:30PM-9PM March 4, 2019 - 6:30PM-8PM Callbacks if needed March 4, 2019 8PM Location: 3326 Everett Road, Bath, Ohio 44286 PLEASE SIGN UP AT: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508054EADA92AA5F85-whos Directed By Kelly Strand Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness—or genius—will she inherit?

Directed by: Olivia King Auditions will be held on Monday, February 25th and Wednesday, February 27th from 7-9pm TO SIGN UP FOR AUDITIONS - https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0c4bafa82ca3fe3-proof <https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0c4bafa82ca3fe3-proof> Callbacks (if needed) will be Thursday, February 28th from 7-9pm.

Claire (30s) - Catherine's older sister, a practical and business-minded woman who has been comfortably successful in her work and relationships. She left Robert and Catherine behind, distancing herself from the run-down family home of her youth. She left the family to make a new life for herself in New York City.

Harold (Hal) Dobbs (20s-30s) - One of Robert's last Ph.D. students during the one year his idol and mentor's illness went into remission, at least enabling Robert to teach, if not continue his own creative mathematical work.

Dirigida por / Directed by Ernesto Luna Camargo. A CPT / Teatro Público de Cleveland Production. EN ESPAÑOL / Performed in Spanish with English subtitles. FEBRERO / FEBRUARY 14 – MARZO / MARCH 2 In this heartwarming and hilarious comedy, María Elena Garcia is excited to connect with her homeland and visit her extended family in Puerto Rico for the first time. María has grown up with an intense love for the island and even majored in Puerto Rican studies in college. Upon her arrival, and much to her surprise, María isn’t exactly welcomed with open arms. Many consider her an American—a gringa. If she’s a Puerto Rican in the United States and an American in Puerto Rico, is she a somebody anywhere? On her journey to fit in, María muddles through misperceptions and misadventures while searching for what we all seek: belonging. La Gringa (Spanish) will be performed in Spanish, with English subtitles. En esta conmovedora y divertida comedia, María Elena García está emocionada de conectar con su terruño y de visitar al resto de su familia en Puerto Rico por primera vez. María ha crecido con un intenso amor por la isla e incluso se especializó en estudios puertorriqueños en la universidad. A su llegada, y para su sorpresa, María no es exactamente bienvenida con los brazos abiertos. Muchos la consideran norteamericana – una gringa.
