[Capdist-auditions] EXPERIENCE THE MOST FUN AUDITION EVER with Confetti Stage

[stageboynewyork at aol.com]

Confetti Stage will hold auditions for the 
Regional Premiere of
Wendy MacLeod's
THE HOUSE OF YES
Directed by Neilson Jones

Synopsis:  In this black comedy, The Pascals, a family for whom the clock stopped with the Kennedy assassination, are shut in as a Thanksgiving hurricane swirls outside. Arriving prior to the storm’s eye are Jackie-O’s twin brother, Marty and his fiancée Lesly. The obsessive Jackie is keen to renew her long-running incestuous affair with Marty. This is fine by the mother, who’s still lamenting her husband’s desertion, and by the puppyish younger brother Anthony who immediately desires Lesly. The resulting battle over Marty becomes something of a class struggle between the Pascals’ poetic insanity and Lesly’s plebian pragmatism.

"The House of Yes" is a dark and comical look into this family’s tumultuous Thanksgiving dinner and the even more turbulent ending to their day. "The House of Yes" is suggested for mature audiences only.

Rehearsals:  Begin Sunday, November 2
Performances:  Scheduled for December 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, & 14.
