AUDITIONS Monday, November 25 at 7 p.m. And Tuesday, November 26 at 7 p.m Performance dates: January 16, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26 This is the odd couple audiences have come to know and love, but with a twist. This time it’s “lived-in look” Olive Madison who takes in the perpetual “neat nick” Florence Unger after her marriage breaks up. Instead of guys playing poker, the gals have a go at Trivial Pursuit. The Pigeon sisters are replaced by the hilarious Manolo and Jesus. This Neil Simon classic is packed with laughs and surprises as Olive and Florence battle it out! Director Shelbey Linder is looking for 6 females and 2 males Olive Madison (Lead): Female. Attractive, divorced, professional, vibrant, active, quick-witted, big-hearted, but also relentlessly sloppy and careless when it comes to the routine concerns of her personal life. She is very much at home in running shorts and a t-shirt and still looks smashing in a cocktail dress. The female counterpart to the original play's Oscar Madison. She is a woman seriously in need of order in her life. Florence Unger (Lead): Female, attractive homemaker/housewife and very recently separated from her husband, was a bookkeeper before she married, extremely "pulled together" (obsessively so), pathologically organized and neat, even sanitizes the telephone cord. Her personality is the complete antithesis of Olive's personality. The female counterpart to the original play's Felix Unger. A woman who badly needs to cut loose, give it up, take a risk. Mickey (Supporting): Female. A New York City policewoman and an organizer and problem solver. Vera (Supporting): Female. a bit literal-minded and a bit slow to get a point that everyone else gets instantly always seems "a few beats behind the conductor." Sylvie (Supporting): Female. highly energized and a wise-cracker. Renee (Supporting): Female, A wisecracker and a bit of a complainer as well. Manolo Costazuela (Supporting): Male. Handsome, very well-groomed, and Spanish with a Castilian accent; he is every woman's dream date and showers both Olive and Flo with attention; he must have good comic timing, as he gets very emotional; he is sensitive and appreciates Florence's sensitivity. Jesus Costazuela (Supporting)Manolo’s younger brother; also very handsome, well-groomed, excellent posture, very romantic; he also gets very emotional and truly appreciates Florence. -- Workshop Players 44820 Middle Ridge Road, Amherst, OH 44001 Box Office: 440-988-5613 (Box Office hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.) contact@workshopplayers.com www.workshopplayers.com "If all the world's a stage, I want better lighting!"
