SANTA PAULA THEATER CENTER HOLDS AUDITIONS FOR
EDWARD ALBEE’S PULITZER PRIZE WINNING “SEASCAPE”
The Santa Paula Theater Center announces auditions for Edward Albee’s Pulitzer Prize winning drama SEASCAPE on Wednesday, July 10th from 7 – 9 pm and Saturday July 13th from 1 – 2 pm at the Santa Paula Theater Center, 125 South 7th Street in Santa Paula. Invited callbacks will be held on Saturday, July 13th from 1-4 pm. SEASCAPE performances will be from August 30 – October 6, 2019 on Friday and Saturday evening at 8 pm and Sunday matinees at 2:30 pm. This is a Non-Equity production. There is NO PAY.
SEASCAPE takes place on a deserted stretch of beach with a retirement aged couple relaxing and conversing idly after a picnic lunch about home, family and their life together. She stretches; he naps. Then suddenly, they are joined by two human-sized sea creatures, a pair of lizards from the depths of the ocean, with whom they engage in a fascinating dialogue. Edward Albee says: Seascape wonders whether we are an evolving species or perhaps a devolving one. Two lizards; two humans. Edward Albee's second Pulitzer Prize winning play has elements of comedy, fantasy, satire and/or absurdism.
SPTC is calling for 4 actors: two females and 2 males.
Charlie: Nancy's husband, who in his retirement wants to rest and do nothing. Fearful and passive, he is content with the way things are and does not want to be challenged.
Nancy: Charlie's wife, who, unlike her husband, is vibrant and curious about the world. She wants to have adventures and is open to what comes her way.
Leslie: The male lizard is more fearful, defensive, and mistrusting than his mate whom he is very protective of. Leslie acts most often on instinct like an animal.
Sarah: Mate to Leslie, although cautious, is more curious than Leslie and tries to make a connection. Though Sarah is more deferential than Nancy, she does assert herself to Leslie when an experience is important.
SPTC continues their 2019 season with Edward Albee’s SEASCAPE from August 30 – October 6, and Neil Simon’s LOST IN YONKERS from November 8 – December 15. Tickets are available at www.santapaulatheatercenter.org.
