Community Theatre To Hold Auditions For Spring Play
November 9, 2016 at 7:51 p.m.
By Staff Report-
Auditions will be Nov. 28 and 29, with call-backs Dec. 1 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the basement fellowship hall of Warsaw First United Methodist Church.
The cast of “The Curious Savage” will include five males with ages ranging from 20 to 60 and six females with ages ranging from 20 to 75.
The audition format will be a cold reading, in which participants read directly from the script, rather than preparing monologues. The organization asks that cast hopefuls come with their schedules of conflicts starting Dec. 5 until the show ends. Those attending should also understand that this is an ensemble show and will require everyone to be at most rehearsals, according to a news release from the Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts. A potential schedule will be announced at the auditions.
Performances are scheduled for Feb. 17, 18, 24, 25 and 26 at Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts. The show will be directed by Melissa Jordan. Performances start at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and the organization has added a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. the second weekend. Cost will be $12 per ticket.
First produced in 1950, “The Curious Savage” is a satire, according to the organization. In the show, Ethel Savage has inherited $10 million from her late husband but her spoiled (adult) stepchildren commit her to The Cloisters, a sanatorium, in an attempt to get their hands on the fortune which Savage has hidden. While at The Cloisters, Savage meets the other residents who each have issues of their own but their kindness, when contrasted against the Savage children, leaves the audience wondering who the sane ones really are.
The Center Street Community Theatre is under the Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts umbrella. The community theatre's past productions include “You Can't Take It With You,” “Almost Maine,” “M*A*S*H,” “The Foreigner” and "Over the River and Through the Woods."
Those who are interested in acting are invited to join the theatre for auditions, the release states.
Opportunities this year have expanded to not only helping back stage and technically, but also by having community theater members ushering and helping with concessions.
Their open community meeting is at 7 p.m. Dec. 5 at Wagon Wheel Center For The Arts.
