Open auditions for . . .

      Jeffrey Hatcher's  

          "MRS. MANNERLY"

Directed by Mark Stephens 

-- Tuesday, September 18, and Thursday, September 20 -

 

The Schenectady Civic Players, proudly announces the auditions for Jeffrey Hatcher's smart, funny, and subversive play about manners and etiquette - MRS. MANNERLY.  

 

Inspired by his memories of a childhood etiquette class, playwright Jeffrey Hatcher conjures up the world of a ten-year old studying manners from the title character.  Mrs. Mannerly is a demanding teacher and no student in her 36 years of etiquette classes has achieved a perfect score.  But young Jeffrey, when he discovers her secret past, is determined to be the first.  A unique comic tale about the face we present and our inside selves.

 

Director Mark Stephens has outlined the following cast requirements for this two character play:

 

Female, 'of a certain age' to play Mrs. Mannerly - a crusty manners teacher in 1967 Ohio, a former actress with a mysterious past.

 

Male, 25-50 to play Jeffrey, a 10 year old boy with an adult sensibility, and 5 of his classmates, (both male and female), and other characters of both sexes - a strong actor with good comic timing is needed with ability to create multiple characters in rapid succession.

 

The script contains some strong language. 

 

Try-outs will take place at The Playhouse on Tuesday, September 18 and Thursday, September 20. Sign up starts at 7pm, readings commence at 7:30pm. 

 

Performance dates are: November 30, December 1, 2 and December 5 - 9, 2012 at The Playhouse in Schenectady
