Auditions This Week for Barbecuing Hamlet!
by orrville players 09 Aug '22

09 Aug '22

Orrville Community Theater announces auditions for Barbecuing Hamlet! Auditions will be August 10th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm August 12th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm At Christ Church United Church of Christ 301 N Main Street Orrville OH 44667 Directed by Matthew Wilks Ages 16+ Bring a headshot & resume if you have one! Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F44AAA72DA2F9C07-barbecuing Rehearsals will be Monday and Wednesday’s from 6-8 pm and then Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from 6-830pm beginning August 29 Show will be September 23-25, 2022 Rehearsals and Shows will also be held at Christ Church United Church of Christ. CHARACTERS: MARGO DALEY: Smart but reluctant director, in her 30s. SARGE ABBOTT: Handyman with sarcastic wit, in his 50s. HOPE HALLIDAY: Snappish 40-year-old, a bit overweight. DUNCAN O’TOOLE: In his 40s, always has a story to tell. MARY BETH LUMPKIN: Mousy secretary in her late 20s TAMARA LOGAN: Council chairman, chic woman, mid-30s. HAL WEBSTER: Handsome leading man type, 30s. LAMAR BENTORRES: An erratic, inexperienced man, 40s. ZOEY MARCUS: A no-nonsense type, around 30. OPAL BELL: A lady with a lot of pent-up energy, 35-ish. THEODORA VAN HORNE: Theater type, flamboyant, 50s. BUDGIE SERATT: A young pizza delivery man, early 20s. HARLEN DORTMUNGER: Fertilizer salesman and critic. Wouldn't it be great fun to direct William Shakespeare's "Hamlet"? That was what Margo Daley always thought...until she is hired to do just that by the Peaceful Glen Memorial Players in their theater, a renovated funeral home. They DO have a couple of conditions, however. Margo has to make the play a melodrama, so the audience will know when to throw the popcorn. And they can't be too loud because the lady who lives under the theater bangs her cane on the stage. Oh, and Margo has to insert the sponsors' names into the play and, by the way, has to take place in the Old West. "And make sure the actors talk real loud because of all the noise the audience makes sucking their fingers," states one of the council members, an occupational hazard brought about by them selling barbecue before the show. All kinds of eccentric characters come out of the woodwork in this riotous tribute to life on the community theater stage. Even the pizza delivery boy is given parts - several since Margo only has four actors to portray the five-act tragedy. Fast lines and even faster exits punctuate this farce as Margo and her troupe of misguided actors find out what it's like when they begin "Barbecuing Hamlet." Orrville Community Theater is a small, community theater. No compensation for any roles Orrville Community Theater P. O.

by Claudia Lillibridge 09 Aug '22

09 Aug '22

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC) located at 9076 Church Street, Suites 2 and 3, in Twinsburg, is proud to present its second weekend of performances for Tigers Be Still, written by Kim Rosenstock and directed by Alex Nine. Remaining performance dates are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8pm, August 12, 13, 19 and 20. Adult tickets are $15 and Senior/ Students $10. Visit www.twinmasks.org to purchase tickets or call 330-888-3211. *PLEASE NOTE THE PLAY DEALS WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND DEPRESSION AND CONTAINS STRONG ADULT LANGUAGE - NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18.* Cast includes: Andreea Ciabanu as Sherry; Gabriella Terranova as Grace; Will Landis as Zack; and Tim Hirzel as Joseph. Tigers Be Still is a comedy that follows the misadventures of Sherry Wickman, a young woman who has recently earned her master's degree in art therapy only to find herself moving back home with her family, sending out countless resumes and waiting for a job offer that never comes. Unemployed and overwhelmed, Sherry retreats to her childhood bed and remains there until an unexpected employment opportunity gives her a renewed sense of purpose and hope. Now if only her mother would come downstairs, her sister would get off the couch, her very first therapy patient would do just one of his take-home assignments, her new boss would leave his gun at home, and someone would catch the tiger that escaped from the local zoo, everything would just be perfect.
