Long Days

Rehearsals May 19-June 11

Performances June 12-29

By Gabe McKinley

World Premiere production about a group of actors putting on a production of O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night at a regional theatre. What ensues is a tragic and sometimes darkly humorous overlapping of themes with a deliciously compelling plot about what happens “behind the scenes.”

Seeking:

Vic: (20) female-presenting BIPOC, exhuberant actress turned stage manager

Jack: (50s) handsome and often hungover director of a failing theatre; father of Wes

Sue: (50s) serious stage actress with regrets of being caught up in the regional scene

Wes: (20s) actor, son of Jack, who is unsure of the life he’s been given

Bobby: (20s) talented and driven actor on his way to the big time

Sweeney Todd

Rehearsals July 15-August 6

Performances Aug 7-24

Book by Hugh Wheeler
From an Adaptation by Christopher Bond
Originally Directed On Broadway by Harold Prince
Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick
Originally Produced on Broadway by Richard Barr, Charles Woodward, Robert Fryer, Mary Lea Johnson, Martin Richards In Association with Dean and Judy Manos

A bloody, worldwide success since being awarded eight Tony Awards for its Broadway premiere. Stephen Sondheim's and Hugh Wheeler's tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed, and delighted audiences across the world.

Sweeney Todd is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

Seeking:

Anthony: (20s) a naive and youthful sailor returning to London. He rescues Todd and unexpectedly falls in love with Johanna. Strong, brave and full of the joys of the world. He has yet to inhabit the cynical qualities of Todd. He grows more and more terrified of the world around him. Vocal range: Tenor - Bb2-F4

Joanna: (needs to appear 16) a high-spirited girl, full of innocence with a flirtatious demeanor. She is constantly yearning for freedom. Todd's long-lost daughter and Judge Turpin's ward. Vocal range: Soprano - Bb3-A5 Audition

Tobias: (16-20s) a poor simpleton youngster apprenticed to Pirelli and who finds a surrogate mother in Lovett. He is loyal, truthful and innocent to a fault with a heart of gold and a sharp eye. He does not trust Todd. Vocal range: Tenor - Bb2-Ab4.

Beggar Woman (Lucy): (30s) an eerie, poor soul living on the streets of London making her living prostituting herself to sailors at London docks. She is a deranged and schizophrenic woman who harbors a dark, surprising secret. She is Todd’s wife unrecognizable, but a consistent character through the show. Her interjections go unheeded. Vocal range: Mezzo - Ab3 - F5

Judge Turpin: (50 plus) a lecherous, corrupt and evil public official who portrays himself as sanctimonious. He takes advantage of his position in the city and is responsible for imprisoning Todd. He lusts after Joanna. Vocal range Bass - E2-Gb4.

Beadle Bamford: (30s-50) a pompous public official, deeply loyal to Judge Turpin. He is eager, violent, unscrupulous and terrorizing. Vocal range: High Tenor - D3-D5

Adolfo Pirelli: (30s-40s) An Irish charlatan and former employee of Todd’s who has since developed a public persona as a flashy and flamboyant Italian barber. He is crooked, calculating and conniving with a hot temper. A comedic role. Both Italian and Irish accents are required. Vocal range: High Tenor - B2-C5

Ensemble/Understudies: 2-3 male presenting (tenor/bass) and 2 -3 female presenting (soprano/alto)

Noises Off

Rehearsals Aug 25-Sep 17

Performances Sep 18- Oct 5

By Michael Frayn

Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off by Michael Frayn presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.

Noises Off is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
