Reno Little Theater will hold auditions for
"Lives of the Saints"
One-act comedies by David Ives
Directed by Megan Conelly and Dr. Doug Mishler
|
- ENIGMA VARIATIONS: Zany hi-jinks as a pair of look-alikes named Bebe W.W. Doppel-gängler solve an identity crisis with the help of Dr. William W. Williams and his nurse Fifi, who may or may not be Aphrodite the Goddess of Love. Or is she a male gym-teacher in a dress?
- THE MYSTERY AT TWICKNAM VICARAGE: A body on the carpet, three ridiculous Masterpiece Theatre-style suspects and a bumbling Scotland Yard detective solve philosophical quandaries as they investigate: Who killed Jeremy Thumpington-Fffienes?
- BABEL'S IN ARMS: Two blue-collar Mesopotamian construction workers are handed a provocative task: Build the Tower of Babel—or else. How many stones does it take to get to heaven, anyway?
- SOAP OPERA: A washing-machine repairman falls in love with a picture-perfect washer. Should he tell his girlfriend Mabel? Is the washer two-timing him with a dryer? Stay tuned.
- LIVES OF THE SAINTS: A tender and gently comic meditation. Two women preparing a funeral breakfast in a church basement muse on life, death, and the meaning of Polish jokes—and along the way achieve a kind of sanctity.
- ARABIAN NIGHTS: Utterly normal Norman walks into utterly ordinary Flora's shop looking for a souvenir of his travels and together they find whirlwind romance, spurred on by a wacky translator.
- CAPTIVE AUDIENCE: A cautionary fable tells how Rob and Laura face a menace in their living room: a television that talks back to them and threatens to swallow them whole.
Have you ever wondered what the men went through who built the Tower of
Babylon, or who sold them the property? Have you contemplated why you are
strangely attracted to major household appliances and furniture? Did you
ever wish to dress in drag or wear a sheet? Is Deja Vu really a French
disease? Well here is your chance to answer these earth shaking questions
by experiencing the amazingly warped world of David Ives. We are seeking
actors of almost any age and almost any degree of insanity (even major
appliance lovers). We need 5 men and 4 women who are quick on their feet
and quicker with their wits. We offer the challenge of playing multiple
comic roles in a fast paced evening of David Ives' twisted masterpiece of
one act plays, Lives of the Saints.
Auditions will be July 31st and August 1st, 7 pm, at Reno Little Theater’s
rehearsal hall, 246 East Arroyo. Enter through the side gate. Be ready
for anything.
Come join us; you know you want to.
Performances: September 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 2005. For more information, email us through our contacts page.
