Audition dates:
Sat February 15th at 1 pm and Sun February 16th at 1 pm
Callbacks (if needed) are Tues Feb 18th at 7pm
Audition location:
Rise Church, 10445 SW Canterbury Lane, Tigard OR 97224
(Downstairs “middle school room” - keep an eye out for posted signs.)
Performance Dates:
May 2 – 18 2025, Fri/Sat 7:30pm, Sun 2:30pm
at Rise Church in Tigard
BE AWARE THAT THIS IS A HIGHLY PHYSICAL SLAPSTICK FARCE.
REHEARSALS AND PERFORMANCES WILL SEEM LIKE A 2 HOUR AEROBICS CLASS.
Most of the male roles will include some running and jumping. The role of Ms Skillon will include significant physical comedy.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from sides from the script - see below for obtaining copies. There are multiple accents in the show from American to proper British, to Cockney British to Russian. You do not need to have a polished accent during the audition.
Synopsis:
The swift action, impossibly hilarious situations and rib-tickling plot in this long-running London hit will leave audiences exhausted with laughter. In an English vicarage, the vicar and his wife are overwhelmed by a barrage of colorful guests, including an American actress, an American G.I. stationed with the Air Force in England, a cockney maid who has seen too many American movies, an old dowager who “touches alcohol for the first time in her life,” a sedate Bishop aghast at all these goings-on, and four men in identical clerical suits, one of whom is an escaped prisoner.
Roles:
Casting 9 actors, 3 f 6 m - the ages below are a guideline.
All roles are available and are voluntary without pay. Individuals of all levels, all experiences, and all ethnicities are invited to audition.
All actors (other than Penelope - American, Clive- American and The Intruder - Russian) will be expected to use a British accent for the show, but it is not necessary to have this accent ready for auditions.
