Auditions: Barefoot in the Park

Southside Theatre Guild

Details

Paul and Corie Bratter — newlyweds in every sense of the word — move into a cramped 6th-floor Manhattan walk-up after a passionate six-day honeymoon. Impulsive and free-spirited, Corie is the opposite of Paul, a straight-as-an-arrow young lawyer struggling to prove himself in his new career. Eccentric neighbors, an Albanian dinner party, too much Greek uzu, and Corie’s antics playing matchmaker lead to trouble in paradise in this fast-paced witty comedy by acclaimed playwright Neil Simon.

Synopsis:

Next To Normal explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Winner of three 2009 TONY Awards including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize,

Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal, because the mother has been battling manic depression for 16 years. Next To Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart.

This deeply moving piece of theatre is an emotional powerhouse that addresses such issues as grieving a loss, mental illness, and suburban life.

LIST OF CHARACTERS

Reverend Mother: Age 50-60: Reserved, in charge, but with a sense of humor that always shines through.

Sister Hubert: Age 30-50: Second in command (which she takes very seriously) and in charge of the novices; sometimes shows frustration with decisions of Rev. mother; often seems to think she’s the one who should be in charge.

Sister Robert Anne: Age 25-35: Street smart (came from Brooklyn and a tough life); great voice; though totally dedicated to God and the convent, she has a not-so-secret wish “to be a star,” and the Reverend Mother seems determined to frustrate that wish. Tough but has heart of gold.

Sister Amnesia: Age 20s-30s: She had a severe blow to the head (which was discussed in the original show, NUNSENSE), and though she’s recovered some of her memory, still is forgetful and an innocent, and blunders often—but always endearingly (and amusingly).

Sister Mary Leo: Small part in beginning of show, played by Stage Manager—age determined via auditions

Father Virgil – Brother of Sister Leo, Age 30′s to 40ish: Has agreed to help sisters and is Master of Ceremonies. Has his own radio show. Must be ready to do a lot of physical comedy.

Four children, ages 8-11 to 14, 2 boys 2 girls—really looking for middle school age, but might go as young as a MATURE 8.

Be prepared to sing traditional Christmas carols (i.e., “We Three Kings”; “Jingle Bells”; “The First Noel”; “Silent Night”, among others) to show your range and ability. Actual songs from the show will be played and you’ll want to be able to pick up on them at callbacks; no monologue required. Be prepared to do cold readings, and also to learn the variations on the Christmas carols which are used in the show. You can go tohttp://www.allmusic.com/album/nuncrackers-nunsense-christmas-musical-mw0000669631 to listen to samples of the actual songs.

Time Period – 1980s

Settings Of Play – Various locations in Washington, D.C. and on the United States Naval Base in Guantanomo Bay, Cuba. Summer, 1986. (based on actual events)

In this military courtroom drama by Aaron Sorkin (writer/creator of the TV Show The West Wing), Navy lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee is assigned to defend two Marines, Pfc. Louden Downey and Lance Cpl. Harold Dawson. The two marines are accused of the murder of fellow leatherneck Pfc. William T. Santiago at the base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Kaffee generally plea bargains for his clients rather than bring them to trial, which is probably why he was assigned this potentially embarrassing case for the US Military. When Lt. Commander JoAnne Galloway is assigned to assist Kaffee, she is convinced that the there is more to the matters at hand than they have been led to believe and convinces her colleagues that the case should go to court. Under questioning, Downey and Dawson reveal that Santiago died in the midst of a hazing ritual known as “Code Red” after he threatened to inform higher authorities that Dawson illegally opened fire on a Cuban watchtower. They also state that the “Code Red” was performed under the orders of Lt. Jonathan Kendrick. Kendrick’s superior, tough-as-nails Col. Nathan Jessup denies any knowledge of the order to torture Santiago, but when Lt. Col. Matthew Markinson confides in Kaffee that Jessup demanded the “Code Red” for violating his order of silence, Kaffee and Galloway have to find a way to prove this in court. The show’s climax culminates in the final courtroom scene and the famous speech given by Col. Nathan Jessup that begins with the phrase, “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!” This intense show is presented in 2 acts.
