Auditions for The Mousetrap at Clague Playhouse: 6/25 & 6/26
by Clague Playhouse 12 Jun '25

12 Jun '25

*Upcoming Auditions for the Opening Show of Clague Playhouse's 98th Season!* *The Mousetrap *by Agatha ChristieAudition Dates: Wednesday, June 25th and Thursday, June 26th at the Playhouse from 7:00-9:00 pm Directed by Ron Newell *Show Dates:* 9/12/2025 - 10/5/2025, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30PM and Sundays at 2PM Please bring resume and headshot, if available. If you don't have a headshot, Clague will shoot one at auditions. No appointment is necessary. You can fill out audition form onsite or from website. Please print and bring with you. It will be cold readings from script. The story: After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time. Characters: MOLLIE RALSTON – A newlywed who has inherited Monkswell Manor and has opened it as a guesthouse with her husband. A hospitable and warm, if slightly naive, hostess and cook. GILES RALSTON – The more cautious proprietor of Monkswell Manor. Supportive of his wife, but less thrilled to run a guesthouse. A traditional gentleman who’s quick to judge his guests. CHRISTOPHER WREN – A young architect with a flamboyant and often inappropriate sense of humor. His energetic conversation can appear both lighthearted and sinister. MRS. BOYLE – A retiree whose acerbic tone makes her a challenging guest. Strong-willed and uncompromising, with high expectations. Pleased only when expressing disappointment. MAJOR METCALF – An affable guest who is willing to help his hosts cope with the consequences of the snowstorm. Retired from the army, steady and calm in the face of conflict. MISS CASEWELL – A modern and somewhat aloof young woman travelling on business. Unwilling to discuss private matters and disinterested in the opinion of her fellow guests. MR. PARAVICINI – A roguish gentleman who is not forthcoming about his reasons for being there. Delights in the guests’ uncertainty and pays particular attention to his hostess, Mollie. DETECTIVE SGT. TROTTER – The young detective assigned to reach Monkswell Manor and report on the situation as it unfolds. Determined and authoritative in his pursuit of the truth. - - - - - - - - - Clague Playhouse, Inc. 1371 Clague Road Westlake, OH 44145 info(a)ClaguePlayhouse.org <info(a)clagueplayhouse.org> 440-331-0403 www.ClaguePlayhouse.org <http://www.clagueplayhouse.org/> *Follow us on **Facebook* <https://www.facebook.com/ClaguePlayhouse/>*!*

Acting up @ CBG FALLS w/ WRP - Open Mic
by August Scarpelli 11 Jun '25

11 Jun '25

Join us from the Barn at our monthly installment of Acting Up at the Chestnut Beer Garden (CBG Falls) for our open mic and readings series. Wednesday June 18th from 6pm-8pm, this month we are PREPARING THE FEAST. For us, the summer @WRP is a true feast. In a couple of different ways. Our upcoming production of Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party is a sexy and dangerous feast for all the senses. A steamy prohibition tale, steamrolling and roaring its way across the stage, Andrew Lippa's Wild Party was an Off-Broadway gem that garnered an array of industry accolades, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Obie awards. Based on Joseph Moncure March's 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written. At CBG we will have a reading of the original narrative poem, and maybe, just maybe some surprise visit from some of our cast. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE This summer's outdoor traveling production is it's own Feast of Fools as we will be staging Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, so our theme for this open mic will be revelry and tom-foolery, bring your jokes, your stand up routine, and all of your stories that are just too funny to believe. See you soon! And if you are not able to join us this month, we will be there monthly :) July 16 August 20 Sept 17 Oct 15 Nov 19 Dec 17 -- August Scarpelli Artistic Director Western Reserve Playhouse Operations Manager Cain Park august(a)thewrp.org (440)654-3624 -- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

AUDITIONS for Moon Over Buffalo at Broadview Heights Spotlights
by Christopher Bizub 11 Jun '25

11 Jun '25

Broadview Heights Spotlights Community Theater <https://broadview-heights-spotlights.org/theater/> is excited to announce our next production: MOON OVER BUFFALO By Ken Ludwig Directed by Chris Bizub In the madcap comedy tradition of Lend Me a Tenor, the hilarious Moon Over Buffalo centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950s. At the moment, they’re playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, New York with five actors. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, abetted by a visit from their daughter’s clueless fiancé and hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing, caused by Charlotte’s deaf, old stage-manager mother who hates every bone in George’s body PERFORMANCES: August 29th-September 13th Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30pm Sundays at 3:00pm Broadview Heights Spotlights Cultural Arts Building AUDITIONS: Sunday, June 22nd, 2025 - 7:00PM-10:00PM Wednesday, June 25th, 2025 - 7:30PM-10:00PM AUDITION APPOINTMENTS: Please sign-up for a 30-minute group slot at the link below: CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR A GROUP AUDITION SLOT <https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0548ADAF2BA6F94-57231990-auditions> WHAT TO PREPARE: *Actors should bring a headshot or recent picture, and resume (if you have one) *A list of conflicts from July 19th to September 13th *Auditions will consist of readings from the script AUDITION/REHEARSAL LOCATION: Broadview Heights Spotlights Cultural Arts Building 9543 Broadview Rd, Broadview Heights, OH 44147 CALLBACKS: Sunday, June 29th from 7:00PM-9:30PM [if needed] CHARACTERS: George Hay: (40’s-60’s) is very dramatic, a slapstick type, over-the-top actor. As leader of his own acting troupe, George has always had aspirations to be famous. He’s a bit of a ladies man but really is devoted to his wife, Charlotte. The actor must be able to do strong physical comedy, which could include pratfalls, running, stage slaps, stage combat, etc. Charlotte Hay: (40’s-60’s) is very much a drama queen. She helps to run the acting troupe and plays all the leads, even the ones she’s a bit old for. She is a consummate actress who still has dreams of being a star–at all costs! She loves George but is getting tired of his philandering. She has to be able to do an upper-class British accent. Some physical comedy required. Ethel: (60’s+) is Charlotte’s mother–close to her daughter, but not happy with her daughter’s choice of a husband. She is also an actress–very witty, and doesn’t take any crap from anyone! She is very hard of hearing, which leads to comic misunderstandings. Rosalind Hay: (20’s-30's) George and Charlotte’s daughter, used to be an actress and a member of their acting troupe, but she decided that she wanted a real career, so she left–determined never to act again–or be like her parents! Rosalind is, in fact, always repressing her dramatic side, but it’s a losing battle by the end. She has a new fiancé, Howard, but she used to be in love with an actor in her parent’s troupe, Paul. The actress has to also be able to do an upper-class British accent. Howard: (20’s-30’s) is Rosalind’s fiancé–a weatherman–so he considers himself to be in the “acting” business. He comes across as a wimp, a little annoying, nervous, and very excitable. The actor must be able to do strong physical comedy. Eileen: (20’s-30's) is an aspiring actress, eager to please. She has a crush on George and has been having a fling with him. Eileen wants to be a leading actress with the company, and she comes across very flighty and naïve, but ultimately will do anything to get what she wants. She can be played as a bit manipulative. Paul: (20’s-30’s) is a member of the acting troupe, who used to be with Rosalind and still loves her and wants her back; but he is an actor first and foremost, so he wouldn’t leave the troupe to be with her. Paul has a quiet, subtle sense of humor and often holds the company together. The actor must be able to do an upper-class British accent and must be able to do strong physical comedy. Richard: (40's-60’s) He is George and Charlotte’s attorney, but he is in love with Charlotte–always trying to get her to leave George. He is wealthy and used to getting what he wants, and he is both amused and perplexed by the Hay family. If you have any questions or would like to audition for this production, but are unable to attend regular auditions, please contact the director at bizchris85(a)gmail.com feel free to reach out with any questions you may have regarding the production.
