Thus all our shows feature volunteer actors and stage personnel. All roles in our productions are always open to auditioners, with no restrictions. Those interested in working backstage, on sets, lights, etc, are encouraged to come to auditions as well and fill out a form letting the producer know their areas of interest. All auditions are held at the Barlow Community Center on Oviatt St in Hudson. Our audition form is available online allowing for completion prior to arrival at auditions. http://www.hudsonplayers.com/audition/ CHARACTER BREAKDOWN: Mabel - (Soprano) - (Coloratura Soprano) - Character is 18 to 22 years of age - Doesn't strictly need to dance, but move reasonably, be light on her feet Needs an out-front, natural expressive voice with excellent diction. She is sweet and innocent but also needs good comic timing. Frederic - (Tenor) Character is 18 - 22 years of age - Needs to be a good mover for dance sequences. Young, manly, genuine and innocent. He is funny in his over bounding earnestness in always trying to do the honorable "thing". He is energetic, out-going & honest. The Pirate King - (Baritone) - Age open - Needs to be very athletic and a good mover for some dance sequences. He is brash and full of himself as he lives out his romantic dream. With the wind in his hair and his chest out, he boldly glides upon the high seas looking for adventure. Major General Stanley - Character is 50 plus years of age - (Baritone) Mabel's father. He must be vibrant, with warmth & good humor and be eccentric but believable. Excellent diction and articulation are important to this character. Ruth - (Contralto) Character is 47 year of age - Character requires an energetic mover. Comic timing is important. Ruth's character undergoes a transition from nurse maid to Pirate. Sergeant of Police - (Bass) - Age open - Comic role - leader of a band of scaredy-cats who want to appear brave. Can be portrayed as somewhat of a 'bumbling' or clumsy character. Needs to be a good mover, preferably a good dancer. Samuel - (Baritone) - Age open - The Pirate King's right-hand man, he is sincere, earnest, and simple-minded. Edith - (Soprano) - All daughters are of a variety of ages, Mabel being the youngest - Edith has a big voice, is a good mover and possesses a vibrant personality. Kate - (Mezzo-soprano) - All daughters are of a variety of ages, Mabel being the youngest - Kate is similar to Edith in her talents and sass but has her own way of seeing the world. Isabel - (Soprano) - All daughters are of a variety of ages, Mabel being the youngest -Isabel can be closest to Mabel's age. She sings in a similar range as Mabel and can often be seen shadowing her sister. Chorus of Daughters - (Contraltos and Sopranos) - Daughters play in the ages of 20's - 30's. Each daughter is her own individual. They all have big voices and enjoy light movement. Daughters can be played by males or females. Chorus of Pirates - (Baritones and Tenors) - Age open - Simple minded, tender-hearted souls. Big, full-out singing is a thrilling aspect of the Pirates. The choreography calls for basic dancing ability in addition to strong vocal ability and a keen comedic sense. Pirates, (as with Sisters and Constables) can be played by males or females. Constables - (Bass or Baritones) - Age open - They obey their duty and the law but are cowards at heart. Actors who play Constables must find moving and singing on stage to be a great deal of fun. Constables can be played by males or females. NOTE: Pirates of Penzance is an enormously vibrant and celebrative show. We are looking for artists who love to sing, collaborate with others and be part of a collaborative "whole." We look forward to getting started with this hilariously entertaining show and hope to see you at the auditions! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The information contained in this message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.

Lakeland's Freaky Friday continues this weekend and next
by Martin Friedman 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

*Lakeland Civic Theatre * *Presents* *Freaky Friday* Book by *Bridget Carpenter* Music by *Tom Kitt* Lyrics by *Brian Yorkey* *"But then there’s “Parents Lie” and “Bring My (Baby) Brother Home,” which remind us that the guys who actually wrote “Next to Normal” are in the room." ....."**These songs are complex, have immense heart and require performers with impressive vocal range, power and purity to do them justice. This is exactly what the talented Trinidad Snider and Alley Massey bring to the table as mother Katherine and daughter Ellie, respectively. And gorgeous songs like Snider’s “After All of This and Everything” and Massey’s “No More Fear” drive home that eleventh-hour moral takeaway, when each character finally comes to understand the other." **"Director Martin Friedman and designers Aaron Benson (scenic), Marcus Dana (lighting) and Eric Simna (sound) seem to gravitate toward these songs and are at their best staging their {certain songs} intimate moments. Dramatic silhouette lighting, delicate sound mixing with music director Matthew Dolan’s excellent eight-piece orchestra, and graceful movement accentuate the songs’ poignancy and the performers’ artistry." * * Bob Ableman, The Cleveland Jewish News February 3, 2019* Directed by *Martin Friedman* Musical Direction by *Matthew Dolan* Settings Designed by *Aaron Benson * Sound Designed by *Eric Simna * Lighting Designed by *Marcus Dana* Costumes Designed by *Kelsey Tomlinson * Choreography by *Katie Zarecki* Production Stage Manager *Whitney Miller* *The Play:* *I saw this play at its initial tryout at the Signature Theatre in Washington DC (actually Shirlington,Va.) two years ago with my family. I was bowled over by the changes to this already wonderful book (by Richard Rodgers’ daughter Mary Rodgers) and films. Instead of an almost slap-stick story about a mother and daughter exchanging minds and and coming to grips with the change of bodies; the new musical instead takes on something more important; the different hopes and dreams of a mother and daugthter and body shaming. I found the story down-right profound and the music wonderful.* *And perhaps most importantly, FREAKY FRIDAY is no longer just a book and movie about a homogeneous family and the school they attend, but rather it is about the real world.* *Based on the beloved 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers features a book by Bridget Carpenter, and music and lyrics by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey - the Pulitzer Prize-winning composers of Next to Normal and If/Then.* *The Plot: **“When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. By spending a day in each other's shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another's struggles, learn self-acceptance, and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter.”* *The Production:* *Freaky Friday **runs from Friday, February 8 and run through Sunday, February 17, 2019. There will be six (6) more performances. All Friday and Saturday shows start at 7:30 pm and Sunday shows begin at 2:00 pm. * For more information please feel free to call 440.525.7526 for production information.
