Seeking Cast for Play "The Wedding from Hell"
"The Wedding from Hell" play casting actors. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: Murder is afoot in this interactive dinner theatre murder mystery. You’ve been to a wedding where something went wrong? Try “everything”! Bruce and Tina face it all: broken heels, disapproving mothers, old flames, and if that isn’t enough, someone shows up just in time to die. Guests of the wedding will join Bruce and Tina as they hilariously attempt to celebrate their happy day while solving a murder. Actors will assist the guests through the evening to help point them in the right direction of the killer. As such, in-character improv will be used for part of the performance. Additional info: Preparation: You do not need to prepare anything ahead of time. Actors will read scenes from the script either alone or in groups, as well as play a few short improv games. When you come, you will complete an audition form with basic information and a conflict schedule. Be prepared to list all conflicts for the rehearsal period. Rehearsals: Rehearsals will be Monday - Wednesday evenings. This show is unique as all actors are in the entire show and will be called to all rehearsals. Performances are scheduled for the weekend of April 25-27 (Friday and Saturday evening, Sunday matinee). If you are interested, please apply.
10 roles
The groom. Mid forties. Urbane and sophisticated on the surface, but a spoiled little boy underneath. Generally considers himself to be entirely too "top drawer" to do anything as mundane as work for a living. Born with a silver pacifier.
The bride. A very "together" little lady. Believes in standing up for what's right, defending the "underdog" and is a vegetarian and an animal rights activist.
Mother of the groom. Quite chic and sophisticated and charming and elegant. Also ruthlessly devoted to her son, and determined to keep the apron strings as tight as possible.
Father of the bride. If this weren't a formal affair, Jackie would be wearing a loud plaid suit and bow tie. As it is, the rented tux he's wearing is a little too tight, and the pants are three inches too short. And that's the kind of guy he is.
Distinguished, but rather quiet and sad. Also, quite inebriated.
The photographer. A truly "nice guy" - but unable to make a commitment. He's also a police photographer, but moonlights doing this type of affair because he's saving up to go to clown school.
The Montgomery family maid. She is hopelessly in love with Bruce and is pathological in her determination to win him.
A Southern belle and dressed like one. Honey simply drips from her lips, but there's malice and venom in her heart. A very dangerous woman.
He's only got one scene but what a scene.
The person in charge who is acting as the wedding (and mystery!) co-ordinator. For the sake of clarity, the script will refer to HOSTESS.
