[Capdist-auditions] Local Actors Guild of Saratoga seeking actors/actresses for Sordid Lives

[JJ Buechner]

The Local Actors Guild of Saratoga is looking for actors for their March production of Del Shores’ SORDID LIVES. Rehearsals will begin in late January in Saratoga Springs. Listed below is a synopsis and character breakdown. If you are interested in auditioning please send a headshot or current picture and resume to localactorsguild at gmail.com. We will be arranging auditions based on actor’

s availability. Writer-director Del Shores serves up a heaping helping of Southern-fried comic melodrama in his play about infidelity, country & western music, and Airstream trailers. When their Mother dies. Latrelle and LaVonda , along with their Aunt Sissy plan her funeral -- an unenviable task, considering that they must carefully hide the deceased's affair with amputee G.W. from his wife, the vindictive Noleta. Meanwhile, the trio has to come to terms with two cases of sexual orientation: Latrelle's openly gay soap-opera star son Ty, whose sexuality she continues to deny; and their only brother, Earl “Brother Boy,” who's serving a sentence in a mental ward for his adamant belief that he is actually country & western legend Tammy Wynette. Throw in Bitsy Mae Harling an guitar playing ex-con singer, Dr. Eve, a phyciastrist trying to “De-homosexualize” Brother Boy, Juanita, the town drunk, Odell & Wardell, redneck brothers and you have SORDID LIVES

TY WILLIAMSON. 27, a beautiful gay man on a joumey.

SISSY HICKEY. mid 50s, the caretaker who picked the wrong day to quit smoking.

NOLETA NETHERCOTT. early 40s the angry overweight betrayed housewife.
