Actors for "Sunshine Boys" and "Honky Tonk Angels" Shows
Auditions for "Sunshine Boys" and "Honky Tonk Angels" shows. Actors needed. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: SUNSHINE BOYS: The story follows Willie Clark and Al Lewis, who were once a highly successful vaudeville comedy team. However, after over 40 years of performing together, their partnership ended acrimoniously. Some dozen years later, a young theatrical agent, who is also Willie's nephew, tries to bring the two older men together for a comedy TV special. Despite their animosity towards each other, they reluctantly agree to reunite for one last performance. HONKY TONK ANGELS: When three gutsy gals from different backgrounds take charge of their lives, they decide to follow their honky tonk dreams to the city of Nashville. Combining 30 classic country tunes (including “Stand By Your Man,” “9 to 5,” “Harper Valley PTA” and more!) The Honky Tonk Angels is a hilarious, foot-stomping good time from the creator of Always…Patsy Cline. Additional info: Please note that actors are not able to participate in both productions. You can audition for both or just one, but will only be cast in one or the other.
