THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG Community Theatre Auditions - (Farce/Comedy)
Drop in at the Elberton Arts Ctr between 6:00PM-8:00PM either night prepared to read excerpts from the script for Directors Bob Larson. Casting will be done for 6 adult man & 2 adult women.
This production is particularly challenging for actors and those auditioning should be in good physical health. Almost every role requires a lot of running and slapstick comedy gags. Some roles even require climbing on various parts of the set and scuffling with other actors. In fact, the director encourages those that are interested in auditioning to come to the Open Reading in the Arts Ctr on Wed. June 5th at 5:45PM to hear the script read aloud from start-to-finish and get a clear picture of what is physically required of each character in the show. No experience is necessary to audition! Please note that Encore Productions is a community theatre organization, and all acting roles granted are strictly on a volunteer basis – no paid roles are available.
Performances will be at the Elbert Theatre Sept 27-29 & Oct 4-6, 2024 as part of the Encore Productions Season.
Rehearsals will be held 3 nights a week (usually Mon, Tues & Thurs) from late June-early Oct 2024.
Synopsis: Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this award–winning comedy is guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
