The event is $12 per person. $10 for students and seniors with a valid ID. $5 for first timers.

Cheaper by the Dozen Auditions; Carnation City Players
by Michael Ritzert via NEohioPAL 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

Auditions — CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN Auditions: April 17 & 18, 6:00-9:00PM Callbacks: April 19, 6:00-9:00PM Production Dates: June 3, 4 & 10-12, 2016 (Rehearsals will run Sunday - Thursday, April 24–June 2, 6:00–9:00PM) Carnation City Players, 450 E. Market St., Alliance, OH 44601 Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Please bring a headshot, resume (if available) and a list of all potential conflicts. CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN is a funny, heart-warming and family-friendly tale that is based on the true story of the Gilbreth family. Frank Gilbreth Sr., the family patriarch, is well-known for bringing efficiencies into factory workplaces and applies those same principles to his home in an effort to keep his family of 12 children running smoothly. Told from the point of view of two of his children, the story reflects the last few months before their father's death, as Frank Sr. was preparing his family for his imminent departure despite the fact that most of his children were unaware that his passing was near. CHARACTER BREAKDOWN — The production calls for five adult actors (3 women, 2 men) and eleven children. Ages are “playable” ages: MR. GILBRETH (Dad): Early 40s to mid-50s. Carries himself with the self-assurance of a successful man who is proud of his wife and family as well as his business accomplishments. Though a disciplinarian, he loves nothing so much as a good joke, preferably one on himself. MRS. GILBRETH (Mother): Early 40s to mid-50s. A gracious, attractive woman. She is also a psychologist. In her own way she is often able to get better results with her large family more so than her disciplinarian husband. ANNE: The oldest, about 17. Attractive, sweet natured, but stands up to her father. ERNESTINE: About 15. Also the Co-Narrator. MARTHA: About 14. Speaks some German. FRANK JR: About 16. Also the Co-Narrator. BILL, LILLIAN, FRED, DAN, JACKIE: The younger children (ages variable from 5–13). MRS. FITZGERALD: The housekeeper — a kind woman who is completely devoted to the family. Sometimes her patience is tried by the ongoing chaos of the large family (age 40-70). DR. BURTON: The family doctor — a plain spoken man (age 40 - 60). JOE SCALES: Anne's age (about 17) — a very short, cocky cheerleader. MISS BRILL: A teacher who has no love for the children, and they have none for her (age 35 - 50). LARRY: Anne's age (about 17), nice-looking, clean cut boy. Anne's "special friend."
