Your Theatre, Inc. is holding auditions June 22 and 23 at 7pm, for all roles in the upcoming 2016-2017 Season production of California Suite.
Auditions consist of a cold reading from the script and are held in the playhouse located in St. Martin’s Church/Hall complex, 136 Rivet Street at Country Street, in New Bedford. The auditions are open to all actors over the age of 16.
The show is divided into four parts: Visitor from New York, Visitor from Philadelphia, Visitors from London and Visitors from Chicago.
More about the characters:
Visitor from New York: Man and woman both in their 50’s. He’s a yuppie. She is a snarky conservative. They are fighting over whom their rebellious teenage daughter should live with. It’s New York vs California.
Visitor from Philadelphia: Man and woman in their 50’s or 60’s. (Bit part for a hooker) He wakes up to find a passed out hooker in his bed just as his wife is about to arrive preceding their daughter’s wedding.
Visitors from London: One man and one woman in their 60’s. Academy Award nominated actress and her bisexual husband are in town for the Oscars.
Visitors from Chicago: 2 couples. Any combination possible. Race and age not important. Same sex couples not discouraged. Two dentists and their spouses vie for control in the most slap-sticky scene of the four. Actors must be able to do physical comedy.
Your Theatre celebrates diversity and seeks people of all backgrounds regardless of age, race, creed, national origin, or sexual orientation. All are welcome!
Experience is not necessary; just the desire to participate and share the experience of live theatre and the enjoyment of collaborating with other talented individuals.
