OLIVER at Hathaway Brown Theatre Institutes pairs incredibly talented young actors and an award winning creative team
by Beatrice Katz 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

HATHAWAY BROWN THEATRE INSTITUTE "Oliver!" Book, Music and Lyrics by LIONEL BART July 5- 6 and 7, 2019 HBTI's production of OLIVER pairs incredibly talented young actors with award winning designers and the results will leave you amazed. "OLIVER!" is directed and choreographed by Bebe Weinberg Katz, music direction by John Krol, set and projection design by T. Paul Lowry, lighting design by Tom West, sound design by Carlton Guc with costume and prop design by Vanessa Cook. Oliver features Ben Rakow as Oliver, Hannah Schmidt as Nancy, Eric Feucht as Fagin, Jake Lehner as Bill Sikes and Celia Hawk as Artful Dodger. The entire cast of 28 young actors ( 4th grade through college) brings energy and excitement to all of the characters in this Tony award musical. Based on the novel OLIVER TWIST by Charles Dickens, this musical adaptation springs to life with some of the most memorable characters and songs ever to hit the stage; "Food Glorious Food", "Where Is Love", "Consider Yourself" and "As Long As He Needs Me" to name just a few of the songs that earned Lionel Bart the Tony for Best Original Score. OLIVER is one of the few musicals to win an academy award for Best Picture and is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actor and audiences alike. The streets of Victorian England are full of hustle and bustle as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes a neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance among a group of petty thieves and pickpockets lead by elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr Brownlow, takes him in. Fearing for the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, leaving Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of family in jeopardy. Three more performances are in the Ahuja Auditorium at Hathaway Brown School, 19600 North Park Blvd., Shaker Hts. OH., 44122 on Friday July 5th and Saturday July 6th at 7:30 PM.

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.

*Lakeland Theatre* *Announces Auditions* * for * *The Inspector General* By *Nikolai Gogol* Directed by *Martin Friedman* Sound Designed by *Eric Simna * Lighting Designed by *Marcus Dana* Costumes Designed by *Jordan Cooper * *The Play:* This play is the epitome of a satire. Hollywood made a movie with Danny Kaye that bore no resemblance to the play. Written in 1836 in Russia, by Nikolai Gogol, The Inspector General is a comedy of errors that ridicules political corruption, local corruption and corruption at all levels; this play lampoons everybody and everything. I need actors that are ready take these characters as far as they can without be untrue. Truth is always funnier than fake news. *ALL AGES, GENDERS, AND ETHNITICITES ARE ENCOURGED TO AUDITION.* *The Plot: **The corrupt officials of a small town, headed by the Mayor, react with terror to the news that an undercover inspector will soon be arriving in their town to investigate them. The Mayor, after years of shaking down all the crooked city department heads himself, is freaked out. As the public officials all try to cover up their misdeeds, a suspicious person has arrived and is staying at the local hotel. That person, however, is not an inspector, but a smart guy on the take. Sick and tired of the Mayor’s demand for bribes, the department heads try to buy off the griffter with the Mayor’s wife and daughter also trying to get in the act. * *Audition Information and Dates:* *Auditions will take place on Monday and Tuesday, July 8 and 9, 2019 between 7:00 and 9:00 PM in the Performing Arts Center. No reservations or monologues are needed. Sorry, no Equity Contracts for this one. **This is an open audition. All roles are paid except if you are under 18 years of age; sorry.* *Production and Rehearsal Dates:* *The Inspector General **will open on Friday, September 13 and run through Sunday, September 29, 2019. There will be nine (9) shows; that is THREE (3) weeks of performances. * *Rehearsals will begin in early August. We will work around vacations and Labor Day.* For more information please feel free to contact me, Martin Friedman at martinfriedman98(a)gmail.com or at 216/233-5441. *THE ROLES:* *The Family* *The Mayor: Anton Antonovich**: * *The Mayor’s wife: Anna Andreyevna: * *The Mayor’s daughter: Maria Antonovna**: * *The City Officials* *The School Superintendent:** On the take.
