Casting Call for "The Foreigner" Stage Play

Hyde Park, VT, United States
ID: 227482Exp: 9/10/2023
Description:

Casting men/women for play "The Foreigner". Please see the breakdown below. About the project: "The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by “Froggy” LeSueur, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time “Froggy” has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So “Froggy,” before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie overhears more than he should—the evil plans of a sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck associate; the fact that the minister’s pretty fiancée is pregnant; and many other damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn’t understand a word being said. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the “bad guys,” and the “good guys” emerge triumphant." Additional info: Note: The age listed is the character’s STAGE AGE. (i.e., the actor need not be that age, just be able to pass in that range while on stage). Gender listed is gender that the character identifies as. NOTES ABOUT AUDITIONS Please arrive promptly at your start time. Please bring your calendar with you to note schedule conflicts! No need to bring prepared material; readings from the script will be used. NOTES ABOUT REHEARSAL SCHEDULE Expect 2-3 weeknight rehearsals and 1 weekend rehearsal per week. Not all cast members will be required to be at every rehearsal - directors value your volunteer time. Performance Dates: December 1st - 3rd & 8th - 10th Friday & Saturday @ 7:00pm & Sunday Matinee @ 2:00pm
