CASTING CALL- ENSEMBLE THEATRE
by Ensemble Theatre 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Ensemble Theatre is proud to present EAST OF EDEN by John Steinbeck, adapted by Frank Galati October 19th through November 11th 2018. Rehearsals will begin in September. The production is directed by Ian Wolfgang Hinz, the cast will be announced after this role is filled and is made up of all local professional actors. ANNOUNCING AUDITIONS BY APPOINTMENT FOR THE ROLE OF LEE. Chinese-American Male 40's-50's The role is an important member of a strong ensemble based show. All other roles are cast. For more information about Ensemble Theatre's "The Future is Bright" Season please visit our website" www.ensemble-theatre.org To make an audition appointment please email ian(a)ensemble-theatre.org or call 216-321-2930 *Character description:* Lee Lee is Adam Trask’s complex and interesting Chinese-American servant. Readers meet Lee when he goes to pick up Samuel to bring him back to the ranch to discuss boring wells with Adam. On the surface, Lee appears a stereotypical Chinese manservant, wearing a queue and speaking in pidgin Chinese. Within a few moments of meeting him and learning Lee was born in America, Samuel tells Lee, “I mean no disrespect, but I’ve never been able to figure out why you people still talk pidgin when an illiterate baboon from the back bogs of Ireland, with a head full of Gaelic and a tongue like a potato, learns to talk a poor grade of English in ten years” (161). Lee and Samuel are great friends from that moment on. Lee explains he essentially hides behind a stereotypical Chinese mask since that is what the surrounding American culture expects from him. Behind the façade, Lee is highly intelligent, thoughtful, well-read and kind. Rather than being humiliated by his position as a servant, he sees servitude as a unique position to exercise power over a master who comes to rely too heavily upon his servant. Lee, however, does not take advantage of this position. He ends up running Adam’s household and raising his twin sons while Adam languishes in his depression. Once Adam emerges from his stupor, Lee presents to him 10 years of carefully maintained accounts—every household penny accounted for. Besides his role as surrogate father to the twins, Lee plays an important role in the novel by introducing the concept of “timshel.” When the twins are fifteen months old, Samuel descends upon the Trask property to force Adam to name his unclaimed and unloved sons. In the process, Samuel and Lee end up discussing the Biblical story of Cain and Abel. Together they ponder the significance of the story, particularly that because Abel dies, all of humanity is descended from the banished murderer, Cain. Intrigued by contradictory translations of the wording in the story, Lee consults Chinese elders with whom he undertakes a study of Hebrew in order to translate the passage more accurately. Later in the novel, Lee explains his findings to both Adam and Samuel, who has come to bid the men farewell. -- *Information* info(a)ensemble-theatre.org 2843 Washington Blvd. Cleveland Hts., OH 441118 216-321-2930/216-202-0938 *www.ensembletheatrecle.org <http://www.ensembletheatrecle.org>*

And there will be one extra special Sunday Performance during this run TBD. *Auditions:* Take place on August 23 and 24, 2018 from 6:30 to 9:30 pm. Please sign up at www.SignUpGenius.com/go/5080E49A9AD29A2FC1-hayfever <https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080E49A9AD29A2FC1-hayfever> *Location: * Bethel Luthern Church 3852 Everett Road Richfield, Ohio 44286 *Callbacks:* Take place at Western Reserve Playhouse from 2 pm to 4 pm. *Preparation:* Cold readings from the script. *Rehearsals:* Begin Monday October 1 at 6:30 pm. Rehearsals will normally run Sunday through Thursday 6:30 to 9:30 pm. *THE PLAY* *Hay Fever* is a wonderful cross between high farce and an English comedy of bad manners. The play is set in an English country house in the 1920s, and deals with the four eccentric members of the Bliss family and their outlandish behavior when they each invite a guest to spend the weekend. Each – unbeknownst to the rest – invites down a house guest for a quiet weekend! The self-centered behavior of the hosts finally drives their guests to flee, while the Blisses are so engaged in a family row that they do not notice their guests' furtive departure. Hay Fever takes place in the comfortable English country house of the Bliss family. Judith, the mother, is a retired stage actress; David, the father, is a novelist. Their grown children, Simon and Sorel, still live at home. As the play opens, Simon and Sorel are exchanging insults about mutual friends and speculating that their mother is up to something in inviting a young man – who turns out to be called Sandy Tyrell – to the house for the weekend. Meanwhile, Sorel has invited the diplomat Richard Greatham, while Simon adds to the growing household with his guest Myra Arundel. Finally, David comes downstairs from his study to add one last visitor to the list – a young woman named Jackie Coryton. After some internecine squabble and banter, Judith announces her decision to come out of retirement and revive one of her greatest hits, *Love’s Whirlwind*. As she and the children begin to perform one of their favorite scenes from the play, they are interrupted by the arrival of their guests. The family members greet their visitors and then leave them to fend for themselves. And that is just Act One! *THE CHARACTERS (5F, 4M)* *Judith Bliss* – an actress of a certain age who has retired (several times) from the stage. *David Bliss* – her husband, a writer of novels that the entire family argue about; inclined to a little dalliance on the side *Simon Bliss* – their son, a painter of aggressive daubs *Sorel** Bliss* – their daughter, an accomplished instrumentalist (but skills NOT required, though welcome!) Both of the children are every bit as theatrical, as egomaniacal in the nicest possible way, as their parents. *Richard **Greatham* – a career diplomat who “always says something exquisitely diplomatic” *Myra Arundel* – a society lady of whom Judith says “she uses sex like a shrimping net” *Sandy Tyrell* – a younger “anyone for tennis” sporty chap who has fallen in love with Judith having seen her in some dreadful melodrama *Jackie **Coryton* – a scared little thing who has been picked by the husband David *Clara* – the long-suffering maid, who used to be Judith’s dresser, and is quite coarse with it
