Audition information
- Monday, July 15, and Tuesday, July 16, at 7:00 p.m.
- Callbacks Tuesday, July 16, at 7:30 p.m.
- Auditions take place at Town & Gown (click here for directions and map).
- Cold reading. Do not prepare a monolog. You do not need an appointment.
- Speech: Your native way of speaking, please. The director has an irrational dislike of put-on accents in community theater. Just remember, marmalade rhymes with façade.
- Calendar: Bring your appointment book to auditions. We will ask you to list your other engagements during the rehearsal period.
- Age: Lettice and Lotte will play 40s or 50s; Miss Framer, younger; Mr. Bardolph, to be decided at the time.
- Extras: Several people will play crucial parts but will have only a line or two, or none at all. If you positively want to be on stage but don't positively hanker to speak, this is the show for you.
