NEEDING: 4 African-American Males
by James Charpie via NEohioPAL 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

*August Wilson's Radio Golf* East Cleveland Theater is hosting auditions for August Wilson's Radio Golf. Part of Wilson's, The Century Cycle, it is the last play in his 10-play series. Radio Golf takes place in Pittsburgh, PA, in the 1990s. We are looking for 4 African-American male actors. *Synopsis:* What price would you pay in order to stay true to yourself and beliefs? This is the dilemma we confront in Radio Golf. Surrounded by a backdrop of politics, ambitions, traditions and friendships, all involved must answer this question for themselves. *The Roles:* *Harmond Wilks*: African American (male, middle-age) A real-estate developer, Ivy League-educated, well-spoken and ambitious. He inherited the business from his father but he has big dreams of a very prominent future in politics as well. While in the midst of a big housing development project potentially worth millions, he is running to be the first African-American Mayor of Pittsburgh. Harmond is honest to a fault and committed to his beliefs. *Roosevelt Hicks: *African American (male, middle age) Recently promoted to a vice-presidential position at Mellon Bank, Roosevelt is clever and a bit of a hustler. His education is average but he has worked hard to get what he has. He is determined to overcome what he perceives as the limitations placed on him by society and is willing to risk almost anything to do it. A long-time friend of Harmond, he is involved in the real-estate deal and mayoral campaign. *Sterling Johnson:* African American (male, middle age) A neighborhood handyman/contractor, poorly educated and an old time friend of Harmond. Life has not been kind to Sterling so he is very rough around the edges but deceptively street smart. He robbed a bank many years ago and paid the price. Sterling has learned to be a hustler through experience but wants what everyone wants, a good life. *Elder Joseph Barlow:* African American (male, older) He seems like the nicest man you could ever meet but Elder Joseph hides a dark past. He presents an addled and feeble demeanor with a wink and a smile but he has a criminal record that stretches back many, many years. He is very clever and sly in the way he hooks his victims. That is how he has gotten through life. Harmond is his latest. *Director: Jim Weaver, SDC* *Audition Dates:* Thursday, October 27, 2016, starting at 6pm. Please call 330-416-1311, or email, jcharpie(a)eastclevelandtheater.org, to schedule a time. These auditions are by appointment only. If you cannot make Thursday evening, please call anyway … we would like to know when you are available for an audition. *Show Dates:* Shows on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 11 shows total Opening: Friday, February 03, 2017 Closing: Sunday, February 26, 2017 Friday and Saturday shows start at 8pm Sunday shows start at 3pm EXCEPTION: There be no show on Sunday, February 05, 2017 … Super Bowl Sunday. *Rehearsals:* This will be a split rehearsal schedule, meaning that we will have 2 weeks of rehearsals in December, 2016 (before Christmas), and then pick up with rehearsals starting the week of January 08, 2017. Exact dates for both the December and January time frames have not been determined. If you are concerned, please show up at auditions and tell us your limitations. East Cleveland Theater is a community theater celebrating its 48th Season. Our actors, like most of our personnel, are unpaid volunteers. We hope you will join us as we entertain and challenge our audiences. If you have questions, please call James Charpie at 330-416-1311, or email me at jcharpie(a)eastclevelandtheater.org.
