*Workshop Players Theater* * 44820 Middle Ridge Road Amherst, OH 44001* *What to prepare: *Auditions will consist of cold reading from the script. Resume and headshot encouraged but not require. All ages and ethnicities are encouraged to audition! *February 1st at 7 pm. at the theater* *Performance dates:* March 31st – April 14th *Cast of Characters * * William Gillette:* Strikingly handsome man, smartly dressed, good-humored, full of irony and life. A sort of modern day Ulysses. Sort of Frasier-like with a hint of John Lithgow’s Dick Solomon; comical because he takes himself so seriously. *Martha Gillette:* Gillette’s mother, a smartly dressed, somewhat vague and dithering woman in her mid-70s. *Felix* *Geisel*: histrionic and arch in a Lionel Barrymore/Sir Toby Belch sort of way. *Madge Geisel:* flamboyant and wry in a Rosalind Russell smart-mouthed-gal- about-town sort of way. *Simon Bright:* 25ish, Sweet and enthusiastic, a charmer. * Aggie* *Wheeler*: 25ish, beautiful, bright-eyed and full of spunk. *Inspector Goring:* 40’s ish, eccentric and one of a kind. One minute she seems wry and clever, the next minute she’s off into a world of her own. She gets things wrong without even knowing it, yet she also seems just the sort of person who can find you out when you’re lying. That makes her formidable. *Daria Chase:* gorgeous, glamorous. She’s one of those people you can’t take your eyes off of; and despite all of her show-biz cattiness, you can’t help liking her-or at least admiring her. She has a sense of humor and has invented herself from the ground up, which is no mean feat. I am not really married to any ages… so long as the actors can portray or suggest the age/characteristic of the characters. So, I guess I am saying it is a suggestion of age in the script for me. Except of course for Martha… *Kristina Rivera * Please direct your questions to the director: Kristina Rivera Kriverakr35@gmail.com -- 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!"
