Arlene's Broadway on Buffalo sets auditions for "Play On!"
by Clay Nielsen 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Arlene’s Broadway on Buffalo, 236 Buffalo St., Conneaut, OH, is planning its return to the stage with a hilarious play-within-a-play comedy. "Play On!" by Rick Abbot will come to the ABOB stage April 22-24, 29, 30 and May 1. Show times will be 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2:30 p.m. Sundays. The show features a variable cast of 10 actors of various ages - from 3-6 men and 4-7 women. It revolves around a community theater group desperately trying to put on a play despite interference from the author, who keeps revising the script. Everything that can go wrong, does go wrong and the laughs are non-stop. Though the play is a farce, it is deceptively challenging from the performing and production viewpoints - it will require strong technical acting skills and comedic ability to pull it off. Auditions will be Feb. 5-6 at the theater. The Saturday, Feb. 5, session will be from 6-8 p.m. and the Sunday, Feb 6, auditions will run from 5-7 p.m. The audition will consist of readings from the script. Please bring a list of potential rehearsal conflicts when attending. Masking is not required. Director is Clay Nielsen. See our Facebook page and message for more information.
