"How The West Was Dun" Stage Play Needs Cast

Auditions for "How The West Was Dun" play. Seeking actors. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: How the West was Dun is a hilarious melodrama that spoofs many of Hollywood’s Westerns and has modern touches to boot. Slick and wealthy Richard Coldheart (“Oh, that’s Rich!”) must marry Polly Wanda Cracker to control the Cracker property. However, it’s Polly’s homely sister, Prunella, who wants to marry him! Meanwhile, our hero, Sheriff Wayne John, has his hands full surviving the hilarious antics of well meaning but not too bright Deputy Doowrong. When a bundle of villains, including Snydley Dastardley, Kid Kid, and Calamity Jan, attempt to take over Low Humidity Chasm (Aren’t you sick and tired of melodramas taking place in Dry Gulch?), things really go crazy! Your audience will have to pay close attention to whether Schizophrenic Kid is wearing his white hat or his black hat to know whether to cheer or boo. But Blacker Bart will leave no doubt in their minds, for he’s even meaner than Black Bart. With a narrator to keep the characters onstage in line, this play will be presented as a traditional melodrama. Additional info: Flexible cast of 23 (8 males, 10 females plus 5 roles that can be any), optional extras. Auditioners will be asked to read scenes from the script and to participate in group improvisation. If you are interested, please apply.
