Auditions for Maytag Virgin at Clague Playhouse - 9/16 & 9/17
by Clague Playhouse 26 Aug '25

26 Aug '25

Upcoming Auditions for Clague Playhouse's 98th Season! *Maytag Virgin* by Audrey Cefaly Directed by Rose Leninger Two porches. Two people. One collision course with everything they’ve been avoiding. *Audition dates/time:* Tuesday, September 16th and Wednesday, September 17th, 7-9pm *Show dates: *January 30th through February 22nd, 2026 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:* Set in small-town Alabama, this emotionally charged and darkly funny two-hander delivers Southern charm with Shakespearean tension. – a slow-sparking collision between two smart, guarded schoolteachers on neighboring porches. Lizzy Nash, recently widowed and sharp as a tack, meets her quiet match in Jack Key, a steady, soft-spoken newcomer with secrets of his own. *Characters:* ELIZABETH “LIZZY” NASH (30-45) – High school English teacher, High school English teacher, somewhat excentric but set in her ways. She knows everything that is happening and everyone BUT is not a busy body. She is very friendly but wants to understand when someone is not doing what she would expect them to do. She is a master of orderly chaos. Confident, Southern, and somewhat neurotic. JACK KEY (30-45) – High School Physics teacher. Very even keeled, and orderly. However, has his own quirks that may be actual quirks or may just be his way of needling the woman. New to the area and not quite ready for someone to know all about him. Does not like to be forced into a decision. Takes his time. - - - - - - - - - Clague Playhouse, Inc. 1371 Clague Road Westlake, OH 44145 info(a)ClaguePlayhouse.org <info(a)clagueplayhouse.org> 440-331-0403 www.ClaguePlayhouse.org <http://www.clagueplayhouse.org/> *Follow us on **Facebook* <https://www.facebook.com/ClaguePlayhouse/>*!*

LCCC Theatre Auditions for MEDUSA UNDONE
by Jeremy Benjamin 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

Medusa Undone By Bella Poynton Directed by Stephanie Wilbert Lorain County Community College announces non-equity auditions for our upcoming production of *Medusa Undone.* We are seeking 5-8 performers and various production positions for this production. Story Synopsis: A theatrical retelling of the little-known Medusa origin story. Before she was one of the greatest mythical monsters of all time, Medusa was a kind, beautiful sea-nymph in Athena's service. Unparalleled in both her beauty and devotion to the Gods, Medusa catches the eye of the charming but narcissistic Poseidon. Interested only in the passions of the spirit, and not the flesh, Medusa feels she has no choice but to reject the greedy God. For this, she not only suffers violence at the hand of Poseidon, but also incites a deep-seated jealousy in Athena, with horrific and disturbing consequences. *Medusa Undone* explores how rape culture reverberates through the ages, and calls attention to the great injustice suffered by female victims of abuse. *Roles are available for actors of all genders, ages 18 and older.* - *Medusa*: Female, twenties, a mortal woman from the sea. - *Athena Nike*: Female or nonbinary, thirties to forties, the Goddess of War and Strategy. - *Poseidon*: Male, thirties, the God of the Sea. - *Stheno*: Female or nonbinary, thirties, Medusa's immortal sea-gorgon sister. - *Xenoclea (Xena)*: Female, forties to sixties, the high priestess at the Temple of Athena. LCCC Theatre embraces diversity and inclusion and utilizes a non-traditional casting policy. Non-traditional casting is a method designed to increase artistic options by expanding casting opportunities for women, actors of color, seniors, and actors with disabilities in roles where race, gender, age, or the presence or absence of a disability are not germane. To that end, we encourage all actors to audition, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, or physical ability. Please note that this play contains moments of intimacy. *How to Audition* *Auditions will occur on Tuesday, September 16, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm and Wednesday, September 17 , from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Callbacks, if necessary, will be held on Thursday, September 18, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.* Please review the available slots below and click the button to sign up. Actors will be asked to read from the script. Please bring a resume and headshot if possible, or be prepared to fill out an audition form and have your photo taken. Plan to stay for at least 30 minutes. Scripts are available at the circulation desk of LCCC’s Bass Library. To schedule an audition, click on the following link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050944A8AF28ABFB6-58070767-medusa <https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050944A8AF28ABFB6-58070767-medusa> *Rehearsals* Rehearsals will be scheduled around the actor's availability in October-November 2025. Rehearsals will begin Monday, September 29, 2025. Rehearsals will be scheduled around cast member schedules submitted at auditions. *Performances* All performances will occur on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, November 20-22, 2025, at 7:30 pm in the Cirigliano Studio Theatre located on the campus of Lorain County Community College. *Other Production Positions Available:* Those interested in non-performing positions such as run crew, set, lights, costumes, and stage management are encouraged to attend auditions, but may also email LCCC Director of Theatre Jeremy Benjamin at jbenjami(a)lorainccc.edu to express their interest.
