TMPAC auditions for Fantasy Adrift: When Nerds Collide May 13 and 14
by Claudia Lillibridge 07 Apr '24

07 Apr '24

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center is proud to announce its auditions for the staged reading of an original musical comedy on Monday, May 13 and Tuesday, May 14; both nights 7pm-9pm. Fantasy Adrift: When Nerds Collide Written by Tim Shaffer and Dustin Oliver Director/Musical Director: Dave Stebbins All performances at 8pm on Friday, June 14 and Saturday, June 15, 2024. There is a private PREVIEW performance scheduled for Thursday, June 13, 2024 at 8pm. Twin Masks is located at 9076 Church Street, Suites 2 and 3, in Twinsburg. As this is a staged reading with limited blocking, and cast will be holding script and music score, rehearsal time will be minimal (likely less than 14 days of rehearsals). A rehearsal calendar will be further developed based upon cast availability. THE STORY: Worlds literally collide when a Star Wars cruise plows into a Star Trek cruise, leaving two groups of hardcore fans to fight through their fantasies, face their realities, and truly go where no musical comedy has gone before. As one ship begins to sink, its passengers must board the other one, and the reluctant shipmates are trapped below decks. Can they learn to work together in spite of their differences, embrace the hero within, and (most importantly) get back to the four-star buffet in time for dinner? Probably not; but anything is possible when fantasy meets reality on the open sea. Please prepare 16-32 bars of music from a modern/ contemporary musical (accompanist will be provided). There will be cold reading from the script. Please note: TMPAC is planning to excerpt this piece (a half hour portion of the staged reading) at the Regional OCTA (Ohio Community Theatre Association) at Hudson Players (Barlow Community Theatre, 41 Oviatt Street, in Hudson) on Saturday, June 22 (most likely excerpting prior to Noon on that date). If selected to represent our region at State OCTA Festival, that event takes place over the Labor Day weekend, and details will be made available accordingly. CHARACTER BREAKDOWN: Characters are dressed in poorly-made costumes representing their favorite Star Wars or Star Trek characters, devoid of any specific emblems from the franchises. TREKKIES: JEFF (baritone) – Male, 30-50. Costumed as Captain Kirk (gold shirt, black pants), Jeff is actually somewhat timid, turning on the bravado to play the character… “Fake it ‘til you make it.” He is more comfortable being himself with other Trekkies. TERRY BROMAN (tenor) – Male, 45-55. A spoiled, petty complainer who wants instant gratification. An only child and divorced, he is costumed as Captain Picard (maroon shirt, black pants) mainly because he is bald. He quickly defects to the Rogues and is rebranded as Lobot from Star Wars. LANGSTON MELVILLE (baritone) – Male, mid-20s to late-30s. Dressed as Mr. Spock (blue shirt, black pants), Langston is a somewhat dull, aloof, intelligent, logical problem-solver who comes from an academic family. He graduated high school early and then earned two college degrees but lacks proper socialization, interpreting life through Star Trek. Having attended many workshops and seminars, his knowledge of obscure facts gets the Trekkies past some of their hurdles. CHRISTINE (mezzo) – Female, 30-45. A marriage counselor from Portland, Oregon, she is dressed in lavender as Counselor Deanna Troi, complete with a tricorder purse. Christine is a vegan, empathetic, a listener, but no pushover. Married for a decade, with no children. Although a marriage counselor, her own marriage is strained. HAROLD (tenor) – Male, 30-50. A quirky, socially awkward, balding hypochondriac dressed as the holographic Doctor from Voyager (blue shirt, black pants). He pretends (or believes?) to be invisible when “turned off,” actually a manifestation of his social anxiety. LINA (mezzo) – Female, 20s-30s. A sexy ass-kicker, dressed in a form-fitting suit. Bossy, stronger than the men, and the muscle of the group. Her no-nonsense, military bearing fits her choice of costume—the cyborg Seven of Nine. She was an army brat and daddy’s girl and works as a security consultant. DEVIN (baritone) – Male, 18-20. An ingenious tinkerer, a “MacGyver”- type problem-solver. No college, aimless, lives with his mother, and doesn’t yet recognize his natural gifts. He is costumed in Wesley 2 Crusher’s grey sweater with rainbow stripes, with some sort of a utility bag or belt that contains tools. STAR WARS ROGUES MARK (baritone) – male, 30s-40s. A sassy, self-serving, fighter, rogue, swashbuckling misogynist. Dressed as Han Solo in the tightest of pants, a large belt buckle, a large cigar, and a prop “blaster” pistol strapped to his thigh, he likes the machismo of the Han Solo character & tries to emulate him. He relishes his role as the leader of the Rogues. EMMA (mezzo) – Female, early 20s. Recent college grad, preparing to attend law school. Strong-willed, a little rough, & more of a natural leader than Mark but is outnumbered by the men. Living with her overbearing, divorced, blue-collar father has prepared her for this dynamic; she can pace Dad and his friends on eating and drinking. Drawn to Star Wars for its depiction of strong women, particularly the combination of sass and femininity of Princess Leia. She is costumed in Leia’s white gown and iconic hair buns. ROY (tenor) – Male, 30-45. Dressed as a Stormtrooper with a visible plush Baby Yoda doll in his backpack. Roy misses everything; he’s absent-minded, possibly ADD, clumsy, and unobservant. He’s also an air traffic controller and is ultimately revealed to be Christine’s husband. His helmet is always on. BERNIE (baritone) – Male, 50-75. A cantankerous old heckler costumed in evil Emperor Palpatine’s black robes and gnarled cane (with a hidden flask), Bernie is perpetually irritated with Roy and pretty much everyone else. As befitting any galactic emperor with a negative disposition, Bernie has an opinion on just about everything. SHIP’S CAPTAIN (baritone) – Male, 40s-50s. A pompous windbag who is disgruntled that the cruise line caters to fan conventions. SAILOR’S VOICE – Any age or sex, can be pre-recorded. EMERGENCY VOICE – Female, pre-recorded voice. APPALACHIAN RADIO VOICE – Any age or sex, can be pre-recorded. Strong hillbilly accent. Sent from my iPhone

Come on down to our neck of the woods and meet the "Pump Boys," a quartet of petrol-pumping, song-swapping good ol' boys who keep the wheels turning on Highway 57. When they're not busy filling up your tank, they're strumming their guitars and harmonizing their voices to a lively mix of country, rock, and pop tunes. Next door to the Pump Boys' gas station is the Double Cupp diner, where the Cupp sisters, Prudie and Rhetta, dish up comfort food and smiles with all the fixin's. These two sassy ladies are always ready with a quip or a song, and their pies are legendary. Together, the Pump Boys and the Dinettes create an irresistible blend of music, laughter, and small-town camaraderie that will leave you tapping your toes and grinning from ear to ear. So come on down to our little slice of Americana and experience the Pump Boys and Dinettes for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
