They're Playing Our Song Auditions

Tuesday, January 29th, and  Wednesday, January 30th from 7:00-9:00 p.m.

Senior Center, Clifton  Park



Clifton Park:  Not So Common Players announces  auditions for They're  
Playing Our Song on Tuesday, January 29th and  Wednesday, January 30th  
from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. at the Senior Center on  the Common off Vischer  
Ferry Road.  Performance dates are:   April 25, 26, 27, and May 2, 3,  
4, at the Shen Little  Theater.



Directed by Jennifer S. Depew with musical direction by  Sherri  
Strichman and Choreography by Donna Hatch,  They're  Playing Our Song  
is a musical with a book by Neil Simon, lyrics by  Carole Bayer Sager,  
and music by Marvin Hamlisch.  In a story  based on the real-life  
relationship of Hamlisch and Sager, a  wisecracking composer finds a  
new, offbeat lyricist, but initially the  match is not one made in  
heaven.  The two undergo a series of  trials and overcome a number of  
hurdles before finding true love by  the final curtain.



They're Playing Our Song is essentially a  two-character show.  Vernon  
and Sonia are the sole characters on  stage; each character has a  
three-person Greek chorus acting as their  inner voices, and there are  
no big production  numbers.



Bring sheet music and be prepared to sing 16 bars of a  song from a  
Broadway musical.  The song doesn't have to be from  They're Playing  
Our Song however a song in the 70's style would match  the show more  
than something from High School Musical - for  example.  An accompanist  
will be provided.  No a capella  singing will be accepted.  Resume and  
photo desirable, but not  required.



Character Breakdown:

Vernon Gersch (Baritone)  wisecracking top music composer, mid 30's,  
aloof and  focused

Sonia Walsk (Mezzo-soprano) offbeat lyricist, late 20's,  disorganized  
and distracted



The Voices of Vernon (3-4  men) and The Voices of Sonia (3-4 women) who  
sing with the lead  characters in four out of the nine songs.  They  
also 'show up' at  various moments within the play.  There are a couple  
off stage  speaking roles that will be cast from among The  Voices.
