Beck Center Announces GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS Auditions
by Scott Spence 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Lakewood's Beck Center will hold Open Call Auditions for David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize winning *GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS* On *Monday July 15th* and *Tuesday July 16th* beginning at 5PM Director William Roudebush (Beck Center's "*Equus*" and "*One* *Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest*") is seeking six men to join Broadway, Television and Film star Austin Pendleton www.imdb.com/name/nm0671721/ and http://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/austin-pendleton-55862 for this sensational drama. Pendleton plays Shelly "The Machine" Levene. The rest of the cast is as follows: - Richard "Ricky" Roma <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Roma>: The most successful salesman <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salesman> in the office. Although Roma seems to think of himself as a latter-day cowboy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy> and regards his ability to make a sale as a sign of his virility <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virility>, he admits only to himself that it is all luck. He is ruthless, dishonest and immoral, but succeeds because he has a talent for figuring out a client's weaknesses and crafting a pitch that will exploit those weaknesses. He is a smooth talker and often speaks in grand, poetic soliloquies <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monologue>. - James Lingk: A timid, middle-aged man who becomes Roma's latest client. Lingk is easily manipulated and finds Roma highly charismatic. Upon consulting his wife, he becomes desperate to regain the money that Roma has closed on him. - John Williamson: The office manager <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_manager>. The salesmen need him because he hands out the sales leads but Williamson does not like how they treat him, especially Levene, who berates him for the unpromising leads Levene always seems to get. - George Aaronow: An aging salesman with low self-esteem who, lacking hope and confidence, is not without conscience. His frustration begins to boil up when the office is robbed, and he worries about being convicted based upon Detective Baylen's interrogation. Ironically, he and Roma end up the remaining two salesmen for the firm after Shelley is found out, and gives up Moss as his co-conspirator. - Dave Moss: A big-mouthed salesman with big dreams and schemes. Moss resents Williamson and agency owners Mitch and Murray for putting such pressure on him and plans to strike back at them by stealing all their best sales leads and selling them to a competitor. Moss sees Aaronow as a potential accomplice, but eventually convinces Levene to work with him in selling the leads to Jerry Graff, a local competitor. During his final rant against Roma, his indignation reveals that his jealousy extends towards even his fellow salesmen, and he decides to go to Wisconsin to avoid further questioning. - Baylen: A police detective <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_detective>. He appears in the final act <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_(theater)> to investigate the office break-in and interrogate <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrogation> each cast member behind closed doors. All of these men are between 35 and 60. Auditioners will be seen individually and BY APPOINTMENT only. Please call 216-521-2540 x10 to sign up. Auditioning actors should ideally prepare a single monologue not to exceed 2 minutes in length. For anyone unable to prepare a memorized piece, there will be a few brief cuttings from the show available for cold readings. At least one AEA contract will be available, and possibly two. All non AEA actors are paid a stipend for their participation. EMC (Equity Members Candidacy) points ARE available with this production. *GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS* runs on Beck Center's Main Stage from Sept. 13th thru Oct. 6th, and plays Fri/Sat evenings at 8PM and Sundays at 3PM. There is an additional performance on Thursday, Oct. 3rd at 8PM. Rehearsals will begin in mid August. Call 216-521-2540 x10 for your appointment.

Auditions for Neil Simon's Rumors
by Tim Anderson 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Auditions for Neil Simon’s “Rumors” The Broadview Heights Spotlights Theater will hold auditions for Neil Simon’s comedic farce, Rumors, on Sunday, June 30 and Monday, July 1 from 7:00 – 9:00PM. This farce takes place in a large New York City townhouse where the Deputy Mayor has just shot himself on the evening of his tenth wedding anniversary party. The victim’s wife is nowhere in sight, and his lawyer tries to convince his own wife to get "the story" straight before the other guests arrive. Confusions and mis-communications mount as the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. The show will be directed by Dan Sekanic and will run August 23 – September 7. Rehearsals will begin in mid-July. Auditioners are asked to bring a list of conflicts from July 7 to September 7. Auditions will consist of readings from the script. Rumors contains mature language and content with which those auditioning should be familiar and comfortable. Further information, including a character break down can be found on www.broadview-heights-spotlights.org. Additional questions may be emailed to the director at dsekanic73(a)gmail.com.
