ETC SEEKING ACTORS FOR NEXT PRODUCTION

Island ETC (East-End Theatre Company) is pleased to announce open auditions for all roles in our upcoming production of THE KITCHEN WITCHES by Caroline Smith. Auditions will be held on Sunday and Monday, March 20th and 21st at 7:00pm both evenings. Auditions will be held at ETC, 2317 Mechanic Street, Galveston.

This fun and fast-paced comedy centers on Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle, cable-access cooking show hostesses who have hated each other for 30 years. The hatred began when Larry Biddle dated one of them and married the other. But when they are forced to team up on a television show called “Kitchen Witches,” the show becomes a hit as the insults are flung harder than the food.

Performances for THE KITCHEN WITCHES are May 13th through May 28th. Performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm and Sundays, May 15th and May 22nd at 2:30pm. Rehearsals will begin on Sunday, April 10th. Rehearsals are held Sunday through Thursday evenings from 7:00pm to 10:00pm.

The show is directed by Christopher Pool. Production stage manager is Cameron Dunbar. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Those auditioning are asked to provide a current resume and headshot. (But don’t let not having this keep you from auditioning!)

All roles are available. All actors need strong comedic skills and timing. All actors will receive a production stipend.

DOLLY BIDDLE – 50’s; a little cherub of a woman, prone to being overweight but always going at top speed.

STEPHEN BIDDLE – 30’s; a nervous, shy, prematurely balding but decent young man who actually enjoys producing low-budget cable TV shows, even when his Mom is the star.

ISOBEL LOMAX – 50’s; trained at the Cordon Bleu, enjoyed her own successful career, and thinks that she can teach Martha Stewart a few things about homemaking.

ROB THE CAMERA GUY (or ROBERTA THE CAMERA GIRL) – This is the busiest character in the show with only one line. This character frightens Stephen a bit. Must be extremely efficient and precise.
