Spotlight Players Community Theater, Inc. announces auditions for a February production of Love Letters.  The play will be performed in tandem with  The Harry and Sam Dialogues, as part of a Valentine’s Day special weekend of performances focused on love and lifelong friendships, and featuring live music and catered deserts between performances.
 Love Lettersis a Pulitzer Prize for Drama nominated play by A. R. Gurney. The play centers on just two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepiece Ladd III.  The two characters age through the years as they read their correspondence to each other.  They discuss the hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats that have passed between them throughout their separated lives. It is only at the sad ending that they realize they were really love letters all along.
 
Character Descriptions: This show will feature two actors playing each role, as the character ages, the actors will change.  Roles for 2 women 25—40 and 40—55 years, and 2 men 25—40 and 40—55 years.
 
Melissa:  Carefree, artistic and passionate.  Traditional, in a non-traditional way.
Andrew:  Forthright, boy scout-like, wholesome and true to his values and morals.
 
Please come with a prepared 1-2 minute contemporary monologue, not from the show, and be prepared to read from the script at audition. Dress comfortably.  Actors will need to be able to demonstrate a strong personal relationship with their counterpart, with chemistry and playfulness.  They have been the best of friends for many years, and that must be believable.  Rehearsals will begin in January, 2 to 3 times per week with an initial read through of the play December 15.
 
Performances are scheduled for February 12—14 at 8 PM and February 14 and 15 at 2 PM.
 
Auditions are at the Columbia High School Auditorium, 962 Luther Road, East Greenbush, NY 12061. Call the Brian Avery, Director at 878-2098 with any questions.
