SHOW 1: A LOVELY DAY FOR A BOATING TRIP by Lindsey Brown
Stage Reading March 25, 2022
SHORT SYNOPSIS:
A triptych of plays about three lovely days and three not so lovely boating trips as three groups of people each set out in a rowboat with darkly comic results. In play one, a couple set out for open water with their marriage on the brink. Just how far would you trust your spouse? In play two, a bride tests the limits friendship as she tries to escape her wedding. And in play three, a man, his girlfriend, and his grandmother set out for a seemingly cozy picnic on a remote island. But what’s in all those heavy bags he’s bringing?
Plays of the triptych:
(And to kill your spouse) – What breaks first, the boat or the marriage?
(And to escape your own wedding) – Will she, won’t she, why is she running?
(And to get rid of a body) – Nothing like a boating trip to form bonds and find bodies.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
(And to kill your spouse):
GLORIA: (F, 40’s). Married to Graham. Knows what she loves and how to keep them. Determined, brutal, candid.
GRAHAM: (M, 40’s). Married to Gloria. Looks out for number one, but doesn’t always know how to count. Quick on his feet.
(And to escape your own wedding):
SADIE: (F, 30-40’s). The bride. Is starting to become predictable. Determined, adaptive, half-measure thinking.
GWEN: (F, 30-40’s). The best friend and Maid of Honor. A human Swiss army knife. Prepared, compassionate, intense.
(And to get rid of a body):
NANA (Violet Ward): (F, 70+). Has seen her fair share of idiots and that’s probably not over. Intimidating, opinionated, shrewd.
LENO: (M, Early to Mid 20’s). Violet’s grandson. Means well but doesn’t always end well. Kind, waffler, probably knows what he’s doing.
SIERRA: (F, Early to Mid 20’s). Rolls with the punches and sees the cup half full. Quick-thinker, devoted, lovely. (Needs to be able to hold a tune as she sings Amazing Grace.)

SHORT SYNOPSIS:
This laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life. Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
PUPPET CHARACTERS: Ages are an indication of the puppet age in the show, not necessarily the age of the actual puppeteer:
PRINCETON (early 20’s): A fresh-faced kid just out of college. He is looking for his “purpose” in life and is pursuing a career, love and life satisfaction. He is a little naïve to the realities of life, as most people are at that age. Bb2 – G4 Tenor
KATE MONSTER (mid 20’s): A kindergarten teaching assistant, a bit older than Princeton. She is kind, considerate but can have a feisty side. “She’s not weak and she’s definitely not a generic ingénue who gets all swoony and dizzy when it comes to matters of the heart.” F#3 – F5 Soprano (Mezzo)
NICKY (20’s): A bit of a slacker, who lives with Rod. They are best friends but have a fiery relationship and can often be found arguing. B2 – B4 Tenor
ROD (20’s/30’s): A Republican investment banker with a secret…he is struggling with coming to terms with his homosexuality. He comes out over the course of the show. “Rod carries a huge amount of the heart of the show. The actor playing him can have a ball even with the responsibility with keeping him true.” A2 – G4 Tenor
TREKKIE MONSTER (20’s/30’s): A reclusive creature obsessed by the Internet. Although he appears abrupt and rude, a sensitive side is revealed during the show. He has a “Cookie Monster” growl to his voice which would need to be maintained. Bb2 – F#4 Baritone
LUCY (20’s/30’s): A vixenish vamp with a dangerous edge. She has starred in “Girls Gone Wild: Parts 2, 5 and 7”. During the show she seduces Princeton which causes a showdown with Kate. F3 – D5 Alto (Belt)
THE BAD NEWS BEARS (1 x Male, 1 x Female): Two snuggly, cute teddy-bear types who convince people to do bad things!! “The bears always work better when they’re cute cute cute and positive. Diabetes inducing sweet.” Male – Baritone. Female – Mezzo
MRS. T (Ancient): Kate’s boss. She is cranky and bossy.
HUMAN CHARACTERS:
BRIAN (early 30’s-40’s) A laid-back guy married to Christmas Eve. Unemployed but dreams of becoming a famous ‘smutty’ comedian. “Calling a character “ordinary” is never helpful for any actor – but Brian does live in a relaxed, easy-come easy-go world.” B2 – F#4 Baritone
CHRISTMAS EVE (20’s/30’s/40’s) A therapist who has moved here from Japan. Wears the trousers in her relationship with Brian. “She’s super smart. If you go for the easy stereotype the audience won’t find her funny after about eight minutes.” B3 – F#5 Soprano
GARY COLMAN Yes, that Gary Coleman. He lives on the Avenue, too! He’s the superintendent. He is a washed up Z-list celebrity who has had a public personal life. The part can be played by a black male/female. D2 – Bb4/D3 – Bb5* Tenor/Alto (Belt)
This is a production of JD Theatricals which is producing the show at the Long Beach Playhouse.

SHORT SYNOPSIS:
The time is 1905, the place New York City, where Esther, a black seamstress, lives in a boarding house for women and sews intimate apparel for clients who range from wealthy white patrons to prostitutes. She has managed to stuff a goodly sum of money into her quilt over the years. Her plan is to find the right man and use the money she’s saved to open a beauty parlor. She begins to receive beautiful letters from a lonesome Barbadian man named George who is working on the Panama Canal. Esther’s heart seems to lie with the Orthodox Jewish shopkeeper from whom she buys cloth, and his heart with her, but the impossibility of the match is obvious to them both, and Esther consents to marry George. When George arrives in New York, however, he turns out not to be the man his letters painted him to be, and he absconds with Esther’s savings. Esther returns to the boarding house determined to use her gifted hands and her sewing machine to refashion her dreams.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
ESTHER (African American, F, 35) The protagonist of the play; a black seamstress in New York who sews intimate apparel for ladies of all levels of society. She is described by herself and others as being a plain and unattractive woman. (This role requires intimate contact.)
GEORGE (African American, M, 35-50) Barbadian man working on the Panama Canal. Barbadian Accent Required. (This role requires intimate contact.)
MAYME (African American, F, 25-45) A black sex worker. Though Esther disapproves of Mayme’s line of work, the two are close. Mayme initially moved to New York in the hope of playing ragtime piano in fancy clubs in Europe. (This role requires intimate contact.)
MRS. VAN BUREN (Caucasian, F, 25-35) A wealthy white woman for whom Esther sews lingerie. Mrs. Van Buren is mostly successful at disguising her Southern roots, is a part of New York high society but she’s extremely lonely and insecure. (This role requires intimate contact.)
MR. MARKS (Romanian Jew, M, 25-45) A fabric seller who likely immigrated to the U.S. sometime in the last ten years. Mr. Marks is a bright and passionate man; he loves beautiful fabrics and the stories he learns about them. Eastern European Accent Required.
MRS. DICKSON (African American, F, 35+) The woman who owns the boardinghouse where Esther lives. Mrs. Dickson is proper and well to do.

Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

AUDITION REQUIREMENTS:
Bring headshot and resume. Sides for cold readings will be provided at the auditions. Reading the script prior to auditions will be helpful.
Bring your Irish dialect if you have one.
All ethnicities encouraged to audition.
Please bring your vaccination card as written proof of full vaccination to the auditions. Masks will be required at the auditions.
SHORT SYNOPSIS:
Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland in 1934, THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN is a strange comic tale in the great tradition of Irish storytelling. Word arrives on Inishmaan that the Hollywood director Robert Flaherty is coming to the neighboring island of Inishmore to film Man of Aran and is seeking locals to be in the movie. Young Billy Claven, who is known to the townspeople as Cripple Billy, sees this as a chance to escape the tedium, poverty, and gossip of Inishmaan. A dark comedy full of colorful characters, humor and poignancy.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
NOTE: All roles require a mild Irish dialect.
All ethnicities are encouraged to audition for any role.
BILLY CLAVEN (M, 18 – 25 to play 17/18) A boy with physical deformities that render both his left arm and right leg useless. Over the course of the play, Billy attempts to achieve something, anything, by sailing to Inishmore to audition for a role in a film. He is torn between his obligations to his aunts and his own happiness. Shy and unhappy, he wants to be seen as more than his physical handicap and his tragic past.
KATE OSBORNE (F, 45 – 68 to play mid-60s) One of Billy’s anxious, adoptive aunts, Kate is the most worrisome and the most obsessive. She has a habit of talking to stones when she is under stress.
EILEEN OSBOURNE (F, 45 – 68 to play mid-60s) Billy’s other adoptive aunt. She is more grounded than her sister, but is still a worrier when it comes to Billy, especially when he’s off staring at cows. She is a compulsive candy-eater when she is under stress.
JOHNNYPATEENMIKE (M, 45 – 68 to play mid-60s) The town gossip, he embodies the Irish tradition of storytelling. Bitter and full of his own self-importance, he brings the only kind of news available or interesting to the people of Inishmaan – and he expects payment in kind. He is not above lurking in the shadows to get the scoop on local gossip. He has a combative relationship with his 90 year old alcoholic mother, whom he encourages to die on a regular basis.
HELEN (F, 18 – 25 to play 17/18) Fiery, fierce, and just plain mean in one moment, begrudgingly caring in the next, Helen is a young woman who is not to be messed with. Her self-confidence is part of what makes her so attractive to Billy. She is a brutally comic character who throws eggs at priests, stomps on geese, and beheads a cat before the play is through.
BARTLEY (M, 18-24 to play 16/17) Helen’s not-too-bright younger brother, he is a rural teenage boy who obsesses about telescopes and sweets, asks too many questions, incurs Helen’s wrath on a regular basis, and is fascinated by the island’s few unusual qualities. He may represent the boy Billy would have been in a different life.
BABBYBOBBY BENNET (M, early 30s) Handsome, muscular. One of Inishmaan’s resident boatmen, his wife’s premature death has taken a toll on him. He can be gruff, but there is a sadness in him. He is the only character that is able to truly sympathize with Billy.
DOCTOR McSHARRY (M or F, early 40s) Professional, yet exasperated, McSharry is the island doctor who can oftentimes see the extent of the absurdity on the island. McSharry can be cast as either a male or female character.
MAMMY O’DOUGAL (F, 55-70s to play early 90s) Johnny’s ancient, alcoholic, foul-mouthed mother. Johnny would love nothing more than for Mammy to up and die. Thus, she is constantly engaged in spiteful banter with him. Strong comedic role for someone who can play older.

THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN
2022-07-23 20:00 - 2022-08-20 23:00
Billy’s dream of getting away from the island of Inishmaan seems to come true when he gets the chance to meet Hollywood director Robert Flaherty as he comes to the neighboring island of Inishmore to film his next project. Will Billy have the chance to escape his tedious daily life and the casual meanness of the other inhabitants of this small Irish island, or will it all go wrong? Find out in this very funny, darkly comic tale from the playwright who brought us The Lieutenant of Inishmore and the recent Oscar-nominated film, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. McDonagh’s characters will entertain you as they balance on his famous tightrope of cruelty, kindness, humor, and vulnerability.

SHORT SYNOPSIS:
Sherlock Holmes is dead, or is he? Dr. Watson receives a telegram from a mental asylum: three patients are claiming to be Sherlock Holmes. Did the world’s greatest sleuth fake his own death? Who’s the real detective and who are the imposters?
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
NOTE: All Roles will require a British Accent.
WATSON (M, 40s-50s) Any ethnicity. Polite, reserved, detail oriented, everything you’d expect from Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick. However, he is also seemingly a bit at the end of his rope, having suffered many personal losses as of late. He presents himself as Watson in an unfamiliar role, that of the sidekick on his own. He displays a surprising fortitude to make a go of it without Sherlock and is several steps ahead of the situation at all times. (Role Requires a British Accent)
DR. EVANS (M, 40s-50s) Any ethnicity. Silky and officious, he is the man in charge of an Asylum on an isolated island. No nonsense and intense, but with an English gentleman’s demeanor. His assertive charm is mysterious and commanding (Role Requires a British Accent)
ORDERLY/MORIARTY/INSPECTOR (M, 40s-50s) Any ethnicity. One of Dr. Evans’s assistants. Dark, mysterious, and very observant. Says little but sees much. He wears an asylum employee uniform./ Sherlock’s nemesis and suspect at the incident at Reichenbach Falls. He is an older man with a dark and quizzical personality. / Once a comrade of Sherlock’s, he is the one who inspects the incident at the masque ball. Has very prominent black muttonchops. (Role Requires a British Accent)
MATRON/THE WOMAN (F, 35-50) Any ethnicity. Dr. Evans’s other assistant. She wears her own version of the employee uniform, with her hair in a bun. She carries an almost chilly, robotic demeanor. / A beautiful and mysterious woman at the masque ball, helps Client steal a document from Fonseca. (Role Requires a British Accent)
HOLMES 1/THE CLIENT (M, 40s-50s) The first of the three Holmes to arrive at the asylum and to be interviewed, Patient 1 presents the demeanor we expect of Holmes; he is brusque and rather forward with Watson. He wears a jacket, vest and slacks and looks almost identical to the Holmes we all know. / A sinister man who approaches The Woman with a proposition to steal a document from Signor Fonseca. (Role Requires a British Accent)
HOLMES 2 (M, 40s-50s) The second Holmes is disheveled, restless and exhibits the skeptical nature of Sherlock Holmes. He wears a straitjacket and has long hair. (Role Requires a British Accent)
HOLMES 3/SIGNOR FONSECA (M, 40s-50s) The third Holmes also looks similar to the Holmes Watson remembers, but his head is shaved. He does not speak, nor can he appear to hear. His gaze is always forward, as he is in a catatonic state. / A jealous Italian man with a thick accent and a curly black mustache. He is a performer at the masque ball. (Role may require actor to shave their head. Requires a British Accent)

SHORT SYNOPSIS:
Winner of three Tony Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of capitalism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! In a large city a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! This irreverently humorous “comedic romp” reinvigorates the very notion of what a musical could be, with wickedly modern wit and sustained unbridled laughter!
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
NOTE: Actively seeking all ethnicities for all roles
BOBBY STRONG (M, 20-30, A2-C5) The dashing, rebellious everyman who works for Miss Pennywise at the poorest, filthiest town urinal. He becomes an unsuspecting protagonist and romantic hero when he starts a revolution and falls in love with Hope Cladwell.

OFFICER LOCKSTOCK (M, Age: 35+, A2-A4) The tongue-in-cheek narrator of our story, he is a corrupt policeman who secretly kills off the guilty offenders. Bold, brash, and larger than life in many ways.
LITTLE SALLY (F, 20-40, A3-E5) A precocious and irreverent street urchin. She serves as a quasi-narrator who often questions Lockstock and the play’s logic.
PENELOPE PENNYWISE (F, 35+, A3-C6) The tough, jaded warden of the poorest, filthiest town urinal. She is Cladwell’s one-time lover and mother to Hope who eventually softens her temper.
CALDWELL B. BLADWELL (M, 50+, A2-G4) The Evil president and owner of the Urine Good Company. He is a miserly money-grubber who gleefully exploits the poor.
SENATOR FIPP (M, 40+, C#3-F4) A greedy politician in Cladwell’s pocket. A bumbling coward.
JOSEPH “Old Man” STRONG (M, 50+, A2-F4) Bobby’s rebellious father. His refusal to pay the fee sends him to Urinetown, ultimately launching the revolution. Doubles as HOT BLADES HARRY, one of the Poor. He is a psychopathic and can become a violent loose cannon.
OFFICER BARREL (M, 30+, G2-F4) Lockstock’s patrol partner. A thuggish and aggressive policeman.

THE REVOLUTIONISTS
2022-09-03 20:00 - 2022-10-01 23:00
Written by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Madison Mooney and Gregory Cohen
Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world.

SHORT SYNOPSIS:
Alan Ayckbourn’s first big hit, Relatively Speaking is a cleverly crafted comedy of mistaken identity. Young Londoners Greg and Ginny find each other most compatible. But, Ginny tells Greg she isn’t ready for him to meet her parents as she prepares to visit them in the countryside on Sunday morning. By accident Greg discovers the address where Ginny is going and decides to surprise her and his future in-laws by meeting them himself. The address, however, is not the residence of Ginny’s parents, but the country home of Ginny’s former boss and his wife. Hilarious misunderstandings ensue as Greg meets the “parents,” who have a few surprises of their own.
CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
GREG (M, to play 30-35) Handsome fellow in love with Ginny. A bit naïve — perhaps this is his first time taking a relationship seriously. Still searching for a career. The character appears in their undergarments on stage (boxer shorts) and will engage in romantic contact with the character of Ginny (kissing, embracing.) (British accent required.)
GINNY (F, to play 25-30) Lovely young woman in love with Greg, but concealing a past relationship with an older man. Her apartment reflects an energetic participant in the mod London scene of the 1960s. The character appears briefly in their undergarments on stage (1960s period bra and panties) and will engage in romantic contact with the character of Greg (kissing, embracing.) (British accent required.)
PHILIP (M, to play around 50) Dissatisfied long-time husband of Sheila. He has had an affair with his former office underling, Ginny. A successful businessman and gardening aficionado. He suspects his wife is having an affair and wishes to continue his own with Ginny. (British accent required.)
SHEILA: (F, to play 45-50) Philip’s wife. She is sometimes a bit befuddled but is a pleasant, competent housewife and hostess. She keeps her husband guessing about her fidelity to him but also shows concern for him. (British accent required.)

By Alan Ayckbourn
Directed by Allen Sewell
Greg and Ginny find themselves most compatible. But when Greg finds a pair of men’s slippers under Ginny’s bed that aren’t his, she tells him they are her father’s. Ginny is reticent to introduce him to her parents, so Greg decides to surprise her and his future in-laws by meeting them himself. Hilarious misunderstandings ensue as past infidelities are nearly exposed and no one can be sure of who is in love with whom in this deliciously heady British comedy.

Description:
The Best of the Best Show:
It’s the beginning of Season TEN (What?!) for the Long Beach Community Theater and we’re ready to celebrate! Over the past nine years we have had 100’s of participants step behind the mic. to share their true stories and talents! Join us for a smorgasbord-sampler of some of our favorite five-minute pieces from our “big shows”, our two years spent on ZOOM, and our monthly storytelling event, “Speak. Easy.”
Behind the Mask:
What happens when we take our masks off? When does the REAL (insert YOUR name here) get to stand up? AS IS.
Post-pandemic, 12 local artists went on a journey inward to learn more about themselves, their interactions with others, and how they show up in the world. Come witness as they creatively express themselves using storytelling, spoken word, monologues, music, and dance to allow you to see BEHIND THE MASK.
Company Statement:
The Long Beach Community Theater (LBCT) is a unique, storytelling theater where the participants are given a topic and five minutes to share a true story from their lives using any form of performing or visual arts they like: dancing, singing, acting, spoken word, film, or simply storytelling served straight-up – ANYTHING GOES! The LBCT provides a platform and a safe space for our friends and neighbors to express themselves and connect one story at a time. We strive to enhance our understanding of ourselves and others by producing original material revolving around social and cultural issues as well as values pertinent to the lives of our community. We believe everyone has a story and everyone’s story matters!
The LBP Studio Collaborative Season offers outside, local theatre companies and performing arts organizations the opportunity to produce their own shows in our Studio Theater.
