Actors Audition For Stage Play "Second Samuel"

Saint Petersburg, FL, United States
ID: 252763Exp: 1/21/2024
Description:

"Second Samuel" play seeking actors. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see more info below. About the project: Synopsis: It was a simpler time in the late 1940s, especially in South Georgia and specifically in a sleepy little town called Second Samuel. What had been called the Great Depression was quickly fading into memory. The war had been won, the election was now over, and "Give 'em Hell Harry" was still president. It had been an exciting time for sure, but the folks in Second Samuel were ready for things to settle down and get back to normal. Except—this was the summer Miss Gertrude passed away, and deep dark secrets were about to be revealed. Nobody could have imagined how the death of one sweet little old lady would turn the entire town upside down, leaving everybody in Second Samuel wondering if anything would ever be normal again! This wonderful script is filled with laughter brought by the colorful residents of Second Samuel. In between the funny moments, the characters have to confront the discovery of things not being what they seem and of “otherness”. The show centers on the passing of the beloved Miss Gertrude, her secret, and its impact on the town. A “simple” young man, B-Flat, serves as our narrator throughout. In his efforts to understand the angry and hateful reaction of the townspeople, he teaches them the important lesson of acceptance. Additional info: This is an educational company. No experience is required for any onstage role. They are happy to teach you anything you want to learn about theater. Non-traditional casting is always considered. This show does require a male-presenting actor of color. Shows: April 5-14. If you are interested, please apply.
