From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this is the musical that’s too good to be true. The Four Seasons were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard… and the radio just couldn’t get enough of them. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, the reality of the off-stage clash and conflicts threatened to tear the group apart. JERSEY BOYS is packed with their hits, including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Oh What a Night,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” and many more. Director — SANDY K.

by services＠auroracommunitytheatre.com 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

Director Kate Smith is seeking outgoing, comedic actors with lots of energy who can handle the fast paced show. Casting four actors, ages 18+. AUDITION DATES Sunday, March 30: 7 PM - 9 PM Monday, March 31: 7 PM - 9 PM PERFORMANCE DATES June 13-28, 2025 Friday/Saturday 7:30 PM Sunday Matinee 2 PM Audition signups now open! https://www.auroracommunitytheatre.com/upcoming-auditions THE STORY Based on the famous Alfred Hitchcock movie, the play calls for the entire 1935 adventure film to be performed with a cast of only four. One actor plays the hero, Richard Hannay, an actress plays the three women with whom he has romantic entanglements, and two other actors play every other character in the show: heroes, villains, men, women, children, and even the occasional inanimate object. In The 39 Steps, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale. A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure! AUDITION PROCESS Auditions will consist of cold reads and some basic movement exercises. Please bring a hardcopy resume. CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS Richard Hannay 20’s - 50’s. Male presenting. Any race or ethnicity. 1930s leading man type. Suave, dashing and debonair. Intelligent and resourceful. Actor must be able to maintain an upper-class British accent and be an adept physical comic with the stamina to be present for the entire play. Annabella/Pamela/Margaret 20’s - 50’s. Female presenting. Any race or ethnicity. Primarily the classic 1930s British ingenue, but also plays a Russian woman and a Scottish farmer. Must be able to perform all of the applicable accents.

Come See The Half-Life of Marie Curie at Clague Playhouse
by Clague Playhouse 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

*The Half-Life of Marie Curie* by Lauren Gunderson Directed by Anne McEvoy Playing at Clague Playhouse Friday, March 21st through Sunday, April 13th, 2024. Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 2PM. *Stay for a Talk-Back Discussion with the Cast & Crew after the show on Saturday, March 22nd and Sunday, March 30th.* In 1911, Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium. By 1912, she was the object of ruthless gossip over an alleged affair with the married Frenchman Paul Langevin, all but erasing her achievements from public memory. Weakened and demoralized by the press lambasting her as a “foreign” Jewish temptress and a homewrecking traitor, Marie agrees to join her friend and colleague Hertha Ayrton, an electromechanical engineer and suffragette, at her summer home in England. The Half-Life of Marie Curie revels in the power of female friendship as it explores the relationship between these two brilliant women, both of whom are mothers, widows, and fearless champions of scientific inquiry. "A frisky, feminist crowd-pleaser, THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE radiates empowerment—which is fitting, since it centers on the woman who coined the term radioactivity. …enlightening and entertaining.” —Time Out New York. Our cast features Jess Antrobus as Marie Curie and Carrie Williams as Hertha Ayrton. You can also read some of the director's insights on the Clague Playhouse website: https://clagueplayhouse.org/index.php/currentseason/mariecurie/ <https://clagueplayhouse.org/index.php/currentseason/opus/> Visit bit.ly/ClaguePlayhouseTickets to buy tickets or call the box office at 440-331-0403 (open Wednesday-Saturday 1-6PM).
