(Language developed by Kevin Kantor and Emily Tarquin from the Actors Theatre of Louisville). Synopsis: The world's greatest detective has seemingly reached the end of his remarkable career when a case presents itself that is too tempting to ignore: The King of Bohemia is about to be blackmailed by a notorious photograph, and the woman at the heart of this crime is the famous opera singer, Irene Adler. With his trusted companion, Doctor Watson, at his side, Sherlock Holmes pursues first the case, and then the affections of Miss Adler—and in doing so, marches right into the lair of his longtime adversary, that malevolent genius of crime: Professor Moriarty. In this spirited, fast-moving and thoroughly theatrical adaptation, Steven Dietz presents Holmes at the height of his powers—surrounded by all the elements that fans of his exploits have come to expect: danger, intrigue, wit, humor and surprise. "The game is afoot, Watson—and it is a dangerous one!" Available roles: Sherlock Holmes: Male, 30s/40s. the charismatic, focused, brilliant, and famous detective with ego and pride to match; captures criminals through his excellent powers of deduction, observation, and logic; wry sense of humor; passionate to the challenge/game of crime and those being wronged. Ethnicity: All Ethnicities Dr. Watson: Male, 30s/40s. narrator of the story; Holmes’ loyal and astute sidekick; extremely brave, resourceful, and practical; also very selfless and modest, as he puts himself at risk to help Holmes; rather skeptical about his companion's ideals; sarcastic and has an erratic sense of humor. Ethnicity: All Ethnicities Irene Adler: Female, 20s/30s. famous, charismatic, striking, graceful, and dynamic opera singer; once had an affair with the King, now luring our detective "into her web"; highly intuitive and clever; almost an equal match to the intellect and deductive expertise of Holmes. Ethnicity: All Ethnicities Professor Moriarty: Male, 30s/40s. Holmes’ nemesis and his ultimate equal match in “the game"; criminal mastermind--oversees much of London’s criminal activity; an educated and brilliant man with a masterful habit of never leaving a trace. Ethnicity: All Ethnicities King of Bohemia: Male, 20s/30s. a desperate, rather dramatic man of royal descent to be married in two weeks; hires Holmes to dispense of a problem with former lover of Irene Adler. Ethnicity: All Ethnicities James Larrabee: Male, 20s/30s. as an upper-class lawyer, Godfrey Norton he quickly marries Irene Adler, but in truth he is James, a lower-class swindler and a scam artist. Ethnicity: All Ethnicities Madge Larrabee: Female, 20s/30s. James Larrabee’s scheming and unfeeling sister, Madge Larrabee is also part of Moriarty's gang. Ethnicity: All Ethnicities Sid Prince: Male, 20s/30s. (This role will double with other small parts) Moriarty’s hit man and thug, Sid Prince is not too bright, but he has some strong criminal skills.

The whole family can audition for BIG FISH!
by Bailey Pfohl 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

BIG FISH Auditions: Aug 25, 1 - 5pm, August 27 & 28, 6 - 9pm At Near West Theatre Holiday Intergenerational Production, Ages 7+ Show Run: Nov 22 - Dec 15 Performances: Nov 22, 23, 29, 30, Dec 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 This will be the first show directed by NWT's new Artistic Director, Trinidad Snider. ABOUT THE SHOW Edward Bloom has lived a full and magical life, populated by witches, giants, and mermaids, marked by true love that stops time in its tracks, and framed by heroics that push the limits of believability. His adult son, Will, is no longer amused by his father's fantastical tales, insisting on a rational rather than a fantastical account of one's life. When Edward's health declines, and Will learns that he and his wife, Josephine, will have a son of their own, Will decides to find out his father's "true" life story, once and for all. Big Fish is a heartfelt, powerful, and truly magical musical about parents and their children, and the tales that we use to define our identities and leave behind as part of our legacy. Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish tells a spectacular and fantastical story that is overflowing with love. ABOUT THE AUDITION Please arrive 15 minutes early to register. Auditions begin promptly at the designated time.

Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes for dancing so you can move easily. Auditions focus on the creative process, not the product; on working as an ensemble, not solo. After this first level audition, callbacks will focus on individual roles/songs and working from the script. https://www.facebook.com/events/2131875033769368/ Near West Theatre 6702 Detroit Ave Cleveland, OH 44102 O: 216.961.9750 www.nearwesttheatre.org<http://www.nearwesttheatre.org> Near West Theatre builds loving relationships and engages diverse people in strengthening their sense of identity, passion, and purpose, individually and in community, through accessible, affordable, and transformational theatre arts experiences.
