SUMMARY:HAMLET
DESCRIPTION:HAMLET\nBy William Shakespeare\, adapted by James Rice and Amanda Karr\nPlaying the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater\nApril 6 – May 4\, 2024\nDirected by James Rice\nPeer into the mind of Shakespeare’s most dynamic character\, HAMLET\, in a unique adaptation of the bard’s most compelling masterpiece. As Hamlet experiences the death of his father\, he is visited by his father’s ghost seeking justice for his murder. Hamlet is shaken by this experience as his potential madness is made tangible when other actors start to take on the aspects of his splintering mind.  The story proceeds as Shakespeare told it\, but with a core Hamlet and four others playing his innocence\, wisdom\, justice\, and vengeance. Come see the story you know and appreciate\, but with an exciting twist that illuminates the play anew for those familiar and unfamiliar with this seminal tale. \nBUY TICKETS HERE :\nCHOOSE A DATE:\nTHIS PRODUCTION CLOSED MAY 4\, 2024 \nUnable to make it in person?

SUMMARY:MEN ON BOATS
DESCRIPTION:MEN ON BOATS\nProduced by JD Theatricals in collaboration with the Long Beach Playhouse.\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater\nApril 27 – May 25\, 2024\nBy Jaclyn Backhaus\nDirected by Meredith Miranda\nMEN ON BOATS is the true(ish) history of the 1869 expedition of the Grand Canyon when ten explorers\, in four boats\, lead by a one-armed captain\, set out to chart the course of the Colorado River. In an off the canyon-walls funny comedy\, the stalwartness\, the selfishness\, the cockiness\, and the cluelessness of this crew of insane yet loyal adventurers drips with satire as some of the roles are gender swapped.  This is a rollicking adventure that turns the American myth of man-ifest destiny on end and challenges the notion of who gets to make history with respect to its bold if fallible pioneers. \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\nTHIS PRODUCTION CLOSED ON MAY 25\, 2024 \nLBP’s Opening Night Gala for MEN ON BOATS is sponsored by the Port of Long Beach!

You will need to bring your own sheet music for your audition song. Please no Sondheim or Jason Robert Brown songs as these are hard to sight-read in an audition setting. All auditioners will need to sing with the accompanist – no a capella or recorded tracks. \nPlease be prepared to dance. \nSides for cold readings will be provided at the auditions/callbacks. \nSHORT SYNOPSIS:  \nWednesday Addams has grown up and fallen in love with a “normal” nice young man.  It’s time to introduce the families and\, Gomez\, Morticia\, Fester and the rest of the classically dark and morbid family must alter their behaviors to keep their beloved daughter happy (and her boyfriend’s family intact). \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nAll ethnicities and gender identities will be considered for all roles. \nGOMEZ ADDAMS (M\, 40s-60s) The patriarch of the Addams Family – a loving father\, a passionate husband\, and (possibly) a homicidal maniac. (Vocal Range: Bb2-G4) \nMORTICIA ADDAMS (F\, late 30s-60s) The mother of the brood and object of Gomez’s adoration.  She is a strong matriarch and a beautiful\, but potentially dangerous\, presence. Strong dance skills a plus. (Vocal Range: G3-Bb5) \nUNCLE FESTER (M\, 30s-70s) Gomez’s oddly sexless brother.  He is in love with the moon (literally).  The narrator of the show. Willing to shave head a plus. (Vocal Range: C3-G4) \nGRANDMA (F or M\, Ancient) The Addams grandmother (unsure what side).  Tiny\, yet fierce\, matriarchal figure\, whose witchlike presence creates dire consequences for the families. (Vocal Range: G4-F5) \nWEDNESDAY ADDAMS (F\, 18-early 20s) The main focus of the love story within the production. She is battling her natural dark nature with the discovery of the brightness of being in love. (Vocal Range: A3-E5) \nPUGSLEY ADDAMS (M or F to play Male\, Pre-teen to Teenager) Wednesday’s younger brother.  Fears losing the torturous relationship he has with his sister.  Ideally on the chubby side. (Vocal Range: A3-F5) \nLURCH (M\, 20s – 80s) The Addams incredibly tall\, possibly undead\, mostly silent butler.  Has very few lines beyond grunts and growls\, but does have one solo in the finale. (Vocal Range: Eb2-E4) \nLUCAS BEINEKE (M\, 20s) Wednesday’s love interest.  A good-looking\, wealthy\, seemingly normal young man who is inexplicably attracted to the dark beauty that is Wednesday. (Vocal Range: C3-C5) \nMAL BEINEKE (M\, 40s-60s) Lucas’ stuck-up businessman father.  Must be able to bring the humor to this humorless banker-type and show the marital love buried deep within his complacency. (Vocal Range: C3-A4) \nALICE BEINEKE (F\, 40s-60s) Lucas’ frustrated\, yet loving mother.  She longs to break the bonds of marital boredom and find passion once more. (Vocal Range: Ab3-G#5) \nADDAMS ANCESTORS (4 M\, 4 F) The ensemble for the show.  Must have strong vocal and dance skills. \nBEGINNING REHEARSAL SCHEDULE: \n\n\nThe-Addams-Family-Beg.-Rehearsal-Schedule-V.2Download

SWEAT explores the tension within the group portraying how the themes of identity\, politics\, and race surface within friends now faced with sudden job insecurity.  \nThe play opens in 2008\, where we meet Jason and Chris as they individually speak to their parole officer\, Evan. A chance encounter between the two former friends brings them back to face the event that completely altered the course of their lives and the lives of those closest to them. As the play switches back to 2000\, we meet best friends Tracey\, Cynthia\, and Jessie who all work together and love to hang out at the local watering hole.The bartender Stan\, who used to work at the factory with them until he suffered an injury and the busboy Oscar with rising aspirations. Conflicts emerge as upcoming promotions and rumors of cut wages threaten the friends’ loyalty. We are left hoping that the group is able to make amends before any lasting damage is done.  \nNOTE TO ACTORS: This show contains many racially charged moments and language. The characters of Jason and Tracey in particular use racially charged language. Jason will have to say n****. This role in particular will require an elevated level of maturity. All moments and language will be handled with care. There will be many discussions regarding race\, xenophobia\, and how Lynn Nottage intended for her work to present these themes\, amongst others. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nEVAN (M\, 40’s)  African American. The parole officer for both Jason and Chris. He is a straight\, no chaser kinda guy who  believes in tough love and does not back down.  \nJASON (M\, 21/29)  White American of German descent. Chris’s best friend and Tracey’s son.  He is very proud of himself and his family history. He tends not to be aware of how the way he says things affects others\, nor does he care until forced to reflect on himself. \nCHRIS  (M\, 21/29)  African-American. Cynthia and Brucie’s son and Jason’s best friend. Trying to navigate his way through a world not built in his favor. He is stuck between following in the footsteps of his father as a factory employee\, or heeding his mother’s advice and going to school. \nSTAN (M\, 50s)  White American of German descent. Stan is a former steel worker who became a bartender after getting injured at the plant leaving him with a permanent limp. He manages the bar where everyone hangs out and does his very best to keep the collective peace. He is the glue that keeps the group together.  \nOSCAR  (M\, 22/30)  Colombian-American. An employee of the bar\, Oscar is a hardworking young man with aspirations to rise far above his current situation. Always considered an outsider and not afforded many job opportunities\, he crosses the picket line when the plant offers more than what he makes at the bar.  \nTRACEY  (F\, 45/53)  White American of German descent. Jason’s mom and best friend of Cynthia and Jessie. Tracey is a strong willed\, quick tongued\, no nonsense woman\, also one of the hardest workers at Olstead’s. Opinionated and proud of the work her family has done\, she has been working at the plant for over twenty years\, following her father and grandfather.. Much like her son\, she doesn’t care if what she says offends you or hurts your feelings. She feels betrayed by Cynthia after she receives a  promotion.  \nCYNTHIA  (F\, 45/53)  African-American. Chris’s mom and best friends with Tracey and Jessie. She is determined to not only do well for herself\, but to also see her son Chris do well. She is ambitious and applies for the promotion that moves her up to a managerial position. But when management wants to cut wages\, Cynthia finds herself pitted against her friends. Cynthia is compelling and full of layers and fully understands the pressure and importance of being a black woman in a white world. \nJESSIE (F\, 40’s)  Italian-American. Good friend of Cynthia and Tracey. Jessie tries her best to remain neutral between Cynthia and Tracey\, but later this neutrality is broken. She struggles with alcohol and inadvertently is often the comic relief with a glass of something always near. She’s forced to reckon with her failed dreams of wanting more for her life after landing job at the plant and never leaving.  \nBRUCIE (M 40’s) African-American. Chris’s father and Cynthia’s estranged husband. He has fallen on hard times and becomes involved with drugs\, although he starts a rehab program. It is revealed that his addiction issues are related to his being fired from his factory job after his union was pushed out. \nBEGINNING REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:\n\n\nSweat-Beg.-Rehearsal-Schedue-V.4Download
