AUDITIONS FOR "THE NIGHT THOREAU SPENT IN JAIL"
by Jeremy Benjamin 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

LCCC Announces Auditions For *THE NIGHT THOREAU SPENT IN JAIL* By Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee Directed by Sarah May WHAT: Lorain County Community College will hold auditions for the 2018 Fall Production *The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail*, a lively theatrical portrait of famed American writer, environmentalist and activist Henry David Thoreau. Written by Cleveland nativeJerome Lawrence and Elyria native Robert E. Lee*, *best known for *Inherit the Wind* and *Auntie Mame, *this wonderfully imaginative script takes an obscure moment in history and turns it into an inspiring tale for our times. In 1849 young Henry David Thoreau was sent to jail for refusing to pay his taxes to support a brutal war he considered unjust. In the play Henry stews in his jail cell, while his mind wanders back and forth in time reliving key moments and encounters that shaped his life. We meet the teacher who inspired him, the girl he loved but didn't marry, a runaway slave he tried to help, and the citizens of a town who never understood the young man who marched to a different drum. Thoreau's decision to go to jail for standing by his beliefs, or committing what he called *civil disobedience, *set a precedent for all those who would come after him: abolitionists, suffragettes, freedom riders, conscientious objectors, peace advocates, and ecologists. *Copies of the playscript will be on reserve at the LCCC Bass Library until the audition dates.* WHO: Auditions are open to all LCCC students and staff, as well as actors from the community. We are seeking a multi–generational, multi-ethnic ensemble to bring the vibrant community of 19th Century Concord, Massachusetts to life on stage. WHEN AND WHERE: Auditions will be held Sunday afternoon, September 9 from 2:00 to 5:00 and Monday evening, September 10 from 7:00 to 9:00 in the Cirigliano Studio Theatre inside The Stocker Arts Center 1005 N. Abbe Road, Elyria, OH 44035. *Actors will be asked to read from the script.* If you would also like to perform a short monologue please inform the director at the time of audition. Feel free to contact Sarah at 216-410-1781 if you have questions or concerns. Please call or email LCCC Director of Theatre Jeremy Benjamin 440-366-7120 or jbenjami(a)lorainccc.edu with your planned audition date. PRODUCTION DATES: The production will run the weekend of November 15-17. Rehearsals will begin October 1. Please bring a list of conflicts with you to auditions.

AUDITION NOTICE - It's a Wonderful Life
by Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre is located at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW Canton Ohio 44702 SYNOPSIS: In our American culture It's a Wonderful Life has become almost as familiar as Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The story is a natural for a stage adaptation: the saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been quashed by family obligation and civic duty, whose guardian angel has to descent on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and to remind him—by showing him what the world would have been like had he never been born—that his has been, after all, a wonderful life. This faithful adaptation has all your favorite characters: George and Mary Hatch, Clarence, Uncle Billy, Violet, and, of course, the Scrooge-like villain, Mr. Potter. This fine dramatization not only celebrates the faith of the season, it also celebrates the American philosophy of life: hard work, fair play and the love and support of one's family and community will be rewarded. Directed By: Julie Connair Auditions will be held October 16th and 17th from 7-9pm All auditioners are asked to come prepared to cold read from the script.
