The role is Mr. Darcy -- “FITZWILLIAM DARCY (scripted age 30) A loving, generous, and smart (if slightly stiff) husband to Elizabeth. He is quiet and vigilant and thus sees what others often miss.

LCCC Theatre Auditions for SHE KILLS MONSTERS
by Jeremy Benjamin 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

She Kills Monsters By Qui Nguyen Directed by Stephanie Wilbert Lorain County Community College announces non-equity auditions for our upcoming production of *She Kills Monsters.* We are seeking 10+ performers and various production positions for this production. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050944A8AF28ABFB6-50868505-she Story Synopsis: *She Kills Monsters* tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. However, when Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, she finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister’s refuge. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all. *Roles are available for 10+ actors of all genders and ages.* · *Agnes Evans*: Agnes is described as striving to live an average life. She is of average height, size, and build, and grew up in the average town of Athens, Ohio <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athens,_Ohio> with average parents. Agnes is a 25-year-old English teacher at her and Tilly's former high school. After Tilly's death, Agnes decides to go on a D&D adventure to feel closer to Tilly, as they never had a close relationship. · *Tilly Evans/Tillius the Paladin*: Agnes's sister who dies in a car crash at the age of fifteen. Tilly has a love for D&D adventures, and anything classified as nerdy or geeky. Through the D&D module Agnes plays, it is learned that Tilly was facing her own challenges with her sexuality <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexuality> and bullying while she was still alive. In the game, her girlfriend is Lilith, who is later learned to be based on one of her friends named Lilly (or Elizabeth). · *Miles*: Agnes's boyfriend of five years. During the original version of the play, Miles and Agnes are in the process of moving in together. Miles is shown to fear commitment for not proposing to Agnes; however, at the end of the play the Narrator reveals that they eventually did get married. He appears in the game as a shapeshifting "gelatinous cube" that Agnes must kill. · *Orcus* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orcus>*/Ronnie*: A demon <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon> overlord of the underworld that holds onto lost souls or knows where to find them. He is obsessed with watching television. The party travels to him first to ask about the Lost Soul of Athens. He later joins the party on their quest. He is based on one of Tilly's high school friends named Ronnie. · *Vera*: Agnes's best friend in both versions of the play, the difference being in the original she is the school's counselor and in the YA version she works at a GAP outlet store. She is supportive of Agnes but does not approve of Miles. · *Chuck*: A member of Tilly's friend group and the Dungeon Master <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Master> for the game. He helps Agnes throughout the module and introduces her to Tilly's other real-life friends. · *Lilith Morningstar/Lilly*: A Demon Queen that resembles a leather-clad dominatrix <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominatrix> and is Tilly's girlfriend in the game. Lilith is based on Tilly's high school friend Lilly, who was Tilly's first kiss but is still in the closet <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coming_out>. · *Kaliope Darkwalker/Kelly*: Kaliope is a Dark Elf <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drow> that is described as looking like a supermodel and is incredibly strong. She is based on Tilly's high school friend Kelly, who is Ronnie's sister. · *Narrator*: Describes the events going on in the story and gives background description of the reason behind the story and the characters of Agnes and Tilly. The narrator is described as sounding like Cate Blanchett <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cate_Blanchett> from *The Lord of the Rings* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_(film_series)>. · *Steve*: In real life he is one of Tilly's classmates. In the game he is a mage <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mage_(fantasy)> that usually is on the receiving end of bosses showing how powerful they are, resulting in his death multiple times over. · *Farrah*: A fairy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy> and one of the bosses Agnes and her party must face before they can reach the final boss. · *Evil Gabbi* and *Evil Tina*: Cheerleader succubi <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succubus> that torment Tilly, in particular about her sexuality, both in the game and when she was alive. They are based on Tilly's high school bullies. LCCC Theatre embraces diversity and inclusion and utilizes a non-traditional casting policy.

SIGN UP LINK UPDATE for AUDITIONS for the OTH "Night of One-Acts"
by Dena M. Warmuth 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

Here is the sign up link for the auditions described below: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B49A9AB2FABF85-51097606-auditions Auditions in (2) Weeks!!! Sign Up Now to reserve your spot !!! Olde Towne Hall Theatre, Inc. Announces auditions for: *The Typists* and *The Tiger* Two one-act plays by Murray Schisgal (both plays will be a part of a “Night of One-Acts” event running Nov. 15-17, 2024) Directed by: Dena M. Warmuth Produced by: Sharon Godsey Stage Managed by: Holly Masterson WHEN: Sunday, September 22, 2024 - from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM Monday, September 23, 2024 - from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM PLAY SYNOPSIS: *The Typists* tells the story of two office workers, spending their lives as typists. When Paul Cunningham reports for work addressing postcards for a mail-order house, he makes it clear to his fellow worker, Sylvia Payton, that his employment is strictly temporary. Paul, a married man, is studying law at night, and with his uncle already in successful practice there is every hope that his future will be a promising one. Sylvia, the "supervisor" of the two-employee office, has a few dreams herself – mostly of the romantic variety so often indulged in by not so young spinsters with widowed mothers to support. Paul and Sylvia hit it off well, and as Paul's "temporary" tenure stretches on from weeks to months to years they become involved in the shared experiences of close daily contact. And, within the short span of the play, they begin to age and gradually grow old at their desks. While they go on sharing the important details of their lives and of the bright future that will be coming up any day, the futility of their existence becomes increasingly evident. And when they finally dodder off with friendly "good night" to their unseen employer we have witnessed a cycle of life complete with the humor, sadness, self-delusion and reconciliation that underlie and infuse the human condition. *The Tiger* is the tale of a kidnapper and his victim; eventually their relationship grows into mutual affection and respect. Ben is a naturally bright but slightly unstrung young man in revolt against a system which consigns him to being a disgruntled mail carrier and to living in a tumble-down basement apartment. In a gesture of defiance he kidnaps a young woman and drags her to his lair, the object being that she, at least, will do as and what he orders – fulfilling the urge for domination that life has hitherto denied him. At first Ben is abrupt and sharp with his victim, playing cat and mouse with her in the hope that she will begin to panic and squirm. But while Gloria, a suburban housewife and mother, is hardly used to this sort of thing, she also an equally complicated relationship to the world. At first she must listen, but soon she is the one who leads the touching and funny conversation that ensues. Mutual confessions and confidences are forthcoming, and by the time Ben reveals that his dream of becoming a teacher was shattered by an inability to cope with French, Gloria is ready and willing to take on the job of tutoring him. But he sticks to his resolve to have his way with her and she, in turn, fools him again by being less the protesting victim than the willing conspirator. In the end he lets her go – but already she is making plans to drop by every Thursday when her dull husband will take it for granted that she is off playing bridge with friends.
