Actors Needed for "Blithe Spirit" Play Audition

Seeking male and female talent for "Blithe Spirit" theatre play. See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: A smash comedy hit in London and New York, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives concerns fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Clever, insistent and well aware of Charles' shortcomings, Elvira is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” the eccentric and flighty Madame Arcati. As everyone's personalities clash, Charles’ current wife, Ruth, is accidentally killed. She “passes over” and joins Elvira, allowing the two “blithe spirits” to haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity. Additional info: The play takes place in Kent, England in the 1940's. Actors will need to be comfortable or to become comfortable with the following (to varying degrees, based on role): - Physical comedy (facial expressions, pratfalls, pantomime, big motions) - Onstage romance (physical touch and closeness, kissing) - High chemistry with fellow actors - Articulate accents Performances will be the weekend of May 30th. If you are interested, please apply.
