*Lake George Dinner Theatre 2025 Season:*

*GUYS ON ICE*
First Rehearsal: June 23rd
Opening Night: July 11th
Closing Night: Aug 30th
LGDT performs 7-8 shows per week.

MARVIN and LLOYD are working class guys from northern Wisconsin. They may
seem a little slow on the uptake, but there is a native intelligence and
wry good humor that suggests active thought life. There is a casual pace to
life in Door County, especially in the winter. No locals are in a hurry to
get anywhere.
*NOTE: All actors must have an impeccable Wisconsin accent with great
comedic timing and strong vocal ability. Songs feature close harmonies and
some a cappella singing. The show will be performed with piano only. Lake
George Dinner Theatre is a small venue, and actors will not be wearing body
mics.*

SEEKING:

LLOYD (age range 35-50; Tenor range D3-E4, occasionally up to Bb4) A
married ice fisherman

MARVIN (age range 35-50; Bari-tenor range C3-E4, occasionally up to G4) A
bachelor ice fisherman

ERNIE (age range 35-50; Baritone range A2-E4) A moocher. The kind of guy
who always says the wrong thing, maybe on purpose, maybe not. In other
cultures he would be a coyote or trickster. Up here he’s just a pain in the
butt. Ability to play any type of hand-held instrument that can sound goofy
or sentimental a plus (harmonica, ukulele, trombone, accordion, etc)


*INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP*
First Rehearsal: Aug 25th
Opening Night: Sept 12th
Closing Night: Oct 11th

SEEKING:

LINDA O’SHEA (19-year-old female) Linda is highly intelligent, caring, and
curious. She alternates between thinking she knows everything and thinking
she knows nothing. Responsible and rarely impetuous. Narrates the story
directly to the audience.

JOSEPHINE ‘JO’ O’SHEA (late 40s, early 50s female) Jo juggles more plates
than Cirque de Soleil. A great mom who defines multi-tasking. She's also a
little more emotional and prone to outbursts than usual because,
well...you’ll see.

THERESA ‘TERRI’ CARMICHAEL (late 50s female) Terri is definitely going
through a rough patch, but she is not a depressive or phlegmatic. Think
Thelma Ritter or Eve Arden, with a touch of Dorothy Parker. Fast talker.

BECKY O’SHEA (18+ to play 13-year-old, female) Becky is an unusual child.
Bright and verbal. Full of energy and a crazy-huge imagination. She speaks
quickly, not unlike some of the characters in the movies she loves, like
"His Girl Friday."

MIKE O’SHEA / FATHER LOVETT / BETTY HECKENBACH (50s, Male). MIKE is loud,
loyal, and single-task oriented. His definition of a father is: Breadwinner
and disciplinarian. Lousy listener. FATHER LOVETT is an old school Catholic
priest. Egotistical, imperious, and pampered. Unused to any kind of
pushback from parishioners or anyone else for that matter. BETTY
HECKENBACH, There is a Betty Heckenbach in everyone's life. She's right up
there with death and taxes—only less fun. Played absolutely straight—no
winking or flamboyance. Just a homely, judgmental, middle-aged woman
sticking her big puss into other people's business.
