WEATHERVANE PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR: "The Who's Tommy" Book by Des McAnuff and Pete Townshend Music and lyrics by Pete Townshend Additional music and lyrics by John Entwhistle and Keith Moon Directed by Fred Gloor Choreography by Josh Larkin Musical Direction by John Ebner AUDITION DATES Sunday, June 23, 2019 (from 6 to 9 p.m.) Monday, June 24, 2019 (from 6 to 9 p.m.) Auditions are scheduled in advance by appointment. Audition appointments are available each night in five-minute slots.

Based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album, "The Who's Tommy" is an exhilarating story of hope, healing and the human spirit. The story of the pinball-playing, deaf, dumb and blind boy who triumphs over his adversities has inspired, amazed and puzzled audiences for more than 40 years. This five-time Tony Award-winning musical was translated to the stage by the theatrical wizard, Des McAnuff, into a high-energy, one-of-a-kind theatrical event. After witnessing the accidental murder of his mother's lover by his father, Tommy is traumatized into catatonia and, as the boy grows, he suffers abuse at the hands of his sadistic relatives and neighbors. As an adolescent, he's discovered to have an uncanny knack for playing pinball and, when his mother finally breaks through his catatonia, he becomes an international pinball superstar. CASTING REQUIREMENTS We are seeking to cast a diverse cast of talented and committed performers ages 16 and older - except for two younger performers to portray Tommy at different ages (one as a 4- to 6-year-old and one slightly older as a 10- to 12-year-old). Parents are urged to familiarize themselves with the material in advance of the auditions. Here's a link to a copy of the script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jioeuh71r84i8iq/Tommy%2C%20LV.pdf?dl=0<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dropbox.com%2Fs%2Fjioeuh71…> A breakdown of the show's characters can be found on the auditions SignUp page.https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f054aaaa62aa2f49-thewhos<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.signupgenius.com%2Fgo%2F20…> WHAT TO PREPARE FOR THE AUDITION Please prepare 32 bars of music from a song in the style of the show - but NOT a song from the show.

We still need a few more Readers / Actors for a new adaptation of H. G. Wells' Island of Dr. Moreau - For 7:00pm Tuesday June 11th at Cleveland Public Theatre's DARK ROOM workshop at W. 64th and Detroit (the little church building) -Plus one rehearsal to be announced. SPECIFICALLY - We need a male & female ingenue, Lota & Edward Pendrake (the original "Edward Prendick" seeming a bit much) and some more extras for multiple roles. This version uses "Double Casting" with the staff and patients of the Mental Asylum where the survivor, Edward Pendrake is incarcerated - acting out the hero's story of horror. Everyone besides Pendrake plays at least two roles. We are only allowed to do 10 pages of the script - but these "character shifts" will be evident in this segment! No memorization is involved, but we will attempt limited movement, blocking, characterization and etc. Further segments will be done on subsequent Dark Room Tuesdays if you wish to continue participating. Contact Craig A. Webb at burningriver(a)msn.com<mailto:burningriver@msn.com> or 216-288-7151 Participants will receive $5 to donate to The Dark Room (or not) Free Beer and the opportunity to see and / or participate in other New Script presentations that night.
