Rivercity Players' spring production is The Bookstore by Adam Szymkowicz. Auditions: January 19 and 20, 6:30 p.m.
The play is set in the "the largest and most idiosyncratic bookstore in New England" whose future is uncertain after the owner dies and leaves the shop to her niece who doesn't have the time or patience to run a bookstore. A real estate magnate's generous offer is a no-brainer until the whimsical bookstore and its eccentric staff and clientele work their magic on the reluctant new owner.
This charming comedy has 28 characters and calls for a group of between 6-28 actors. The minimum number of actors is six broken down to 3 females and 3 males. But the range will be between 3-16 females and 3-17 males, depending on how many come out to audition. The quirky roles are of varying length and combining them together will call for a group of versatile actors looking to have a lot of fun. The two lead roles, played by female actors, will not likely be asked to take on additional roles.
Directed by Alistair Taylor, this play will also be Rivercity Players’ entry in the North Island Zone Festival in Qualicum Beach, which will be held in mid May. Auditions: January 19 and 20, 6:30 p.m. Callbacks: January 22, 6:30 p.m. Performances: May 1 – 4, 8 - 10, + festival performance.
