OPEN AUDITIONS March 2 & 3: Don’t Dress for Dinner a comedy by Marc Camoletti Adapted by Robin Hawdon Bernard is planning a romantic weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in his charming converted French farmhouse, whilst his wife, Jacqueline, is away. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, and has invited his best friend, Robert, along too to provide the alibi. It’s foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Well… suppose Robert turns up not realizing quite why he has been invited. Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers, and consequently determined that Jacqueline will NOT leave for the weekend. Suppose the cook has to pretend to be the mistress and the mistress can’t cook. Suppose everyone’s alibi gets confused with everyone else’s. An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed. * Director — Christopher Bizub * Stage Manager — Britany Bizub * Costumer — Jackie Kruyne * Producers — Cindee Catalano, Mason Stewart Performance Dates * FRIDAY, MAY 17TH – SUNDAY, JUNE 9TH, 2024 <https://cvlt.org/show-item/dont-dress-for-dinner/> * Fridays & Saturdays 7:30pm * Matinees: Sunday June 2 & 9 at 2:00 PM Audition Details * March 2, 2024 — 12:00-3:00pm * March 3, 2024 — 7:30-10:00pm * March 9, 2024 — Callbacks,12:00-3:00pm Auditions to be held in the dance studio at CVLT’s River Street Playhouse, 56 River Street, Chagrin Falls <https://maps.app.goo.gl/dqTPTPWhhjy9H74Z9>.
