cleveland PUBLIC theatre Presents The Elephant In the Room<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2024-2025/the-elephant-in-th…> by Priyanka Shetty November 14 through November 17, 2024 Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) presents the Midwest debut of the critically acclaimed The Elephant in the Room by Priyanka Shetty in partnership with the Federation of India Community Associations<https://www.ficacleveland.org/>. Unapologetically Indian, Irreverently American, "One-Woman Wonder" Priyanka Shetty's The Elephant in the Room is a witty, dark comedy about just your typical Indian metalhead and software-engineer-turned-actor who must navigate life as an immigrant arriving in Trump's America. When Priyanka makes the bold move to defy her family by quitting her IT job and moving to the U.S. to pursue an acting career, things don’t quite turn out how she imagined. The play navigates Priyanka's real-life journey as she transitions from her deeply embedded roots in India to finding context and common ground in America. Gear up for a funny, tumultuous ride through immiscible cultures, unforgettable love, irreparable loss, and the desperation of not belonging anywhere.  *Actor appears courtesy of Actors' Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.

Gates Mills, OH 44040 AUDITION SLOT SIGN UP: Please sign-up for an audition slot at the link below: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0548ADAF2BA6F94-51505497-auditions#/ SYNOPSIS: A tribute from Ken Ludwig to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, A Fox On the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp, which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it's a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers' classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man's eternal love affair with...golf. CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS: Justin – (Male, 20s-30s) A socially awkward young man who also happens to be low handicap golfer. In real life, his nervousness and uncertainties often overtake his actions. Louise – (Female, 20s-30s) A perfect match for Justin in that she, too, possesses some naive, awkward social graces. She is sexy and sweet and very proud of her accomplishments, but is also given to extreme reactions to set backs. She cries a lot. Bingham – (Male, 30s-50s) The owner of the Quail Valley Country Club. He has been frustrated by years of a mismatched marriage and is intimidated by his wife while mooning over his former love interest, Pamela. Pamela – (Female, 30s-50s) The somewhat cynical divorcee who has left Dickie (Director of the Crouching Squirrel) behind. She is the helper, the fixer upper of things gone bad, the object of Bingham’s devotion. Dickie – (Male, 30s-50s) The insufferable bore who is the Director of the Crouching Squirrel. He dresses loudly and tastelessly meaning that his appearance matches his personality. Muriel – (Female, 30s-50s) The overbearing wife of Bingham. When she is in the room she sucks all of the oxygen out of the space. *All roles in this production are on a volunteer basic, there is currently no compensation available for the actors involved in this production* Any age, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, body type, abilities, or other identities are encouraged to audition and will be considered equally in character casting, unless directly specified by the playwright as integral to their story.

REPOST with DATES/TIMES: AUDITIONS for The Half Life of Marie Curie at Clague Playhouse, directed by Anne McEvoy
by Clague Playhouse 03 Nov '24

03 Nov '24

*Audition Notice: * *The Half Life of Marie Curie * by Lauren Gunderson Directed by Anne McEvoy *AUDITIONS: *Tuesday, November 26 and Wednesday, November 27 from 7PM-9PM at Clague Playhouse (1371 Clague Rd, Westlake, OH 44145) *STORY:* In 1911, Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium. By 1912, she was the object of ruthless gossip over an alleged affair with the married Frenchman Paul Langevin, all but erasing her achievements from public memory. Weakened and demoralized by the press lambasting her as a “foreign” Jewish temptress and a homewrecking traitor, Marie agrees to join her friend and colleague Hertha Ayrton, an electromechanical engineer and suffragette, at her summer home in England. *The Half-Life of Marie Curie* revels in the power of female friendship as it explores the relationship between these two brilliant women, both of whom are mothers, widows, and fearless champions of scientific inquiry.*“A fast-paced, frisky, feminist crowd pleaser…80 minutes of wit and wisdom powered by two turn-of-the-century female STEM stars…a powerhouse theatrical opportunity for two, middle-aged actresses.”* *Characters:* 2 women*MARIE CURIE:* 40 – 50 yr. of age. Slight Polish dialect. A French national…and brilliant, shrewd, private, and patient scientist. At this point, she has already won her first Nobel prize in physics with her husband, Pierre, in 1903. She is the mother of two daughters, Irene(4) and Eve (7) and was widowed in 1906 when her husband died tragically.*HERTHA AYRTON:* Mid to late 50’s. Refined British dialect but she’s not above using strong language. A brazen, ambitious, fiercely, intelligent, engineer, inventor, and suffragist. Widowed in 1908, she continued her work in electrical experimentation while secretly housing suffragettes running from police. Of Jewish origin, she became an agnostic pragmatist who changed her name from Sarah to Hertha after a Swinburne poem about a goddess of the earth.Please come prepared with a short (90 second max) monologue and be prepared to read from the script. Scripts are available for 3 days at the Clague Playhouse Box Office for a $10 refundable deposit. All perusal scripts must be returned by Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024. Headshots and/or resumes greatly appreciated but not required.*NOTE: If Anne has directed you in a previous play, no need to prepare a monologue.
