AUDITIONS: Luau for King Lear @ Independence Community Theater
by Kevin Cline 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Join us for this hilarious prequel to *Barbecuing Hamlet! *We're seeking 8 fun, outgoing, and high energy people for this amusing farce. AUDITION DATES: Sunday, March 9th: 2-4 pm Monday, March 10th: 7-9 pm LOCATION: Independence Community Theater. 6652 Brecksville Rd, Cleveland, OH 44131 Auditions will consist of cold reads from the script. Please bring a hardcopy of your resume as well as all conflicts between March 23 - May 17 2025. Rehearsals will be Sunday, Monday, and Wednesdays until Tech week. PERFORMANCE DATES: May 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 16, 17 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, May 11th at 2:00 pm LOOKING FOR CHARACTERS: (inclusive cast, so gender presentation and ages are flexible) TAMARA LOGAN: Chic head of the Fine Arts Council, mid30s. MARY BETH LUMPKIN: Mousy secretary in her mid-20s. BLAIR BEESLEY: Insecure director, in her late 20s. MRS. BLANKTON: Rather waspish lady in her late 50s. CALLIE HAMPTON: Teenage girl, giggly at times. ALEX ROCHESTER: Another teen girl, more serious than OTIS HOCKWELL: Mild-mannered gentleman, around 50. ELZBETH BEESLEY: Blair’s upper-crust mother, late 50s. STORY: The Peaceful Glen Memorial Players are about to mount a new production, but this time, it’s a fight for their lives. It’s not just the usual hand-to-hand combat between board members Duncan and Hope for the last donut. This time the company is about to lose their building. According to the late Archibald Donnelly’s will, they could keep the building as long as they do “quality productions.” Oh, they have tried, in their own left-field way, to do the classics. “Isn’t it true,” family heir Blair Beesley asks, “that you did 'Twelve Angry Men' with five actors and seven store mannequins?” Board President Tamara sees an opening when she learns that Blair once minored in drama in college. “You will be our next director!” So Blair chooses the Shakespearean classic “King Lear,” unaware that the play will have a setting in the tropics! What Blair faces in the next few weeks are giggling teenagers, a cranky lady living in the basement apartment, a leading man with a slight "problem," food fights and teaching Hawaiian to her cast. All sorts of oddball community theater types come out of the woodwork in this riotous farce where your audience not only gets to see their performance but also what goes on behind the scenes.

But there's still the burning question, "How do I know this class is right for me?" The answer is simple: Try it. If you enroll, go through the first class session and feel that this is not the droid you're looking for, I'll gladly refund your money. (I've been in that position myself, as a student.) I'm here to train voice actors. I'm not putting on a fantasy camp. I'm not taking your money and giving you YouTube-level (garbage) information. I'm the real deal, and I want to help you become the real deal. OK, here's the ad. Our Spring Voice Acting Fundamentals class starts this Saturday! Your coach, Dan Popp, is an industry veteran of more than 3 decades, serving clients like John Deere, Goodyear, and Walmart. What will you learn? This class will give you tools and techniques for understanding what the potential client wants, and help you unleash your creative potential to give an on-target performance! You'll get time on the mic each week to work these new ideas into your approach. We’ll meet each Saturday at 2PM from March 8 through April 12 at Colors Audio in Akron. The cost is $750 (plus tax for Ohio residents). There’s some information here <https://www.colorsaudio.com/voice-over-training>.
