[Capdist-auditions] SCP - MURDERERS - NOV 4 & 6

[lwandruski at 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
