Curtain Call Theatre is holding additional auditions for the part of CHARLIE SUNSHINE (late 20s/early 30s) for their July/August 2009 production of The Vows of Penelope Corelli by Richard Vetere.
 
Charlie Sunshine – (30’s) He is a banquet hall planner who has a good heart but is fairly naive. Through the course of the play, he learns to trust in himself and his talents rather than try to be the person he thinks other people want him to be. Initially, he is attracted to Penelope but eventually finds true love with Sheila who loves him for who he is. 
 
Additional information about the production is pasted below and attached to this email. To arrange for an audition date and time (or if you have questions), please contact Cindy Bates (cindy at batesny.com) or Carol Max 877-7529.

Plot: Over five years ago, Penelope's husband, Sam, went out for a pack of cigarettes and never came back, leaving her their daughter Sheila, their car and five hundred dollars in their savings account. But during the past year, things brightened for Penelope who, turning fifty years old, hit the New York lottery for fifty-three million dollars. An attractive woman, Penelope has been inundated by suitors from discount department stores to the local car wash. But Penelope still loves Sam and won't even let her daughter know just how much. Sheila, tired of her mother's overbearing presence, decides her choices are to marry a local guy, Sal, who is on the lam from the FBI, or move out. She begins to plan her wedding when she meets Charlie Sunshine who, true to his name, brings “sunshine” to her life. Initially, Charlie is more interested in Sheila’s mother (and her money) but Sheila helps Charlie see that he has much to offer the world if only he
 would believe in himself and the possibility of love with her. Meanwhile, Penelope’s husband, Sam returns home telling Penelope the truth of why he ran off and why he came back. As they decide whether or not to reunite, Sheila and Charlie’s relationship blossoms. 

Setting/Time: The ostentatious and gaudy living room of the Corelli home in a working-class neighborhood, Maspeth, Queens, New York City. Time is “the present.”
