a night in the theatre


directed by: Mark Batell
show dates: october 15-24, 2010
auditions: August 14 at 7pm and August 15 at 3pm (those auditioning need attend only one)
Callbacks: August 16 at 5:30pm
audition information: A Night in the Theatre is a comedy about the fragility and durability of love and friendship.  We join two middle-aged couples as they go on one of their weekly cultural outings, this time to see a theatrical performance of Hamlet.  We overhear their conversation, recognizing those obnoxious audience members who always seem to sit directly behind us.  Perhaps, we are also offered a glimpse of ourselves.  Will any of us survive the encounter?
The cast consists of four people, two men and two women, all between the ages of 30 and 50:
Walter Pace: self-appointed leader and pseudo-intellectual of the group.  (195 lines)
Margaret Locker: overly chatty, more interested in being with friends than in where they go.  (147 lines)
Stanley Locker: complaining and ignorant.  (170 lines)
Donna Pace: ditsy and oblivious.  (141 lines)
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
