As they struggle to come to terms with their past and present lives, they gain insights about themselves, their deceased patriarch, and each other.

Show dates are April 28-30, May 5-7, and May 12-13.

If you are interested, please apply.

Theater

Is the central character.  She is the middle child from the father's first marriage and a complicated mess -- quick-witted, cynical, snide, sarcastic, anger just below the surface and all her other emotions buried deep below that.  She is also exceptionally charismatic and yearning for intimacy and closure that we're not quite sure she'll ever achieve.

Female

MERYL

She Is the youngest of the 3 siblings from the father's first marriage, married to Doug, pregnant with their first child. Her emotions are always just below the surface and she's highly motivated to "keep the peace" at the family gathering. Win is an "every-woman" -- we often observe the crazy world of the Cotters through her eyes.

Is the oldest sibling from the father's first marriage. He has a bit of a chip on his shoulder.  Of the kids in the first marriage, he was the closest to his dad, which doesn't necessarily mean their relationship was a great one all the time.  He has conflicted feelings about the entire family and covers a lot of his angst with bravado and sarcasm.

Male

MATTHEW

The husband of the middle child, Meryl, who is the central figure of the play. Their marriage is about to crumble (she's told him she wants a divorce) and this weekend is fraught with tension and stakes for Jim: his desire to convince her to keep working on their marriage, her pushing away from him, and all the challenges that come with hanging out with the in-laws.

Married to Win, who is pregnant with their first child.  He is a guy's guy -- a jokester, a bit bullish, not super in touch with his emotions, and not great with tact.  He gets along great with Matthew and Jade, Meryl -- not so much.

DOUG

The only child from the father's second marriage, and the youngest of all the siblings. Jade is high-energy, upbeat, and completely in love with boyfriend Devon.  She tries her best to get along with all the siblings, but has some challenges with Meryl (who she knows the least). Jade is also hiding a secret that is revealed during the course of the play.

JADE

The father's second wife, mother to the youngest sibling Jade. A bit flighty, but underneath it all she is sharp as a whip. Ginny was the one to care for the father as his health deteriorated and his illness slowly and brutally got the best of him  (and in many ways, her).

GINNY

Jade's boyfriend who appears at the end of the play.  He is goofy and charming, an excellent fit for Jade. Of all the characters, he is the least connected to the loss of the father, but he is no stranger to grief. Devon plays a key role in the final act (in many ways because he is an outsider, free of the family baggage), bringing valuable understanding and kindness to the equation when our central character needs it most.

DEVON

Talent Sought for "Flung" Spring Play

Canada

Casting performers to play roles in "Zastrozzi" play. Please, see the details below.

About the play:
Zastrozzi, the master criminal of Europe. The one they whisper about in polite circles. They say that Zastrozzi once passed through Paris like a plague. Leaving the aristocracy nearly bankrupt, their daughters all defiled and diseased, the police in chaos and the museums ransacked. And all because, it is said, he took a dislike to the popular French taste in art. But they say that all Europe has no more cause to fear Zastrozzi. They say that for three years he has been single-minded in a search for revenge on one man and all the rest of Europe has been untouched…

Additional information:
Dress Rehearsal: April 24 - 25, 2023.
Performance dates: April 27 - 29, May 4 - 6, May 11 - 13.
Directors ask that actors come prepared with a brief (1 minute or less) monologue. Monologues will be available at the auditions if you are unable to prepare something, but bringing your own is strongly recommended. 
You may be asked to deliver your monologue in a different style.
You will also be given an excerpt from the script from which to read; these sides can be made available in advance by contacting the production team.
Additionally, each actor will participate in a physical exercise as part of a group. These will be held at the half-hour (7:30, 8:30, and 9:30) each evening; you can take part in the session either before or after your reading audition, whichever is more convenient.
Your total time at the audition may be 30 minutes. 
In order to ensure you have time to study the scripts, we ask that actors arrive a
bit early. Directors may request callbacks of actors under consideration for certain roles, which would take place on Friday February 10th.
There will be 2-3 rehearsals a week, not every actor will be required at every rehearsal.

Master criminal of Europe. Cold and rational, apparently sane and supremely competent. Has nightmares. Almost never smiles.

Zastrozzi

A painter, at the moment; something of a dilettante, as over the past three years he has pursued numerous artistic endeavours. Has a way with women. 
Pleasantly vague. Always smiles.

Verezzi

A friend of Verezzi’s father who has taken on the task of keeping Verezzi hidden and safe from Zastrozzi. Intelligent, thoughtful, skeptical, cautious.

Victor

Seductress and frequent companion of Zastrozzi. Bold, passionate, not particularly subtle. Scornful. Physical, very much present in her body.

Mathilda

Zastrozzi’s henchman. Smarter than he looks, but perhaps not as smart as he thinks. Poor impulse control. Mostly unimaginative.

Bernardo

Daughter of a wealthy family in the town. Selfpossessed, confident, sure of herself and her position in society. Smart but a bit shallow, taking the world at face-value.

Lead. Blinded in an automobile accident a year and a half ago, Susan, a vivacious and capable woman. She is fierce and strong yet frightened and at odds with the world. She is no shrinking violet. She can hold her own despite her handicap. Visually impaired actors who can handle the intensity of the action sequences required for the role are encouraged to audition.

Susan

Lead. A master criminal with no empathy for anyone. Like many sociopaths, he is highly intelligent and manipulates people with ease. Though he’s offbeat, he’s not eccentric. He’s consistently unfazed by his circumstances, and never takes anyone, including himself, too seriously. He’d almost be charming if he wasn’t also a sadistic murderer. Character work is key. Also must be comfortable with intense stage physicality.

Roat

Lead.
A smart and charismatic. Fit, suave, tough, though not without a relatively good moral compass. He’s a skeptic, possibly even a cynic, but he does maintain a mild admiration for Susy and her unwavering strength.

Mike

Supporting.
A small-time grifter. He’s coarse, a bit uneducated, with a very flexible code of ethics. His pride is often challenged which frequently leads to a souring of his attitude.

Carlino

Supporting.
An ex-marine with a deep love of photography and his wife, Susy. Being so practical and forward-thinking, he’s determined that Susy should have a life of independence despite her lack of sight. He may be a little fixated on his work at times but he’s still a good man.

Professional Casting for "Wait Until Dark" Production

Looking to cast performers for the "Diary of Anne Frank" play. For more information see the details listed below.
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED.

About the project:
In this transcendentally powerful new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination. An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence—their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief. Each day of these two dark years, Anne’s voice shines through: “When I write I shake off all my cares. But I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death!” This is a new adaptation for a new generation.

High status clown. Rigid, uptight, everything really matters. He is the director of the show and this is the biggest day of his life. Everything is riding on this. It is a nerve wracking and exciting night. His pain is evident and every time someone laughs the pain deepens. He has equal amounts of contempt for his fellow actors & the audience watching the play. RP ACCENT.

CHRIS

Wants to be Richard Burton, as evidenced by his declamatory style. He is, however, not a parody of a bad actor. He is unaware of others around him. He does not feel badly when things go wrong and never learns from his mistakes. There is a power struggle between Robert and Chris to be president of the Cornley Poly Drama Society (a position that matters a great deal to Robert). Has real vocal power. RP ACCENT.

ROBERT

He has never been on stage before. He learned his lines and does exactly what he's told to do. He has zero connection with any of the other actors, but when he gets a laugh he breaks the 4th wall and engages with the audience. Childlike and naïve. His mistakes are fundamental. He doesn't think anything through, just looks for approval. RP ACCENT.

He has no real desire to be involved in the theatre, he just wants to make friends (of which he has none). He believes if he does well in the show, he will be more successful socially. Laughter from the audience is agony for him. He may be slightly oblivious, but understands when he gets things wrong. The laughter is a personal tragedy/failure. RP ACCENT.

DENNIS

The play’s lighting and sound operator. He simply wants to get on with the show. Curmudgeonly and doesn’t care for actors. He is easily distracted and does many things he shouldn’t, including engaging with the audience. When things go really sideways, he is forced to act in the play. He hates acting. STANDARD AMERICAN ACCENT.

TREVOR

A bit bland, but sees himself as a James Bond type. Excited and having fun, but not naïve. He technically has to drive the show. He cares about the play, but not to the same extent as the others. Very Physical role. RP ACCENT.

JONATHAN

She is vain and possess a huge ego. Wants to be loved. Has ambitions to go to Hollywood and will hurt anyone standing in the way of what she wants, but is smart enough to stay on the good side of someone who can help her (like the director). You know the type. The stakes are high for her. Very physical role. RP ACCENT.

SANDRA

The stage manager. She has the biggest journey of any of the characters. When Sandra is indisposed Annie, who cannot bear to be on stage, must step in. Initially terrified by acting, she is willing to kill for it by the end of the play. Her initial terror turns to joy, and then to fury. She starts small, but grows and grows. STANDARD AMERICAN ACCENT.
