[Capdist-auditions] Wedding Band

[Jean-Remy Monnay]

Please post the following notice. Thank you!

> The Soul Rebel Performance Troupe (SRPT) is looking for a 30-40 years old white male to play Herman (one of the leads) for its upcoming June production – Wedding Band – A love/hate  story in black and white. If interested, please contact Jean-Remy Monnay at 518-833-2662 for more info.

> HERMAN: Herman is a forty year old uneducated man, who is slightly graying. He is a poor but hardworking baker, is genuinely compassionate, and is trapped in South Carolina by the loan he received from his mother when he purchased the bakery. Herman seems to be the only character who does not see people in terms of race; he treats Julia and her black neighbors the same as he would treat any person of any color. Herman is caught between his mother’s disapproval of Julia and his love for Julia. In one of the play’s climactic scenes both women engage in a shouting match as Herman is dying from influenza.

It is the summer of 1918, there is a war in Europe, and a smaller war in South Carolina. Julie is an African-American seamstress. Herman is a white man that has kept company with her for years. As their growing attraction accelerates into an affair, they must of course, deal with the prejudices and wrath of ignorance in early 20th century America.
