[Capdist-auditions] Final Night of Auditions for 'night Mother Tonight

[peter belenchia]

Auditions for Albany Civic Theater's 2nd show of the
2013-2014 season, 'night Mother by Marsha Norman directed by Nate
Beynon, will be held Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at
Albany Civic Theater, 235 Second Avenue, Albany, NY462-1297, info at albanycivictheater.org
 
'night Mother runs November 8 - 24, 2013.
 
Sign-ins begin at 7PM and auditions begin at
7:30PM. There is no need to make an appointment. There is no need to prepare a
monologue. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. 
 
We are looking for 2 women for the following parts:
 
Jessie Cates:Late thirties, early forties.  A smart, funny
introvert who makes jokes nobody gets.  For the first time in a great
while, in total possession of herself.
 
Thelma Cates:Late fifties, early sixties.  A hearty, garrulous
extrovert who loves telling stories, she is frightened by too much quiet.
 In her heart of hearts, Jessie is still "hers".
 
Synopsis:
 
Jessie's father is dead; her loveless marriage ended in
divorce; her absent son is a petty thief and ne'er-do-well; her last job didn't
work out; she lives with her mother; and in general her life is stale and
unprofitable.  As the play begins Jessie
asks for her father's service revolver and calmly announces she intends to kill
herself. At first her mother refuses to take her seriously, but as Jessie sets
about tidying the house her sense of desperate helplessness begins to build.
The play builds to a moment never to be forgotten by those who have witnessed,
and come to understand, her plight.
