Auditions this Week
Upstage Players auditions will be held August 22nd & 26th
Upstage Players community theatre will be holding auditions for its November production of You Can’t Take it with You by Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman. Auditions will be held at the Littleton Opera House on Wednesday, August 22nd from 7PM to 9PM and Sunday, August 26th from 2PM to 4PM. Callbacks to follow on the 26th if necessary from 5PM to 9PM.
About the Show
Kaufman and Hart’s batty reflection on the madness of sanity in a mad world remains as insightful and delightful as when it first graced the stage. Tony, attractive young son of the unhappily affluent Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore. He decides to bring his parents to dine at the joyous quirky home of the Sycamore’s. Unfortunately, it’s on the wrong evening. In a house where you do as you like, no questions asked, they encounter the open circle of Sycamore family and friends. This includes a novel novelist, devoted dancer, ballet master, ex-Grand Duchess waitress, amateur printer, tax evaders, society shirkers, and free thinkers.
The evening explodes into hysterical, and all too real, fireworks. 19 roles of different size and requirement need to be cast. The full breakdown is available on the Upstage Players website. Actors should prepare a short monologue or poem from contemporary theater repertoire. They may also be asked to read from the script.
This show should not be missed!
