Sibley \nDENOUEMENT (formerly titled The Last Comrade) is the story of the death of a certain kind of unsung American hero who lived in the first half of the last century and did much to change the future of this country. It’s based on the life of Phil Raymond\, the man who built the Auto Workers Union which became the UAW\, CIO. He was the man who led the sit-down strike against GM in Flint\, Michigan in 1933. The inspiration for this story comes from a conversation he had with his screenwriter son days before he died in 1989. \nCAST LIST: \n\nCarl Da Silva (MURRAY)\nSonja Inge (TISHA)\nSarah Hoeven (MILDRED)\nSean Fisher (MARTY)\nAnthony Pierre Christopher (DOCTOR\, ANNOUNCER\, ANGRY WORKERS)\n\nLINK TO ONLINE DIGITAL PROGRAM FOR THE READINGS \n  \nTHE CLIPPER\nNon-Local Winner of the LBP New Works Festival 2020 \n \nBy Maryanne Melloan Woods \nDirected by Austin James \nA baby shower\, some wine and a garden of truths forces Joyce to decide if she will engage in her family or shrink from life altogether.

Disguised as a nun\, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir\, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but\, in doing so\, blows her cover. Soon\, the gang is giving chase\, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nNOTE: All roles are singing roles. \nMost roles also require dancing/moving well. \nAll ethnicities are strongly encouraged to audition.  All roles are open to any ethnicity unless indicated in the character description. \nDeloris Van Cartier (F – 25-35\, Ethnicity: African American\, Vocal Range: E3-F#5) An aspiring performer\, trying to find both fame and a place in the world. When forced to hide in a convent\, she initially refuses to embrace her lifestyle but learns to embrace it when she works with the choir. Loud-mouthed\, and sassy\, but ultimately caring. \nMother Superior (F – 50-70\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: D3-E5) The head of the convent\, sarcastic and a bit stiff. Extremely protective about keeping her sisters away from the outside world\, which puts her in direct opposition to Deloris and her musical teachings. \nSister Mary Robert (F – 16-25\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: F#3-A5) A postulant\, abandoned as a baby and raised at the convent. Shy and soft-spoken but singing with Deloris lets her find her voice. Her wallflower lifestyle has made her live a shell of a life. \nSister Mary Patrick (F – 35-50\, All Ethnicities) A nun of the convent. Consistently perky\, enthusiastic\, and easily excitable. \nSister Mary Lazarus (F – 50-70\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: F3-B4) A nun of the convent and the head of the choir. Rather deadpan and the least welcoming of any of the nuns\, but she gets caught up in Deloris’s soul music. \nMonsignor O’Hara (M – 45-60\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: G4-E3) One of the heads of the convent. Constantly concerned with financial matters\, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood. Speaks with the soulful bass-baritone of Barry White or a late night R&B radio station DJ. \nCurtis (M – 30-40\, Ethnicity: African American\, Vocal Range: A2-Ab4) A Club owner\, notorious gangster\, and Deloris’s boyfriend. Cocky and controlling\, always on the verge of violence. \nEddie Souther (M – 25-35\,  Ethnicity: African American\, Vocal Range: Ab2-B4) The desk chief at the Philadelphia police station and a high school classmate of Deloris who helps get her into hiding. Faces a lot of nerves when under pressure\, causing him to sweat profusely. He still yearns for Deloris after all these years\, and dreams of being her hero. \nTJ (M – 16-30\, Ethnicity: African American\, Vocal Range: Db3-Eb5) Curtis’s nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact\, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss. \nJoey (M – 30-40\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: Bb2-Eb5) One of Curtis’s thugs. Believes himself to be quite the ladies man. \nPablo (M – 25-40\, Ethnicity: Latinx\, Vocal Range: C4-F5) One of Curtis’s thugs. A natural follower\, constantly speaks Spanish. \nSister Mary Martin-of-tours (F– 40-60\, All Ethnicities) A Nun of the convent. Clearly in her own world\, but has her moments of surprising clarity. \nSister Mary Theresa (F– 60-70\, All Ethnicities) A nun of the convent\, the oldest of the group. Decrepit at first glance but secretly packs a punch. \nMichelle (F– 20-30\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: Bb3-F5) One of Deloris’s back-up singers. Lippy and always quick with a retort. \nTina (F– 20-30\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: Ab3-F5) One of Deloris’s back-up singers. A little thick and naïve. \nErnie (M – 25-35\, All Ethnicities) One of Curtis’s thugs. Initially thought to be a mindless yes-man\, he turns out to be an undercover police informant. \nEnsemble (All Ages\, All Ethnicities) Nuns; Bar Denizens (Bar Patron\, Waitress\, Pool Player\, Drag Queen); Homeless People; Fantasy Dancers; Alter Boys URL:https://lbplayhouse.org/event/auditions-sister-act-the-musical/ CATEGORIES:Auditions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lbplayhouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Sister-Act-Audition-Banner-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210911T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211009T230000 DTSTAMP:20260404T152304 CREATED:20190709T212434Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211007T192106Z UID:4839-1631390400-1633820400@lbplayhouse.org SUMMARY:NOISES OFF DESCRIPTION:For those who love a good British farce\, imagine the joy of being able to watch the mayhem going on behind the scenes.  Imagine no longer as we bring you “backstage” during the rehearsals and performances of a comedy that goes hilariously wrong over its months of production.  As this troupe of actors presents an awful flop called Nothing On\, doors slam\, cues are missed\, and lives and careers dangle in the balance during what has been called “the funniest farce ever written.”  Come laugh your sardines off as you experience possibly the most horrendously funny performance ever presented. \n\nCAST LIST:\n\nAndrea Stradling (DOTTY OTLEY)\nEric Schiffer (LLOYD DALLAS)\nJohn Vann (GARRY LEJEUNE)\nAmara Phelps (BROOKE ASHTON)\nLyndsay Palmer (POPPY NORTON-TAYLOR)\nTravis Wade (FREDERICK FELLOWES)\nAdanna Kenlow (BELINDA BLAIR)\nPJ Cimacio (TIM ALLGOOD)\nLewis P.

About 8 years ago\, he delivered ice to the house\, and never left.

But\, she fits in with this family to a tee. \nDONALD (M\, 30’s) – Rheba’s boyfriend. He is “on relief\,” and therefore spends most of his time with Rheba and the family. He enjoys bringing flies for the snakes\, and helping out around the house. \nBORIS KOLENKHOY (M\, 50’s-60’s) – A Russian émigré\, Kolenkhov is Essie’s private ballet instructor. “He is enormous\, hairy\, loud\, and very\, very Russian.” (Requires a Russian accent.) \nMR.

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. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nPUPPET CHARACTERS: Ages are an indication of the puppet age in the show\, not necessarily the age of the actual puppeteer: \nPRINCETON (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 \nKATE 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) \nNICKY (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  \nROD (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  \nTREKKIE 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  \nLUCY (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)  \nTHE 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  \nMRS. T (Ancient): Kate’s boss. She is cranky and bossy.  \nHUMAN CHARACTERS: \nBRIAN (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  \nCHRISTMAS 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  \nGARY 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)  \nThis is a production of JD Theatricals which is producing the show at the Long Beach Playhouse.
