Seeking actors for the following three productions, all of which will be presented in Triad Stage’s UpStage Cabaret (all listed roles are available, i.e. not yet offered and accepted):
For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls and AUTO-DA-FÉ. Double bill. 1st reh: 9/7/10. Runs 9/23-10/9.
FOR WHOM THE SOUTHERN BELLE TOLLS by Christopher Durang. Dir: Jonathan Bohun Brady.
Amanda:
45-55. Exasperated and fading Southern Belle. Seems to love her children, but also calls it like she sees it. After being extremely harsh toward her children, she can turn on a dime, and demonstrate the Southern charm she wishes for her children.
Auto-da-Fé by Tennessee Williams. Dir: Kate Muchmore.
Mme. Duvenet:
60s. Frail and protective woman who has lived in the French Quarter of New Orleans most of her life, running a boarding house. Although she is very conservative, she does possess reasonable common sense … and wishes her son, Eloi, possessed some as well.
Eloi:
Man, 30s. Gaunt, frail, with feverish dark eyes. Austere postal worker with an anxious disposition. Lives with his mother, but wishes he lived somewhere else. Has paranoia due to a secret he has discovered.
THE santaland Diaries by David Sedaris. Adaptation: Joe Mantello. Dir TBA. 1st reh: 11/22/10. Runs 12/7-12/23.
David / Crumpet:
Man, late 20s - mid 30s. Unemployed and cynically idealistic about New York, David is desperate enough to apply and accept a job at Macy’s being one of the elves in Santaland. Though he is hardened by his elven initiation, he is able to find joy (though it be perverse at times) in his interactions with shoppers and other elves. He is desperate, but also has a limit to how much holiday cheer he can take. Upbraids and spurns shoppers and Santas alike, but has a keen sense to know who the good people actually are.
Billy Bishop Goes to War by John Gray with Eric Peterson. Dir: Bryan Conger. 1st reh: 2/15/11. Runs 3/3/11 – 3/19/11.
Billy Bishop:
30-40. Good-natured and accident-prone Canadian soldier in World War I. He is known as the worst student ever at the Royal Military College, and even as a “casualty in training”. As he takes us through his memories of getting into the war, however, he finds his talents in horses and shooting and flying. His animated stories of dogfights slide into patriotic song. He truly loves Canada, flying and his future wife, Margaret. Bishop sings and plays all of the various characters in his stories.
