AUDITIONS!!!!

This Spring the Playhouse will be holding auditions for two upcoming productions this Summer and Fall.

April 27 and 28, 2011: One woman – middle-aged or older

Auditions for the role of Eleanor of Aquitaine in the historical drama The Lion 
in Winter by James Goldman will be held Wednesday, April 27, 2011, 6-8 pm in the
Massanutten Regional Library Meeting room. The part requires an attractive 
middle-aged to older woman (remember Katherine Hepburn in the movie version?); Henry II, King of England, will be played by Ted Schwarz, of “Tedandcompany.”
There are also four male roles (Henry’s sons and the king of France) for actors
aged 20-50, and a 20-30 year old female character, Alais Capet. These five parts
will be cast at auditions on Thursday and Friday, September 1st and 2nd, after
which rehearsals will begin. The Lion in Winter will run November 2-6 and 9-13,
2011. **Please note participation in The Lion in Winter will not interfer with participating with our summer production The End of the World As We Know It.

May 9 and 10: 7 women and 5 men from age 18 to 60+ and one part for a young girl.

The Playhouse will hold auditions for our summer show May 9 and 10 at 6:00 PM at Massanutten Regional Library in Harrisonburg. We’re very excited about our show this year which is “The End Of The World As We Know It”– a new comedy by Jay Zehr. This is a very funny script with great parts for at least 7 women and 5 men from age 18 to 60+ and one part for a young girl. No prepared material is necessary and those of all experience levels are encouraged to audition. There will some small parts and/or non-speaking roles that would be great for those looking for their first experience on stage.Performances are August 3-14 at Court Square Theater.
Copies of the script are on reserve at Massanutten Library.
