Auditions -- The Mousetrap June 16th and 17th at Geauga Lyric Theater Guild
by Geauga Lyric Theater Guild operations 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Audition NoticeTHE MOUSETRAP Sunday, June 16 at 2:00pm Monday, June 17 at 7:00pm Thrilling twists abound in Agatha Christie's classic mystery About the Show Directed by Art Suskin Written by Agatha Christie The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie is currently approaching its 28,000 consecutive performance in London’s West End where it opened 25th November 1952. A group of strangers stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm. One of them is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house. The suspicions in their minds nearly wreck their perfect marriage. Arrivals include a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. And then comes the unexpected guest—a strange little foreign man who claims his Rolls Royce overturned in a snowdrift. Into their midst add a policeman traveling on skis. He no sooner arrives than the jurist is killed. Could this be connected to the horrific murder that has dominated radio broadcasts all day? Two down, one to go. To discover the rationale of the murderer’s pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present, rattling one skeleton after another. Another famous Agatha Christie switch finish! Chalk up another superb intrigue for the foremost mystery writer of her time! The Mousetrap is produced by Special Arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. Audition Information Auditions will be held at The Geauga Lyric Arts Center, 106 Water St, Chardon, OH 44024 (across the street from the theater) For appointments, please contact Art Suskin at 816-210-6266 Appointment is necessary. Auditions will consist of readings from the script and/or your prepared dramatic piece. (A prepared dramatic piece of 1-2 minutes is preferred but not required.) Please be prepared to stay for a few hours. Callbacks (if necessary) are by invitation only on Wednesday, June 19 at 7:00pm. Please bring all your conflicts for June 22 and 23 and between Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, September 22. Include your conflicts for Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings and all weekday evenings. The Director advises that actors read the play before attending the auditions. Rehearsal & Performance Information One early Read-Through will be held on either Saturday, June 22 or on Sunday, June 23. Casting may not be finalized until AFTER that Read-through. The Rehearsal Process will continue with a Company Meeting and Second Read-through from 1:00-6:00pm on Saturday, August 24. Rehearsals start on Sunday, August 25: generally 5 per week: Mon-Thurs eve and Sun afternoons (with some Fridays and Saturdays due to the shorter rehearsal period). Performances: Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2pm, September 27-October 13. Roles Available The Geauga Lyric Theater Guild is casting 5 men and 3 women as described below. NOTE: Except for Mr. Paravicini, all the characters will have English accents. WOMEN: Mollie Ralston—Age 20s: Mollie is a tall, pretty young woman with an ingenuous air, a bit naïve, but eager to succeed. Mollie has inherited Monkswell Manor and, along with her possibly less enthusiastic husband, turned it into a boarding house. This is opening day for the business and she is excited and focused on getting this new adventure off to a solid start. Mrs. Boyle—Age Late 40s-60s: A large, imposing woman in a very bad temper, the second guest to arrive. Very demanding, she criticizes everything. In the day, she might have been played by Edith Evans, Dame Mae Witty or Marie Dressler. Miss Casewell—Age 30s: The fourth and last expected guest to arrive. A young woman of a manly type. Possibly gay. Remember this play premiered in 1952, a very different time. MEN: Giles Ralston—Age 20s: Giles is an attractive but rather arrogant young man, seemingly completely in love with Mollie. He is her partner in running Monkswell Manor as a boarding house. Christopher Wren—Age 20s: The first guest to arrive, Christopher is a rather wild-looking neurotic young man. His hair is long and untidy and he sports clothing that would be worn by a “Bohemian” artist, but seems more interested in cooking than art or architecture. He has a confiding, almost childish manner. Possibly gay. Remember this play premiered in 1952, a very different time. Major Metcalf—Age late 40s-60s: The third guest to arrive, he is a square-shouldered man, very military in manner and bearing. Mr. Paravicini—Age 50s-60s: The unexpected and fifth guest. Foreign (Italian accent) and dark and elderly with a rather flamboyant moustache, a slightly taller version of Hercule Poirot, which may give a wrong impression to the audience. He seems to be continental in style, kissing ladies hands and full of continental formality. Detective Sergeant Trotter—Age Late 20s-early 30s: The last character to arrive (on skis, no less). Looks too young to be a sergeant in the Berkshire Police. A cheerful, commonplace young man with a Cockney accent. He is investigating a possible connection between a famous child-abuse case, a recent murder, and the appearance of the name “Monkswell Manor” on a page of a notebook found at the murder scene. Questions?

Jessie's father is dead; her loveless marriage ended in divorce; her absent son is a petty thief and ne'er-do-well; her last job didn't work out and, in general, her life is stale and unprofitable. As the play begins Jessie asks for her father's service revolver and calmly announces that she intends to kill herself. At first her mother refuses to take her seriously, but as Jessie sets about tidying the house and making lists of things to be looked after, her sense of desperate helplessness begins to build. In the end, with the inexorability of genuine tragedy, she can only stand by, stunned and unbelieving, as Jessie quietly closes and locks her bedroom door and ends her profound unhappiness in one fatal, stunning and deeply disturbing moment—a moment never to be forgotten by those who have witnessed, and come to understand, her plight. -- *Nici Romo* Managing Artistic Director Dunamis Theatre -- *Nici Romo* Managing Artistic Director Dunamis Theatre

ACT does not offer union contracts and performers are volunteers. Please direct audition questions to the director at: kevinkelly5678(a)gmail.com How to Succeed - Character Breakdown J. PIERREPONT FINCH - Window cleaner. (Male - Age 20-35, tenor) Finch is young and driven to succeed in the business world. He exhibits a great amount of charm and pluck but is never completely trustworthy. He will vacillate between uncertainty and over-confidence. J.B. BIGGLEY - President of the Worldwide Wicket Company. (Male - Age 45-60, baritone) Biggley is a self-important blowhard. He is the head of the company and makes sure everyone knows it. However, he is completely brought to his knees by the women in his life. BUD FRUMP - Biggley's nephew. (Male - Age 20-40, tenor) Frump is a lazy weasel who expects to succeed in the company through nepotism. He appears to have everything put together, but the people who know him, know the truth. ROSEMARY PILKINGTON - Office Secretary (Female - Age 20-35, mezzo or alto) Rosemary is beautiful, loyal and long-suffering. She is in love with Finch and supports him in his climb to succeed in the company. She is spurned and ignored several times throughout the show and continues to return to Finch. HEDY LA RUE - The Other Woman (Female - Age 20-40, soprano or mezzo) Hedy is the sexy bombshell who is having an affair with Biggley. She is not bright but knows how to use her looks to succeed in the company. She later appears as the pirate mascot in the company "treasure hunt." SMITTY - Office Secretary (Female - Age 20-45, mezzo or alto) Smitty is friend and confidant of Rosemary. She is less idealistic than Rosemary and encourages her in her efforts to snag Finch. MISS JONES - Mr. Biggsley's secretary (Female - Age 20-60, high belt) Miss Jones is the extremely gruff executive secretary to the head of the company. She is the one that keeps Biggley in line, and all of the employees try to stay out of her way. She breaks this mold late in the show with an upbeat solo. This character must be a belter. BERT BRATT - Personnel Manager (Male - Age 20-60, baritone) Harried executive that does a quality job. Bratt is central to the hirings and firings that move the plot along and is one of the only executives who seems to do his job. MR TWIMBLE - Head of the Mail Room (Male - Age 30-60, baritone) Hardworking low-level executive who has been beaten down by working in the mail room for too many years. He is a genuinely likeable guy. WALLY WOMPER - Chairman of the Board (Male - Age 40-70, baritone) Womper is a grumpy looking man who is largely silent. When he does speak, he is revealed to be a gruff but charming man who is proud of his blue-collar background. MISS KRUMHOLTZ - Mr. Gatch's secretary (Female - Age 20-60, soprano, mezzo, or alto) Miss Krumholtz is the professional secretary that is completely loyal to the executive she is assigned to that day. MILT GATCH - Head of Plans and Systems (Male - Age 20-60, tenor, baritone, or bass) Gatch is a confident and handsome junior executive who is not immune to an attractive female. BENJAMIN BURTON DANIEL OVINGTON - New head of advertising (Male - Age 20-40, tenor, baritone, or bass) Ovington is the golden boy. Tall, handsome, athletic and smart. He is hired to head up the advertising department. MALE ENSEMBLE (Junior Executives) (ages 20-40) Various vocal ranges. Multiple speaking parts. FEMALE ENSEMBLE (Secretaries) (ages 20-40) Various vocal ranges. Multiple speaking parts.
