This production will be a modern version of the 1960's Woody Allen play and it will be set in China rather than Russia. Here is a list of characters and brief descriptions of what I am looking for:

Ambassador Magee/Armed Guard/Sultan - Male, 40's-60's, severe and authoritative. Prefer a heavier actor, but not necessary.

Kilroy/Kasnar - Male or Female 20's-50's, passive aggressive know-it-all. Has it in for Axel.

Axel Magee - Male lead 20's-30's, means well but things never turn out right, clumsy, GREAT COMEDIC TIMING especially physically.

Walter Hollander - Male 40's-60's, loves to complain, grumpy, disagreeable, New Jersey accent a plus, also needs to be a comedy actor. *NOT looking for a Woody Allen type*

Marion Hollander - Female 40's-60's, sweet, aggreeable, patient, also from New Jersey but shouldn't come off as annoying.

Susan Hollander - Female lead 20's, fiery, imaginative, wants something more than just the humdrum life she's been given, also from New Jersey.

Krojack - Male 30's-60's, intense agent for the Chinese government, wants nothing less than Walter's head on a stick. Prefer a Chinese actor, but not necessary.

Burns - Male or Female any age, fumbling office assistant.

Chef - Male or Female any age, eccentric, over the top.

Father Drobney - Male over 40, possibly Italian, can be calm and dramatic as well as excitable.


Look forward to seeing you at auditions!

Ohana Theatre Company (Houston's newest FOR-PROFIT) announces auditions for their premiere production of AWESOME AMERICA!

Take a look at the YouTube audition trailer here:

YouTube

Ohana Theatre Company invites you to audition for our premiere production of the World Premiere of AWESOME AMERICA!! (Sept 28-Oct 6 at the Barnevelder!)

THE STORY: Four plays make up the evening of theatre known as AWESOME AMERICA! - giving audiences a glimpse of our country through stories inspired by real-life roadside attractions. Pamela Jamruszka Mencher's WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BIG NOSE GEORGE? recounts the strange case of George Parrott - the legendary Wyoming outlaw who was eventually caught, skinned, and "transformed" in the most bizarre way imaginable. Next, Scott Gibson's TWO-POINT-FIVE takes us to Four Corners for a spiritual journey of discovery for a group of tourists who happen upon a mysterious woman with a history connecting her to the site. Then, Diana Howie's heartbreaking THE PROMISE OF THE MOON takes us to the exotic Coral Castle in Florida in which a man builds his fortress one block at a time in order to win the heart of his true love in Europe. Finally, Gene Kato's PERSPECTIVES ON THE JOHN takes us to the Toilet Seat Museum in San Antonio, TX where two teenagers, a toilet seat, and a clump of mud cause an examination of the true nature of art.

This play has over 20 roles for actors in their teens up.

Auditions will take place April 14th and 15th at Mulberry Dreams Studios in Humble (located at 300 Main St.) and will consist of imporovisation and cold readings from the script. THE SHOW WILL BE PERFORMED IN DOWNTOWN HOUSTON at the Barnevelder Studio.

The Bay Area Harbour Playhouse in Dickinson, TX is in need of 5 men and 1 woman (middle aged) to be cast in "Wrong Window!" Rehearsals start this week and the show runs March 23-April 15. If interested call Pat Bowen at 832-350-3182 http://www.harbourplayhouse.com/

Van Zandt & Milmore pay tribute to Master of Horror Alfred Hitchcock, with this comedy whodunit. Off-and-on New York couple Marnie and Jeff enter an even more complicated phase of their relationship when they think they spy their cross-courtyard neighbor do away with his wife. After they draw their torn curtain, the lady vanishes, and suspicion places murder beyond a shadow of a doubt. The bumbling witnesses sneak into their neighbor's apartment - 39 steps away - and the fun begins. Among multiple door-slammings, body-snatchings, and a frantic flashlight chase scene, two questions remain: Who killed Lila Larswald? And… if she's not dead…then who is? The crazy farce plays out on a shadow-box set that allows the audience to be present in one apartment, while viewing the action in its mirror-image neighboring unit across the way. "Take the money and run to this window before it closes!" Two River Times.

"If you're a fan of Rear Window on screen, you'll award Wrong Window on stage a perfect 10. A barrage of gag-filled dialogue. Knee-slappingly funny from start to finish! Take the money and run to this window before it closes!" -Philip Dorian, Two River Times

"Fever-pitched one liners, puns, slapstick, pratfalls...There are probably no people in America more adept at conveying these classic comic styles than Van Zandt & Milmore, with their wacky anything for a laugh adventuring and willingness to toss all actorly dignity out the window!" -Tom Chesek, Asbury Park Press

MUSICAL COMEDY AUDITION

Directed & Choreographed by: Linda Phenix
Musical Director Claudia Dyle

Book and Lyrics by Adam Mathias Music by Brad Alexander
Regional Premiere

WINNER! 2011 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book, Adam Mathias.
Winner of the 2008 Richard Rodgers Award and the 2007 Jerry Bock Award,

See Rock City & Other Destinations is a contemporary musical about connections missed and made at tourist destinations across America. A wanderer believes his destiny is written on rooftops along the North Carolina Interstate. A young man yearns to connect with intelligent life in Roswell, New Mexico. A woman at the Alamo steps out of the shadow of her grandparents’ idealized romance to take a chance on love. Three estranged sisters cruise to Glacier Bay to scatter their father's ashes. Two high school boys face unexpected fears in the Coney Island Spook House. A terrified bride-to-be ponders taking the leap...over Niagara Falls.

With a score that incorporates pop, rock, folk and more, each story builds on the last to create a vivid travelogue of Americans learning to overcome their fears and expectations in order to connect. At each destination, the travelers discover not only a new landscape, but their innermost, secret selves.
