AUDITION NOTICE:

FOR CCP’S INAUGURAL…

 

 

CABARET TALENT SHOWCASE



We’re looking for some really good acts for CCP’s first ever, cabaret-style talent show to be held August 13th and 14th from at 8pm and August 15th at 2pm. Depending on your act and availability, it’s possible for you to perform one, two, or all three shows!

 What’s your talent?
 Do you sing, play an instrument, tap dance, break dance, perform magic, juggle, do stand-up comedy or hold your breath for 15 minutes without passing out? Maybe you have a secret talent that you’ve always wanted to share but just haven’t worked up the courage? Well… here’s your chance to show us what you’ve got. If you’ve got game… bring it! We’re just going to have a fun time!

 So, what about auditions?
 Glad you asked! The auditions will be held on August 2nd and 3rd @ 7:00 at the Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace. The address is 14299 Clay Terrace Boulevard, Carmel, Indiana 46032. You can also check out http://www.carmelplayers.org. Come ready to perform your act(s) just as you would if this were the real deal. You’ll have approximately five minutes to audition. We’ll provide microphone and electric piano. If you play an instrument or plan on sawing a person in half, you bring your own guitar or saw (and something to clean up the mess!). If you have music on track, we do have equipment to play it for you.

 Who can audition?
 These auditions are open to any and all who want to perform on our stage. There’s no age limit, height limit, restriction on hair style, or any other criteria – just keep your act clean and family-friendly.

 Why are we doing this?
 This is a fundraiser for Carmel Community Players, and a chance to perform in front of all the family, friends, neighbors and co-workers that we know you’ll invite! And they’ll pay just $10 ($5 for seniors and students (with ID)) to see you do your thing!

 Uhm, I have a few more questions. Who can I talk to?
 That’s simple. You can call Jeremy Cales at 317-946-8042, or if e-mail is your thing, you can email him at IndianaTechie@yahoo.com. He’ll get back to you right away.

 Looking forward to seeing all of this incredible talent!!! Come on out!

DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE - While at a café a man dies, but his cell phone will not stop ringing. The woman at the next table answers his ringing phone and is soon playing comforter to the man’s grieving friends and family. In the course of meeting these people, she falls in love with the dead man’s brother and becomes ensnarled in the dead man’s bizarre life.

An imaginative comedy by award winning playwright Sarah Ruhl, Dead Man’s Cell Phone is the tale of a woman forced to confront her assumptions about morality, redemption and the need to connect in a technologically-obsessed world. The Off-Broadway production was a starring vehicle for Mary Louise Parker, and the play had an extended run at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre in 2008.

Cast of Characters
Jean: 30s-40s Quirky, curious, emotional, and good hearted. Looking for a connection.

Gordon: 40s-50s The mysterious dead man. People were drawn to him. Has a wonderful (and lengthy) monologue at the beginning of Act II

Mrs. Gottlieb: 50s-70s Gordon’s mother. Self confident, take charge, and a bit overly dramatic at times. Holds herself in high esteem.

Dwight: 30s-40s Younger brother, still hiding in Gordon’s shadow. Caring and kindhearted.

Hermia: 30s-40s Gordon’s widow. When we first meet her she appears loyal, unsure, and somewhat mousy, but her true colors show once she’s had a few to drink. May be double cast with the character of The Other Woman.

 The Other Woman: Late 20s-40s Mysterious, dominating, and attractive. A true femme fatale straight out of a B movie. Requires two different accents; one an unidentifiable worldly accent and the other an Eastern European accent. May be double cast with the character of Hermia.

Stage Struck Stagehands
We will need 3-4 tech people to perform backstage duties, as well as appear on stage in a number of scenes. Open to any adult who has appeared on stage before or would like to have their first chance at being on stage. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact the director or just attend one of the audition nights.
