AUDITION OPPORTUNITIES
We will be having auditions for two productions in the first two weeks of June:
"PLAYING DOCTOR"
by William Van Zandt and Jane Milmore
Directed by Dave Hanson
Monday, June 4 and Tuesday, June 5 at 7pm
Rob Brewster's parents are very, very proud of their son the doctor. What they don't know is that Rob has used all the money they gave him for medical school to live on as he as has pursued his fledgling writing career. Inevitably, Rob's day of reckoning comes when his parents arrive for a visit. Quickly, he enlists the help of his secretary to be his nurse and his roommate Jimmy to round up his actor friends to pretend to be patients. Complications ensue when Jimmy decides he is such a good actor that he can impersonate all the patients, with the help of a trunk of costumes and bad dialects! The authors have written some zany farces but this one may just be their zaniest. It is great fun to perform, and great fun to see.

"Wonderful... wacky comedy... will undoubtedly become standard dinner theatre fare across the country... contains more wit than is usual in sex farce."
- Asbury Park Press.
All roles are available: Rob Brewster - male, early 20s; Max Blake - male, mid-20s to 30s; Jimmy Carmichael - male, early 20s; Chuck Murdock - male, mid-20s to 30s; Robert Brewster III - Rob's father – 50s to 60s; Janet Brewster - Rob's mother, 50s to 60s, Maureen - female mid-20s; Uncle Harold - male 30+.

"ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST"
by Dale Wasserman, adapted from the novel by Ken Kesey

Directed by Susan Patterson & Scott Pollak

Monday, June 11 & Tuesday, June 12 – 7:00 p.m.

This American classic that takes place in an early 1960's mental institution combines dry humor with deeply instropective looks into a wide variety of personalities, psyches, and human interaction.

The debut of the stage play featured Kirk Douglas, Gene Wilder and Ed Ames. Jack Nicholson stole the show in the film version in 1976. Now it's our turn!

Because of the size and breadth of the cast, there is room – and a need – for actors of all kinds, from brand new beginners on up to seasoned pros. Come prepared to do cold readings.

CAST:
Chief Bromden: Tall, imposing Indian; very quiet and somber – male, 30-50 years old
Aides Williams, Washington and Turkel: strong supporting roles – males, 20's – 40's
Nurse Ratched: Stern, controlling – female, 40's – 50's
Nurse Flinn: Ass't to Nurse Ratched – female, 20's – 30's
Dr. Spivey: male, 50's
Randle McMurphy: boisterous, egotistical, bigger-than-life, the show's centerpiece – male, 40's – 50's

The patients:
Dale Harding: Intellectually hen-pecked – male, 40's – 60's
Billy Bibbitt: shy and introverted with a pronounced stutter – male, 20's
Charles Cheswick: male, 30's – 50's
Frank Scanlon: male, 40's – 60's
Anthony Martini: male, 30's – 50's
