Auburn Players auditions for Two Women & a Chair announced

The Auburn Players announces: AUDITIONS for "Two Women & a Chair" by Michael Olsen will be Sunday Sept. 12 at CCC in the Black Box theatre from 5-7:30. The actual audition will consist of readings from the script and some Improv work. While a prepared monolog is NOT required, a 1 minute monolog will certainly be listened to. This play will be performed as part of an "Evening of One-acts" on Oct. 8,9,10 There are parts for 2 females: Jessie- innocent, inexperienced; late teens to early 20's Martine- Jaded, strong-willed; mid 20's to early 30's Note- due to action in the play the 2 actresses MUST be of similar body type. Synopsis: Two actors, Jessie and Martine, arrive at an audition to discover only a bare room with a mysterious black chair. The only instructions on what they should do are contained on the flyer advertising the play, and it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary audition; or is it an audition at all? Will they obey the cryptic instructions? What of Damian, the director? Is this all a plot to get back at Martine, or is there something more? The answers, as always, lie in the choices Jessie and Martine are about to make. For further information or reading scripts contact the director, Bob Frame: framer@cayuga-cc.edu; 685-8193

Final Audition for Prisoner of Second Avenue

This Tuesday, April 6, 2010 marks the final chance to audition for the wildly funny, "dark comedy" Neil Simon's, Prisoner of Second Avenue. Although originally presented in the early 70s, the play seems to be recounting the problems of the day, including barking dogs, unemployment, recession, tension between men and women and just too much traffic and too many people.

The comedy will be presented at the Auburn Public Theater; May 14, 15 and 16. The final audition of the 6th is at 7PM in the APT Cinema.

The producer, Marcus Brumberger is looking for additional talent in lights, sound, props, costumes, backstage and carpentry. Those interested should attend the audition at APT, 108 Genesee St., Auburn, NY.. or send email to showmen65@yahoo.com.

The play will be directed by Tom Hoey, who recently directed Ted Davenports, Romero and Miss Julie for the Auburn Players at Cayuga Community College in Auburn.

EXIT THE BODY - AUDITIONS!

Auditions will be held on Thursday and Friday, December 11 & 12 from 7 – 9 pm, and on Saturday, December 13, from 2 – 4 pm, for the February/March production of Exit The Body. Director Jon J Barden is looking for a cast of 5 men and 5 women for this hilarious farce by Fred Carmichael. Here are the descriptions and approximate age range of the characters: Lillian Seymour (30s to 50s), Jenny (late 20s), Randolph (early 30s), Helen O'Toole ( 40s to 60s), Kate Bixley ( 30s to 50s), Crane Hammond (30s to 50s), Vernon Cookley (50s to 60s), Lyle Rogers (30s to 50s), Philip Smith (20s to 60s), Richard Hammond (30s to 50s).  Lillian, Kate, Crane, Lyle & Richard all need to be around the same age. Jenny, Helen and, especially Vernon, could use a New England accent. Randolph will use a very bad "gangster" accent. Auditions will take place at the Presbyterian Education Center. Contrary to what you may have read elsewhere, you need not register ahead of time – just come! Readings will be from the script, no advance preparation is necessary. Any questions about the auditions can be directed to Jon at 635-9215.

Carry On, Santa is coming!

Carry On, Santa Auditions a Success

Playwright/director Barbara Murphy was thrilled with the turnout for auditions for her Christmas musical, Carry On, Santa. The cast began rehearsing immediately and has gotten right into the spirit of the upcoming season. She says, "it's always a gamble when you hold auditions, and especially having written it myself, I was holding my breath-but everyone has walked into their roles exactly as I had pictured them."

Players' veteran Ted Davenport will play the leading role of Santa Claus. Sue Alexander is cast as his patient and loving spouse. Tom Hoey, who performed with the group in the 1960's and then took a 40-odd year sabbatical, has taken on the job of Frank, the Chief Elf in Santa's workshop.

Although Murphy originally wrote the roles of the Christmas Association-who are forcing Santa's retirement-for three men, three ladies showed up and were perfect for the parts. So the pronouns became feminine, and the roles will be played by Cheryl Rowlands, Isabelle Klima, and Patty Fisher. The Christmas Association, worried about Santa's obvious aging, pushes Mr. and Mrs. Claus to consider adoption, since they have been unable to produce an heir after the job of Santa has been in his family for generations. The trio bring to the door a parade of boys, who immediately prove themselves totally unfit for the job. The role of Bruno, the bully, will be played by Brandon Noga. His brother, Paul, will portray, Drew, the Goth. Nick Thurston and Joe Woods will play Mortimer and Quentin, and Jack Corey, Christopher.

Frank's crew of hard-working elves will be played by Taylor, Maggie and Markie Flurschutz, Nick Horner, Trinity Wolford-Frost, Erica Campbell, and Davonte House. Jaques, the Elf from Gwelf who has a bad cold, is played by Lillian Boberg.

The ill-fitted (thanks to Frank, who "hates the girl stuff") Barbie dolls are played by Marissa Saurini, Melissa Bowers, Abby Miller, Christina House, Kara Hickey, Rachael Barron and Kara Traver.

No Christmas tale would be complete without Santa's reindeer, of course, and ours will be played by Ben and Braden York, Antonina Tortorello, Hannah McEvers, Natalie Church, Claire Alexander, Lexi Flurschutz, Natalie McKela, and Darien House.

Although Murphy wrote the tunes for the seven songs, her one-finger piano playing just wouldn't do, so she turned to none other than Grace Lentini, who has magically transformed the numbers into full accompaniments. Doing double duty as stage manager and conductor is Sara Fraher. Lighting will be designed by Bob Frame. Producer is Judi Saurini, with the backstage crew made up of willing parents.

The show will be presented as always at the annual Cayuga Community College Folk Art Festival on December 6 and 7, with a show each day at noon and 3:00 PM. There will be a sneak preview at the Dress Rehearsal at 7:30 on Friday, December 5, in the CCC Theatre, to which all are invited.
