Auditions for "Pressure"
by Clay Nielsen 22 May '25

22 May '25

Auditions! Arlene’s Broadway on Buffalo (ABOB) would like to invite you to audition at the theater 236 Buffalo Street, Conneaut Ohio 44030. Auditions will be held June 7th 1pm to 3pm and June 8th 7pm to 9pm. Pressure is a powerful, moving, historical drama by David Haig. Set in the days leading up to the D Day invasion, it deals with the timing of the mission based on the unpredictable British weather. Performance dates have been strategically selected to integrate with the nation’s largest D-Day re-enactment. Shows will be August 13, 14, 15, 22, 23 at 7:30 pm and August 24 at 2:30pm. This show requires 16 talented adult actors (2 women 14 men), ages 18-70, who have the range and depth to portray actual historical people operating under the pressures of war, command responsibility and deep personal concerns. Historical Characters General Dwight D Eisenhower (50s) - Ike is the Supreme Commander of the Allied forces. He is a powerful, competent man of good humor and quiet dignity, but capable of showing humility and vulnerability. Dr James Stagg (40s)— Stagg is fact-focused, blunt-speaking Scottish meteorologist who was been tasked to lead the weather task force which is the basis of this play. His great sense of responsibility and patriotism leads him to accept this post, despite very serious family issues at home. Colonel Irving Krick (late 30s)— Athough Krick is the American counterpart to Stagg on the meteorological task force, these men could not be more different. This conflict moves much of the action in the play, Irv is a slick, smooth-talking Hollywood weatherman. He is very competent, but has the impetuousness of his youth. Lt. Kay Summersby (30s) — In an environment dominated by male characters, Kay is the leading lady. Kay is the personal assistant to Ike. She is efficient, intelligent and compassionate. The great range and subtlety of her emotional responses makes this an absolute star vehicle and demands an actress of great skill. Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory (50s) — British Air Chief Marshal Leigh-Mallory is a no nonsense, opinionated officer, personally chosen by Ike for this position, because of Leigh-Mallory’s expertise in the field of joint operations: cooperation and coordination between ground troops and Air forces. Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay (60s)— Bertie is a career Royal navy man of Scottish heritage. Quiet, thoughtful, deliberate, he is the Commander in chief of the allied naval forces, and the man who orchestrated the evacuation of Dunkirk earlier in the war. General Carl A Spaatz (pronounced SPOTS) (50s)— “Tooey” is senior air commander in the European theater who initiated day time strategic bombing. This Pennsylvania native is a strong believer in taking the fight to the enemy. Fictional Characters Fl. Lt Andrew Carter (20s-40s) —young, enthusiastic and very excited to be working alongside Dr Stagg Young Meteorologist (20s-30s) — sharp, efficient, helpful Electrician (60s) — semi-retired British tradesman brought in to help install telephones. He is a talkative, unintentionally funny observer of the historical activity occurring around him Captain Johns (30s-50s) — excellent staff officer, keeps things running smoothly and all parties working efficiently Commander Franklin (20s-50s)- British meteorologist, quick witted, eager to help Lieutenant Battersby (20s-40s) — Youthful, keen meteorologist on the team An Aide, A Secretary, A Sailor — walk on, non speaking roles
