[Capdist-auditions] Reminder: Auditions for “The Treasurer” at Theater Voices

[Tony Pallone]

Theater Voices announces auditions for the first production of its 2019-20 season, a staged reading of "The Treasurer" by Max Posner, directed by Tony Pallone. 

Auditions will be held at Steamer No. 10 Theatre, 500 Western Ave., Albany, from 7-9 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3 and Thursday, Sept. 5, 2019. Please arrive at 7 pm and be prepared to stay. Actors will be asked to read from the script. 

Actors must be available for all performance dates, which are Friday, Oct. 18 at 8 pm; Saturday, Oct. 19 at 3 pm and 8 pm; and Sunday, Oct. 2 at 3 pm. Rehearsal schedule will depend upon actor availability; evening and weekend rehearsals only. 

The play: Meet Ida Armstrong. On her own in Albany, she's broke, lonely, and fading fast. And she’s spending all of her children’s money, forcing her son to assume the unwanted role of The Treasurer: an arrangement that becomes untenable the more he questions his devotion to her. In this darkly funny, sharply intimate portrait, Max Posner chronicles the strained ties between a son and his aging mother, and the living hell of a guilty conscience.

The characters:

The Son, 40-60. Articulate, conflicted and somewhat adrift. Holds the emotional center of the play. (THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST)

Ida, 60s+. Sincere, charming and fairly oblivious to reality. Has almost reached the end of her path, though she can't quite grasp it.

Male Actor, 30-50, any ethnicity. Plays multiple characters ranging from The Son's brother Jeremy to salespeople with whom Ida interacts to the gay partner of Ida's hairdresser. 

Female Actor, 25-35, African-American. Plays multiple characters ranging from The Son's brother Allen to a salesperson with whom Ida interacts to the voice of an online banking interface.
