AUDITION NOTICE: Hello Herman at Avenue Arts
by Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for HELLO HERMAN Located at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW Canton, Ohio 44702 SYNOPSIS: Video games, violent movies, Marilyn Manson, the Internet, Prozac, or fame? What moves a teenager to cross the line and become a high-school shooter? More importantly, how do we stop it? Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Lax Morales is looking for a follow-up to his groundbreaking undercover piece on white supremacists. Although his video blog has an unprecedented online following among teens, Lax has been written off as Internet trash by the elite of the publishing world. He needs a big story and he knows it. After killing thirty-nine students and three teachers in a suburban Iowa school, sixteen-year-old Herman Howards takes the time to email video clips of the incident to his idol, Lax. He adds one line to the clips: "I want to tell my story on your show." The public pushes for Herman's televised execution as Lax conducts three days of interviews, using every tool at his disposal to discover what drives the current poster-boy for evil. HELLO HERMAN is a mind-blowing examination of how tragic events like Columbine and Virginia Tech continue to happen in our country. No stone is left unturned as Lax searches for an answer to the question everyone's been asking but no one has been able to find: Why? Hello Herman is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York. Directed by: Christopher Bizub Auditions will be held on Tuesday, August 27th and Wednesday, August 28th from 7-9pm Callbacks (if necessary) will take place on August 29th.

The Life of Trees (directed by Adam Leventhal) Seven-year-old Maddy cares deeply about "Bertha", the ancient Chinese cork tree in a local park. And her love for Bertha inspires a family reconciliation. Recess (directed by Adam Leventhal) Two children enact on the playground how they imagine life would be like as adults. But perhaps they are merely practicing for the future, and they are destined to spend their lives together. Lovesick (directed by Tim Peebles) At the Institute, some time in the not too distant future, Tom and Marybeth find that love among coworkers does not always work out. New Friends (directed by Mike Podgor) A young lady meets some new friends. You Haven't Changed a Bit (directed by Greg Lavelle) Lottie has never been to a high school reunion; Len has been to them all. Their 70th is a first for them both. Death of a Snowman (directed by Michael Attali) A snowman and a little girl discuss the afterlife in this existential Yuletide comedy. An Ace in the Hole (directed by Greg Lavelle) Based on actual events, An Ace in the Hole is the story of a dad, son and grandfather sneaking onto a closed golf course on New Years' Day. Dad finds a new perspective when he meets a mysterious old lady with a fantastic tale to tell. The Prodigal Cow (directed by Adam Leventhal) A familiar tale, told from a slightly more bovine perspective. Super Interview (directed by Lisa Carter) Mr. Melvin interviews Mrs. Smith for an important position in his company, but it seems that Smith's super qualifications might not be enough to win the job. A Box of Ashes (directed by Adam Leventhal) A man and a woman seek the help of a psychic to discover the reason a spirit seems to be present in the woman's house and, in the process, discover a surprising revelation. Eddie and Edna (directed by Greg Lavelle) Sometimes it becomes a struggle to sort out the real from the imagined. Sometimes, even those closest cannot help. The Secret Life of Phones (directed by Lisa Carter) Two cellphones talk to one another. They have a secret love affair going on, but it's coming to an end because the one phone is about to be replaced by an upgrade. This is a commentary about how people would rather spend time on their phones than with each other. Cast (may have multiple roles) Michael Attali Bridget Chandler-Holtz Colleen Crowley Kris Crowley Jenny Erbs Herb Hadders Tim Jones Jackie Kelly Debra Kirkby Adam Leventhal Megan McCarthy Bob Meredith Owen Mills Spencer Mills Aiden Mills Tim Peebles Jake Phelps Mike Podgor Bill Ransom Marilyn Ransom Emily Taylor Jarrod Vullo Production Crew Tech Advisor Mark Little Stage Manager Rob Thomas Publicity, Reservations and Box Office Linda Little Videographer/Photographer Scott MacLean Performance Dates: Fri.
