Comic Actress Needed!
Female 20's/30s - for the part of "Katerina" in Tom, Dick and Harry by Ray
Cooney and Michael Cooney (Curtain Call Theatre)
Katerina is an attractive and flirtatious (illegal) immigrant from Kosovo.
She speaks only in Albanian but manages to communicate with those around her
through her vocal inflections and physical actions. She and her grandfather,
Andreas, have been smuggled into the country where they expect to buy
passports for a good price. They are surprised, however, when their crooked
Russian passport supplier, Boris, pulls the rug out from underneath them.
Hilarious mayhem then ensues in typical Cooney style!
Rehearsals begin mid-October. Performances are Dec. 5th - Jan 3rd at Curtain
Call Theatre in Latham (performances are Thurs at 7:30pm, Fri at 8pm, Sat at
3pm & 8pm, Sun at 3pm). http://www.curtaincalltheatre.com/ <

Subject: [Capdist-auditions] SCP :: Auditions for MURDERERS :: Nov 4 and Nov
6
Message-ID:
Schenectady Civic Players announce auditions for Murderers by Jeffrey
Hatcher will take place on Tuesday, November 4 and Thursday, November 6 at 7:00
p.m. at the Playhouse, 12 S. Church St., Schenectady, NY 12305.
Gerald, Lucy, and Minka are all murderers, residents of the Riddle Key
Retirement Community in Florida. That they committed murder is not in question,
but as for why... In the slightly askew imagination of playwright Jeffrey
Hatcher (Tuesdays with Morrie) wickedness turns up in unlikely guises. As the
body count rises, the homicidal humor disguises an intriguing bit of
subversion: the idea that some people might deserve to be taken out. Hatcher?s keen
sense of the ridiculous thrives among the golf carts, cul de sacs and cocktail
parties in this ultimately charming, and very funny, evening of crime.
Area Premiere
Murderers will be directed by Barry Corlew. The script, largely three
monologues played without intermission, calls for strong actors able to memorize a
considerable amount of material and capable of performing solo. The
characters are:
GERALD - mid 30's to early 40's. Looks good in a tux! Marries his
mother-in-law, Spiff (it was her idea). ?...because she's dying....and gee...all that
inheritance stuff will be easier!
LUCY - "adorable" housewife. Actress needs to be able to play 70-75. Oh my,
what to do with Margaret Faydle (trollop with a hat)? More importantly, what
does one do with Lucy's wandering husband?
MINKA - pleasant woman, 40's. Latino look. Riddle Key's members office
'go to gal'. ..and conscience! ..."oh my....these people have got to go....look
what they did!!"
Production dates are January 30 - February 1 and February 4-8, 2009. Please
direct all questions to director Barry Corlew at 459-4985 or
BARRYCSHARP3 at aol.com.

Message-ID: <8CAFE7DD4C2ED9A-7F8-2136@FWM-M29.sysops.aol.com>
?
Needed:? Soprano for SLOC Musical Theater presentation of ?Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living in Paris?. Show dates are January 9-11, 15-18 and possibly 23-25, 2009. ?Age should be above 25.
?
Needs a fairly strong voice with a range of C to F, an ability to move on stage (no dancing) and, mostly, an ability to interpret songs.? Harmonies with the other 3 cast members are occasionally quite close.? The show will be presented cabaret style at SLOC?s Schenectady theater.
?
Jacques Brel was the premier French folk writer/singer during the 1950-1970?s. His songs explored facets of love, life, human foibles, war and death.? His work, however, was relatively unknown in America until ?Jacques Brel ?? Paris? opened in 1968 in New York?s Greenwich Village, and which featured 25 of Brel?s translated songs.? It was a ?hot ticket?, and ran there for over four years to packed houses, after which it enjoyed strong receptions at such places as Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, and a number of capital cities around the world.
?
The songs are variously vivacious, melodic, haunting, tender, dramatic, ?gutsy? or combinations of all of the above. ?It is a great vehicle for a singer/actress.?
?
People are encouraged to listen to ?French? singers on YouTube (search: Jacques Brel, Edith Piaf, Elly Stone, Mort Shuman ? the latter two where in the origin
al ?Brel? show).? If you have further questions, please call Allan Foster at 438-5540, or email at adfos at aol.com.

Synopsis: This benchmark of Broadway comedy produced one of the
theatre's most beloved roles: unconventional Murray, uncle to
precocious nephew, Nick. Tired of writing cheap comedy gags for
"Chuckles the Chipmunk", a children's television star, Murray finds
himself unemployed with plenty of free time with which to pursue
his...pursuits. When uptight social workers descend to insure that
Nick is receiving proper care, he finds himself solving their
problems. And most of his own.
"Would be a standout comedy in any season. Filled with laughter and
warmth and sweetness and inspired daffiness." -N.Y. Daily News
Rehearsals: Begin January 2009
Performances: February 2009
ROLES AVAILABLE
Murray Burns
is an unemployed television writer and the uncle and unofficial
guardian of Nick. Murray is a free spirit, an independent thinker,
and he cannot be tied down to a nine-to-five job, wearing a suit and
answering to a boss.
Sandra Markowitz
just of grad school, is a psychological social worker with the New
York Bureau of Child Welfare. She cannot help but become emotionally
involved in her cases.
Leo Herman
is the star of the Chuckles the Chipmunk children's television show.
While he is in character, he is wildly cheerful. Off camera, he is
insecure and depressed. He knows that children do not like him, and he
suspects that he is not even funny. He says of himself, he is nothing
but "the biggest phony you ever met."
Albert Amundson
is a social case worker with the New York Bureau of Child Welfare,
sent to investigate Murray's fitness as a guardian for Nick. He takes
his job seriously and wants to do it well, but he has no affinity for
children.
Nick Burns
is Murray and Arnold's twelve-year-old nephew, the son of their sister
Elaine and an unknown father. When Nick was five, Elaine left him at
Murray's apartment and took off. Nick is unusually intelligent and
thinks he can read people and that he is skilled at telling them what
they want to hear. Nick loves Murray and wants to stay with him, and
he tries desperately to convince the other adults to appreciate Murray
the way he is.
Arnold Burns
is Murray's brother and also his agent. He is the most successful and
stable member of the family, working for a large company of theatrical
agents in New York City. Arnold looks after Nick and Murray
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!

Performances January 23 - February 1
Christie at her best! In what is thought by many to have been her last play,
the author used all of her skills and techniques to present one of her
greatest murder mysteries in this undated manuscript.
A young lady who has just learned of her late mother?s prison term now goes
back fifteen years to the time of the crime to find out who is truly guilty
of murdering her father. The actors face the challenge of traveling back in
time to play their younger selves as they search their memories for the
truth of what happened that day. In the flashback, Carla will play her
mother, Caroline.

Subject: [Capdist-auditions] SCP - MURDERERS - NOV 4 & 6
Message-ID: <8CB080882AB9CEA-6B0-283@Webmail-mg16.sim.aol.com>
Schenectady Civic Players announce auditions for Murderers by Jeffrey
Hatcher will take place on Tuesday, November 4 and Thursday, November 6 at 7:00
p.m. at the Playhouse, 12 S. Church St., Schenectady, NY 12305.
Gerald, Lucy, and Minka are all murderers, residents of the Riddle Key
Retirement Community in Florida. That they committed murder is not in question,
but as for why... In the slightly askew imagination of playwright Jeffrey
Hatcher (Tuesdays with Morrie) wickedness turns up in unlikely guises. As the
body count rises, the homicidal humor disguises an intriguing bit of
subversion: the idea that some people might deserve to be taken out. Hatcher?s keen
sense of the ridiculous thrives among the golf carts, cul de sacs and cocktail
parties in this ultimately charming, and very funny, evening of crime.
Murderers will be directed by Barry Corlew. The script, largely three
monologues played without intermission, calls for strong actors able to memorize a
considerable amount of material and capable of performing solo. The
characters are:
GERALD - mid 30's to early 40's. Looks good in a tux! Marries his
mother-in-law, Spiff (it was her idea). ?...because she's dying....and gee...all that
inheritance stuff will be easier!
LUCY - "adorable" housewife. Actress needs to be able to play 70-75. Oh my,
what to do with Margaret Faydle (trollop with a hat)? More importantly, what
does one do with Lucy's wandering husband?
MINKA - pleasant woman, 40's. Latino look. Riddle Key's members office
'go to gal'. ..and conscience! ..."oh my....these people have got to go....look
what they did!!"
Production dates are January 30 - February 1 and February 4-8, 2009. Please
direct all questions to director Barry Corlew at 459-4985 or
BARRYCSHARP3 at aol.com.

THE COMMON MAN
Mid- to late-middle age. Pot-bellied, if possible. He is crafty, benevolent, and able to delineate many roles.

DUKE OF NORFOLK

MARGARET MORE
Early- to mid-twenties. She has moral fineness like her father but has not his generousity of nature. There is a reserved stillness about her.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
He is old, a megalomaniac, ambitious, contemptuous of those he serves.

Thirties. Subtle and serious, he is Machiavellian in his ambition.
CHAPUYS
Middle-aged. A professional diplomat, dignified, a peasant at heart.
CHAPUYS? ATTENDANT
An apprentice diplomat of good family.
WILLIAM ROPER
Late-twenties to mid-thirties. He has a stiff bearing, and an all-consuming moral rectitude.
THE KING
Not the Holbein Henry, but a younger man, bright-eyed, graceful and athletic. He is the GOLDEN HOPE of the new learning throughout Europe. He handles his absolute power with levity.
?
Synopsis:
?
When Henry VIII's first wife is unable to produce an heir to the throne, he uses that as a pretext for the pope to grant him a divorce, so he can marry his newest conquest. The King is backed by everyone on this request except the highly regarded and religious Sir Thomas More. Cardinal Wolsey, Chancellor of England, names More as his successor and it becomes important for Henry to get More's support, but he cannot be swayed. Henry demands the clergy to renounce the Pope and to name him Head of the Church of England. Oliver Cromwell frames More, forcing him to resign as Chancellor. Eventually More is brought to trial and is forced to choose between his life and his morals. A Man for All Seasons won multiple Tony awards and a Theater World award when first produced on Broadway in 1962.
