Please dress for movement, and bring your calendar with any and all conflicts from auditions through October. Readings from the script will be held at callbacks. *Cast of Characters (ALL ROLES AVAILABLE):* *Ren McCormack* (Tenor, Heavy Dance, 16 - 18) Ren is seen as a young rebel always getting into trouble, but at heart he is an energetic young man who is dealing with the pain of his father's absence. He displays this pain through his quirky sarcasm and by dancing. *Ethel McCormack* (35 - 45) Ren's mother. She is a strong willed, outspoken single parent who would do anything for her son. (Singing is more traditional musical theater than other characters). *Reverend Shaw Moore *(Baritone, 35-45) Reverend Moore is the most powerful figure in Beaumont. He is a stern, strict, solemn man with a booming voice who runs the town with an iron fist. However he also has a tender side and is struggling with the loss of his son. (Singing is more traditional musical theater than other characters). *Vi Moore *(Mezzo-Soprano, 35-45) The strong-willed preacher's wife who holds the moral fiber of Beaumont in her upright stance. She feels she is losing her husband and daughter and doesn't know what to do. She ultimately is responsible for holding her family together after its terrible loss. *Ariel Moore *(Belt, Dance, 16 - 18) She is the preacher's daughter. At first glimpse it would appear that she is the perfect girl; beautiful, perky, energetic. But look closer and she is her father's worst nightmare. She is energetic, strong willed, sharp tongued, and aware of her sensuality. *Rusty *(Comedic, Dance, 16 - 18) Ariel's friend. A bit of a ditz but knows everything about everybody. *Urleen *(Belt, Comedic, Dance, 16 - 18) Ariel's friend. The smart one of the group. *Wendy Jo* (Belt, Comedic, Dance, 16 - 18) Ariel's friend. Doesn't say much but sure knows a lot about Beaumont and the town rules. *Chuck Cranston* (Rock Tenor, Dance, 16 - 20) * A motorcycle riding, foul mouthed, leather wearing, trailer park product who takes one look at Ren and realizesthat there's only room for one bad boy in this town. He is dating the one girl that Ren obviously has a crush on, Ariel. *Willard Hewitt *(Tenor, Comedic, Dance, 16 - 18) A simple country bumpkin with a warm heart and a big crush. He quickly befriends Ren and shows him the rules of living in Beaumont. *Jeter* - Ren's friend* *Bickle* - Ren's friend* *Garvin *- Ren's friend* *Lyle* - Chuck's buddy* *Travis* - Chuck's buddy* * May also double in Ensemble ENSEMBLE ROLES (No Solos) : *Lulu Warnicker *- Ren's aunt *Wes Warnicker *- her husband *Coach Roger Dunbar *- the high school gym teacher *Eleanor Dunbar* - his wife *A Cop* *Betty Blast *- the owner of The Burger Blast *Principal Harry Clark* *High School Students* (ages 15 to 23 – could pass as teens, with STRONG dance ability) *Townspeople* (ages10 to 70+, including 6-8 kids) If you have any questions regarding the auditions or the show, please feel free to contact the director Mike Larochelle at mnbla(a)aol.com, or by TEXT at 440-570-6367.

CPT ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR THE LOUSH SISTERS LOVE DICK'NS: OPPS!... THEY DID IT AGAIN
by India Burton 04 Aug '19

04 Aug '19

CPT announces Auditions for The Loush Sisters Love Dick'ns: Oops!... They Did It Again Created by Liz Conway, Michael Seevers Jr., and Beth Wood Directed by Beth Wood, CPT's Associate Artistic Director & Director of Production ________________________________ Looking to cast... 3 - 5 funny people (over the age of 21) who can sing/carry a tune, move/shake your maracas, and don't take themselves too seriously, to join the dysfunctional Loush Sisters. Specific Characters * Ghost of Christmas Present: 30s-50s, any gender & ethnicity * Ensemble/Siblings: 20s-early 30s, 2-3 males & 1-2 females, any ethnicity Equity agreements may be considered for this production Cleveland Public Theatre is committed to diversity and encourages all its employers to engage in a policy of equal employment opportunity designed to promote a positive model of inclusion. As such, CPT encourages performers of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, to attend every audition. Disclosure: Many roles in the production have already been cast. The current cast includes Liz Conway, Beth Wood, Sheffia Randall Dooley*, Kevin Kelly, Caitlin Lewins, and Colleen McCaughey. About the play... This holiday season, join Holly and Jolly Loush (aka The Loush Sisters) for their deeply anticipated return to the stage in a bawdy, boozy, over-the-top holiday cabaret. Fueled by song, sidekicks, and a hefty dose of "holiday cheer," The Loush Sisters reimagine their 2015/2016 World Premiere production based on A Christmas Carol as you've never, ever seen it before. About The Loush Sisters... Originally created in 2003 for a Cleveland Public Theatre special event, The Loush Sisters have become a favorite of CPT audiences, performing in 2011 at Playhouse Square's 14th Street Theatre and in 2013, 2015, & 2017 at CPT to critical acclaim. The brain children of Liz Conway, Michael Seevers Jr., and Beth Wood, The Sisters are an unapologetically raunchy, lounge-singing duo. (Imagine Saturday Night Live's Sweeney Sisters (1980's) but raunchier & more inappropriate.) About The Process... This rehearsal process will be conventional in nature and based in character development, song, and basic dance. There may be some scene creation during the rehearsal process. Actors will be expected to make strong proposals, be generous, and meet deadlines given. Rehearsals will begin on or around October 14th. Rehearsals are 5-6 times a week, with evening weekday rehearsals and some daytime weekend rehearsals. Performances begin with a preview on November 21st and opening on November 22nd. The production runs November 21 - December 21, Thurs/Fri/Sat at 7:30pm in the Gordon Square Theatre. Important Information about The Play... The Loush Sisters is bawdy, irreverent, and sometimes raunchy. This is a highly topical production with poor taste jokes inspired by the headlines. Auditions... Sunday, August 11th 1-5pm Auditions are by appointment only and will take place in a group setting. Auditioners must attend the full audition session. The auditions will be run by the director Beth Wood, with co-creators Liz Conway and Michael Seevers Jr. What to prepare... * 16 bars of a POP song; bring sheet music in your key (a cappella and CD accompaniment are acceptable) * Read from the script (sides provided at audition) * Be ready to improvise as a member of the Loush Family * Dress appropriately for shimmey-ing and movement * Bring your sense of humor and be prepared to play and have fun! To schedule an audition appointment, please email CPT's NNPN Producer-in-Residence India Burton at iburton(a)cptonline.org<mailto:iburton@cptonline.org>. Be sure to include your name, email address, and phone number in your email. Please include [Loush Sisters Auditions] in your subject line. No phone calls please.
