AUDITIONS at Clague Playhouse for "The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley"
by Clague Playhouse 30 Jul '25

30 Jul '25

Upcoming Auditions for CLague Playhouse's 98th Season! *The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley *by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon , Directed by Curt Arnold A companion to last season’s *Miss Bennett *– come see what was happening downstairs at the same holiday celebration! *Audition dates/time: *Tuesday, August 12th and Wednesday, August 13th, 7-9pm *Show dates: *November 14th through December 14th, 2025 Performances are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30PM and Sundays at 2:00PM. Please bring resume and headshot, if available. If you don’t have a headshot, Clague will shoot one at auditions. No appointment is necessary. You can fill out audition form onsite or from website. Please print and bring with you. The story: In this delightful companion play to *Miss Bennet*, Gunderson and Melcon once again bring Austen’s beloved characters to the stage for a yuletide sequel to Pride and Prejudice. While Miss Bennet depicted the newly wed Darcys’ Christmas gathering on the ground floor of Pemberley, *The Wickhams *takes audiences to the downstairs servants’ quarters for that same celebration. Mrs. Reynolds, a no-nonsense housekeeper; Cassie, an eager new maid; and Brian, a lovesick footman, are bustling with preparations for holiday guests. But their work is interrupted by the midnight arrival of the definitely not-invited Mr. Wickham—Lydia’s rogue of a husband and Mr. Darcy’s sworn enemy. *The Wickhams *is a charming holiday tale that explores the confines of class and the generosity of forgiveness. Characters: MRS. REYNOLDS: (50s to 70s) The housekeeper at Pemberley. She knows all and sees all and has been on staff since Darcy was a child. A mother figure to the household. CASSIE: (20s) The new housemaid. A village girl, an orphan who came from less than nothing. She takes her job very seriously but is sometimes maybe too eager and a bit headstrong. LYDIA WICKHAM: (20s) Elizabeth’s sister, married to George. Flirtatious, youthful, and self-centered, but with a bright, warm, and charming personality, if sometimes a bit much. She eloped with Wickham at 15 and is now somewhat trapped in the marriage. BRIAN: (20s) A footman. In love with technology and inventions. Sincere and earnest, perhaps a bit arrogant. GEORGE WICKHAM: (30s) Married to Lydia. Grew up at Pemberley, son of the former steward. Once a soldier, he has been in and out of trouble (of his own making) his whole life.

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center is excited to be presenting the play You Better Sit Down; tales from my parents’ divorce by Anne Kauffman, Caitlin Miller, Robbie Collier Sublett, Mathew Maher, Jennifer R. Morris, and Janice Paran. Four of the authors (Miller, Sublett, Maher, and Morris) interviewed their parents about their relationships. The play is based on those interviews. The play is a charming, heartbreaking, and hilarious account of each relationship, looking at how they met, got married, and eventually divorced, and the events in between. “In YOU BETTER SIT DOWN the truth about these four defunct marriages is laid bare with simplicity and honesty” – The New Your Times “Relentlessly entertaining” – The New Yorker “Wryly entertaining…absorbingly candid.” – The Village Voice What the critics say about this play: In the original production, the four children presented their parents’ stories, portraying the parents. Our actors will be doing the same. Natalya Duncan plays Caitlin Miller and her mother Mary Anne; Conner Sutton plays Robbie Collier Sublett and his mother Janet; Lisa Georges plays Jennifer Morris and her mother Beverly; and Samuel Roter plays Matthew Morris and his parents John and Frinde. For more information about the cast and upcoming shows, follow us on Facebook. The production is directed by D. Keith Stiver, who has previously directed Love, Loss and What I Wore, Three Tall Women, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, all for Twin Masks.
