The play echoes contemporary issues of “Me too,” and the impact of racial prejudice.

DAWN (Female, 20s) Caucasian. A rookie cop. She is tough, vulnerable, guarded, and smart.
JEFF (Male, late 20s) Caucasian. A uniformed security guard. He is talkative and curious. He is somehow both anxious and relaxed, tranquil and uncomfortable.
WILLIAM (Male, lake 20s-30s) African American. He is serious, responsible intense, and ambitious.
BILL (Male, 30s). Caucasian. A policeman. He is charming, arrogant, and pathological. He is aggressive and performative both with his warmth and his rage.

ARTby Yasmina Reza
Directed by Scott Pohl
Audition Dates: Sun & Mon, 1/30 &31, 2022 at 7 pm.
Rehearsals begin March 6, 2022
Production Dates: April 21-May 1
“Art” is Yasmina Reza’s winner of the 1996 Olivier Award for Best Comedy and the 1998 Tony Award for Best Play. This raucous comedy about stretching or breaking the limits of friendship over a painting will have you laughing your ART off!
Cast of Characters: (The publisher requires the casting of males only.)
Serge: Serge is well off enough to have recently purchased a very expensive painting. He’s defensive and condescending about the reaction his purchase gets from others. Will he choose to lose his friends over this?
Marc: Marc thinks Serge has been foolish in buying this piece of art. He’s dismissive of its artistic merits and judgmental regarding the price Serge paid for it. His insults drive the story to its extremes.
Yvan: Yvan may appear to be the third wheel here, but his situation is crucial to the developments. He’s nervous about everything…his approaching wedding, his career, and how to react to the increasing tension between his friends. Yvan has an intense, lengthy monologue that may well generate the greatest audience response.

THE REVOLUTIONISTS
by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Tom Ferris
Audition Dates: Sun & Mon, April 3 & 4,2022 at 7 pm.
Performance Dates: June 9-19
SYNOPSIS: 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 Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold.
Cast of Characters:
OLYMPE DE GOUGES, 38 – Badass activist playwright and feminist. Theatre nerd, excitable, passionate, a showman. Widowed and never married to ensure her personal freedom. 38
CHARLOTTE CORDAY, 25 – Badass country girl and assassin. Very serious, hardened by righteousness, Never been kissed. Has a pocket watch she keeps checking.
MARIE ANTOINETTE, 38 – Pretty badass but fascinating former queen of France. Bubbly, graceful, opinionated, totally unaware, unintentionally rude, and oddly prescient. Never had a real friend.
MARIANNE ANGELLE, 30’s – A badass black woman in Paris. She is from the Caribbean, a free woman, a spy working with her husband, Vincent. Tough, classy, vigilant, the sanest one of them all.
FRATERNITE (Voice and Puppeteer) – This character will be portrayed by a puppet. Voice may be recorded. Voice is dictatorial and ominous.
