In search of professional actors for the theater production of "Escanaba in da Moonlight." More information can be found below.

About the project:
Synopsis:
Escanaba in da Moonlight is a snapshot into the lives of the Soady men. Retreating to their "home away from home" in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan they can spend time together doing their two favorite things ... drinking and bagging bucks. At 35, though, Reuben Soady is in danger of being the oldest family member in history without a buck to call his own. Laughs abound as you get a glimpse into this traditional male rite of passage as lived out in the unique "Yooper" way. 

Additional info:
- The audition will consist of cold readings from the script.
- You can download an audition form from the attachment, fill it out, and bring it with you to auditions.
- Attaching a full resume is appreciated, as is a headshot. If you do not have one or both of those, please do not let that keep you from auditions. A completed form will suffice.

To be considered for a role in the production of "Escanaba in da Moonlight," please apply.

Theater

Patriarch of the Soady clan. Uneducated but somewhat wise. Loves his family, hunting, and tradition, not necessarily in that order. Keeper of the “Bible” at the Soady family hunting cabin. The voice of whatever reason there is at the cabin.

Male

Albert Soady

Older son of Albert, older brother of Remnar. Married to Wolf Moon Dance Soady. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Believes he is jinxed and may be going a bit mad over the fact that he is now tied for the record of the oldest Soady to not have shot his first buck, a fact his father attributes not to a jinx, but to the fact that “Yer a shitty shot”. The target of his younger brother’s jibes.

Reuben Soady

Reuben’s younger brother. Skilled hunter. Never ceases to remind his big brother about his own skill and his brother’s lack thereof. Even less sharp than his brother. Strong on the traditions of the cabin. Lives for deer season, “Christmas with guns”. Single.

Remnar Soady

“Ageless”Best friend of Reuben and Remnar. May have been a little strange before he was abducted by aliens, now very strange, including the odd way he speaks. A very unique character. Capable of great feats of bodily ingestion and output.

Jimmer Negamanee

Ranger with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, or DNR. Recent transfer to the Upper Peninsula and does not yet know the ways of the land there. Believes he saw God on the ridge just now—not God’s ways, not God’s works, not God’s creatures, GOD.

Ranger Tom T. Treado

Married to Reuben. Full-blooded Ojibwa, wise in the mysterious ways of her people. Trying to help her husband overcome his buckless streak. On stage for the last two pages only, but her influence is felt throughout.

Female

Wolf Moon Dance Soady

Casting Call for "Escanaba in da Moonlight" Show

Auditions for for the murder mystery/comedy play "Occupation: Murder". Looking for cast. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see the breakdown below.

About the project: 
When the rehearsal begins for the TV quiz show It's a Living! who would suspect that before the telecast is over, the hardest problem to solve would be "Who killed Tony Fabrizi, the show's sponsor?" And why was he murdered? Was it for the diamond bracelet he had brought for the commercial, or was he shot for personal reasons? Homicide detective Lt. Jim Slate discovers that most of the TV show's cast had motives to murder the man - or could it have been his Italian wife with the fiery temper? Perhaps she knew about her husband's involvement with Marilyn, a girl with knockout looks and horrible voice? Rounds of the fictional game show are actually played during the performance using members of the audience on stage as contestants. With the help of Amanda Maxwell, a little old lady amateur sleuth, Lt. Slate solves the murder at the exciting conclusion to OCCUPATION: MURDER! 

Additional info: 
Auditions: cold read of "Occupation: Murder".
Show dates for Spring are April 21, 22, 28 & 29. Rehearsals have not been finalized but are typically 3x week in the evening until closer to performance.

"Occupation: Murder" Murder Mystery/Comedy Play Needs Cast

The company is Thornton Wilder's "OUR TOWN" Show and looking for talent. 
Please see the details below.
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED.

About the project:
A landmark in American drama, Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Our Town tells the story of a small town, Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, in order to tell us the story of every town, the whole world over. Narrated by the “Stage Manager”, we follow the Gibbs and Webb families, residents of Grover’s Corners, through twelve years of life changes -- from the mundane in Act I, “Daily Life,” to the romantic in Act II, “Love and Marriage,” to the devastating in Act III, “Death and Eternity.” Through the young lovers Emily and George, their strong and loving parents, and the many other Grover’s Corners’ locals, Wilder delivers universal truths about what it means to be human. “Oh, earth,” Emily Webb exclaims towards the play’s end, “you’re too wonderful for anyone to realize you.” With humor, wit, and exceptionally powerful storytelling, Our Town offers a unique opportunity for audience members to make precisely that realization.

Additional info:
Actors should be prepared with a monologue and be comfortable participating in a cold reading.

Auditions for "The Spitfire Grill" play. Actors wanted. Please see the breakdown below.

About the project: 
Synopsis: Percy Talbot has just been released from a five-year prison sentence for manslaughter. She is trying to find a place for a fresh start, and based on a page from an old travel book, travels to the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin. The local sheriff, Joe Sutter, who is also Percy’s parole officer, finds her a job at Hannah’s Spitfire Grill – the only eatery in this struggling town. The Spitfire Grill is for sale. But with no interested buyers, Hannah decides to raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill to win. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow and things are definitely getting hot at the Spitfire Grill. This musical triumph is an inspiring celebration of fresh starts and the power of what one person can do.

Additional info: 
All characters, other than Percy, have a standard Midwestern accent.

(stage age 25+) Percy is pretty, if a bit rough-edged. Her face declares the strength of her youth and a sadness beyond her years. She carries a terrible secret.

PERCY TALBOTT

(stage age 60+) Hannah is the owner of the Spitfire Grill. She is a tough-skinned and flinty old bird with a short, no-nonsense manner bordering on the bitter. She can also be very tender-hearted and fiercely loyal. She has a secret of her own to protect.

HANNAH FERGUSON

(stage age 25+) Shelby is a plain, soft-faced creature with a shy, almost ethereal manner. She is the wife of Caleb Thorpe. Once her trust is gained, she also is a very loyal friend.

SHELBY THORPE

(stage age 30+) The out-of-work foreman of the now-defunct stone quarry, Caleb is a frustrated man clinging to the past and the authority he once had. He bitterly opposes change.

CALEB THORPE

(stage age 25+) Joe is a young, small-town policeman with a restless nature and a genuine desire to escape Gilead.

SHERIFF JOE SUTTER

(stage age 40+) Effy is postmistress and the town busybody. She is a woman with narrow eyes and a sour tongue. There’s little to gossip about in a town so small, but when there is, she is the source.

EFFY CRAYNECK

(stage age 40+) A mysterious figure who never speaks, the visitor has powerful eyes and a very strong sense of his body.

If you are interested, please apply.

$100 / Project

A twelve-year-old female tabby cat, probably 30s to mid-40s in human years. They're plucky and spunky, and if there’s an alpha cat in the group, it’s Stella. Stella is completely devoted to Kelly and cherishes their fellow cats. But they are innately afraid of (and prejudiced against) dogs, due to a traumatic event from their past.

STELLA

A large male cat and Stella’s litter mate, so also likely in the 30s to mid-40s human range. 
They are smart, literate, and enjoy the finer things in feline life. Buddha may come off as a tad snobby, but they love Kelly and their fellow cats. A British or upper-crusty New England accent (think Frasier Crane) would suit Buddha well.

BUDDHA

A male tabby cat, 7 years old, perhaps late 20s to late 30s in human years. They are a former “street cat” who loves to play. Lupin is proud of their urban, "tough-guy" upbringing, but they are also sweet and a little naïve. A Brooklyn or Jersey accent would work for Lupin.

LUPIN

A female pit bull dog, 4 years old, 20s or 30s in human years. Scrappy, loveable, and sympathetic to anyone’s difficulties in life. Charlize wants to be friends with everyone, even those who behave antagonistically toward them.

CHARLIZE

The human owner of the pets, mid 20s to mid-late 30s. She’s having a very difficult time at her job, which has her constantly on edge. She’s not a “crazy cat lady” by any stretch but she’s concerned about animal welfare and is very affectionate toward her pets.

About the project:
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is an 1876 novel by Mark Twain about a boy growing up along the Mississippi River. It is set in the 1840s in the town of St. Petersburg, which is based on Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived as a boy. In the novel, Tom Sawyer has several adventures, often with his friend Huckleberry Finn. Originally a commercial failure, the book ended up being the best selling of Twain's works during his lifetime. Though overshadowed by its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the book is considered by many to be a masterpiece of American literature. It was one of the first novels to be written on a typewriter.
