Thank you to all who auditioned!
Auditions for Moon Over Buffalo!
Auditions for Moon Over Buffalo Sunday, January 30th at 6:30pm!
ABOUT THE SHOW
In the madcap comedy tradition of Lend Me a Tenor, the hilarious Moon Over Buffalo centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950s. At the moment, they’re playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, New York with five actors. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, abetted by a visit from their daughter’s clueless fiancé and hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing, caused by Charlotte’s deaf, old stage-manager mother who hates every bone in George’s body.
All auditioners must be prepared for a cold read.
List of Characters and Age Range:
George Hay male age 50's
Charlotte Hay female 50's
Richard- Male 50's
Ethel- female late 60's-70's
Rosalind- female mid to late 20's
Howard- male mid to late 20's

ABOUT THE SHOW
"Using music as an integral part of the storytelling, Blue spans nearly twenty years in the life of the affluent African American Clark family in rural South Carolina.
Events are seen through the eyes of the eldest son Reuben, who evolves from a preteen trumpet player into an adult artist.
His mother, a relentlessly chic matriarch with dark secrets who is out of place in the her provincial surroundings, holds court at family gatherings.
She lays out grandiose plans for her two sons while the mesmerizing music of sexy jazz singer Blue Williams adds a unique dimension.
Meanwhile, her husband runs a profitable funeral home, grandmother offers unsolicited advice and Ruben's brother runs with the girls.
This humorous family portrait abounds with tenderness, acceptance and the search for unconditional love
while introducing audiences to an African American family the likes of which is seldom portrayed on stage or screen."
Written by playwright Charles Randolph-Wright
Directed by Kaula Johnson.
Show runs February 4th-13th, 2022

Congratulations to the Cast of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!
Thank you to all that auditioned.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Auditions
Wednesday, October 20th & Thursday, October 21st, 2021
7pm
Audition Information:
Plan to sing ONE MINUTE of a song with an accompaniment track.
The track should have JUST the background music, no vocals (karaoke tracks always work!).
The track can be on your phone or other device. We will have someone there to start it for you.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
“The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world–so when they crash Sunday school and demand parts in the Christmas pageant, the whole town panics.
It’s up to Bradley and the Reverend to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes in this buoyant musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic.”
Audition Tips:
1. Become familiar with the show. Google and YouTube are good options for research.
2. What character interests you? Choose your song to best portray that type of character and the type of songs the character sings.
Do your research!
3. Song choice is important. Choose a song that is best for YOU, not a song that you really like.
You will have 60 seconds to sing your heart out, so make it worth it!
4. Start where you want. Choose the best place to start in the song, which may not be the beginning.
5. Present yourself well. Dress to impress - no t-shirts and shorts, and save the leggings for when we learn dances.
6. Be prepared. Don’t try to wing it at the last minute. Nerves will get the best of you and it will show.
7. Smile. It’s always your best feature, so use it!
8. Breathe. Take a moment, take a deep breath. It will lower your heart rate and make you feel better.
9. Don’t sweat the small stuff. If you make a mistake, just stop and start over. See #6 and #7.
10. Be polite. It is courteous and appreciated by the production staff.

CLUE Audition Notice!
Sunday, September 26th at 7pm
Actors are asked to prepare a minute-long contemporary, comedic monologue and demonstrate a short impression and/or talent.
Though not required, actors are highly encouraged to dress formally.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
“Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery.
The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu.
When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects.”
Clue runs November 5th - 14th
From the Director:
During auditions after each monologue, you will be asked if you have a talent you would like to demonstrate or an impression that you are good at.
This is an open request to see what talent you are proud of to add individuality to your audition. If you can do an impression of a celebrity, animal, object...
this will give me a sense of your movability and ability to do voices or accents. Additionally, if I find a talent or impression that I am able to use in the show...
that will add another layer to the performance. During auditions, I want to see your ability, range, and personality...
I want to get to know YOU.
See you at the theatre!
