Talent Needed for Theatre Audition "Duck Hunter Shoots Angel"
Performers are needed for the "Duck Hunter Shoots Angel" play. See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: This is the uproarious story of two bumbling Alabama brothers who have never shot a duck but think they shot an angel. As they lament their fates in a murky swamp, they are chased by a cynical tabloid journalist and his reluctant photographer, who don’t believe any of it—until feathers, wings and a tiara are discovered along the way. The play hysterically interweaves a love story, sibling rivalry, tawdry media, race relations and cultural stereotypes as the chase to find the angel builds to a crescendo in the swamp. Ultimately a sweet allegory about redemption, DUCK HUNTER SHOOTS ANGEL has been hailed by audiences as a rare comedy with a surprisingly heartfelt lesson. Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Performance Dates: May 9-11 and May 15-17, 2025 Rehearsals will start in March at Artisans Resource Center - Studio O, 585 Cobb Parkway SE, Marietta GA. Rehearsals will be Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm. Please bring a headshot and resume, if you have them. If interested, please apply.
9 roles
A tabloid journalist. Cynical, a little jaded, a little self-hating. Sandy had plans, and they did not involve tracking would-be Angel shooters for The Weekly World and Globe.
A photographer. Has even less desire than Sandy to be on this particular assignment.
A tabloid publisher. Fast talking, fast walking, always looking for an angle. Lester knows what his readers want, and Sandy better get it for him – yesterday.
(Southern accent): one of the Duck Hunters. Duane’s not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but he’s trying.
(Southern accent): the other Duck Hunter, and Duane’s younger brother. Duwell is a little dimmer than Duane, but sweeter with it.
(Southern accent): sweet, thoughtful, supportive, but some spark and spunk as well.
(Teenage presenting. Southern accent): Smart girl with a smart mouth – but likeable.
Gator Man. A strong, physically comic actor who moves well. Fun role without a lot of lines, but lots of presence.
Commanding vocal presence; actor is mostly heard, not seen – the inverse of Gator Man.
