Noises Off Auditions at Hudson Players
by Durbin, Mark H. 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Hudson Players Announces Auditions for Noises Off Written by Michael Frayn A fan-favorite British farce! Directed by Brad Kisner Audition Dates: Sept. 9 & 11, 2019 - 7:00 p.m. Barlow Community Center 41 S. Oviatt St. Hudson, Ohio 44236 Performance Dates: Nov. 1, 2, 8, 9, 10*, 15 & 16, 2019 (8:00 p.m. curtain/*2 p.m. matinee) The auditions will involve reading from the script. ALL ROLES AVAILABLE. Hudson Players does not pre-cast. They say the show must go on. But in this rip-roaring, hilarious comedy about putting on a play, it seems at first that "Nothing On" will never make it to curtain call. Often called "the funniest farce ever written," this ensemble play is a cunningly constructed comedy classic. The crazed director still holds out hope that the show will be a great success, but he has a lot working against him. The male lead can't remember his lines, the female lead has barely read the play, sardines are flying everywhere, and there is too much drama backstage to save any for in front of the curtain. As the motley group takes the show on the road, things go from bad to worse, for the show as well as the personal lives of the cast and crew. But in the end, they just might pull it off. Watching this show slowly deteriorate is sure to keep you laughing the whole time. "If laughter is the best medicine, this flawless show is capable of curing double pneumonia." -- The Wall Street Journal. Casting * Many actors play two roles...an onstage character and an off-stage character. * Those auditioning will be asked to read from the script. * Perusal copies of Noises Off are available at The Hudson Library. Character Descriptions: Women: DOTTY OTLEY - A late-middle-aged actress. Plays "Mrs. Clackett," the housekeeper for the Brents' home in England in Nothing's On. BROOKE ASHTON - A young, inexperienced actress from London. Plays "Vicki," who works for the tax authorities and is trying to woo Roger in Nothing's On. POPPY NORTON-TAYLOR - Assistant Stage Manager. BELINDA BLAIR - Cheerful and sensible, a reliable actress. Plays "Flavia," Philip Brent's wife, who is dependable, though not one for household duties. Men: LLOYD DALLAS - The director of a play-within-the-play. GARRY LEJEUNE - A stuttering actor, easily fired up. Plays "Roger," the estate agent looking to let the Brent's house in Nothing's On. FREDERICK FELLOWES - Has a serious fear of violence and blood. Plays "Phillip Brent," who lives out of the country with his wife Flavia to avoid paying taxes and is on a secret visit in Nothing's On. TIM ALLGOOD - An over-worked Stage Manager. SELSDON MOWBRAY - Elderly and with actorly mannerisms. Plays "Selsdon," a burglar and an old man in his seventies, breaking into the Brents' house.
