Auditions

It's Murder in the Wings - Bedford Players

Ladies of a Certain Age (or Shape), Weep No More!

If you're sick and tired of being overlooked for all the good roles, this is your big chance to get back on stage, or get on for the first time.

Our next show includes roles for 9 (yes, nine) women, including some delightfully juicy character roles and, for most, age and shape are irrelevant. We are also casting 4 males, also some nice character roles, age flexible. So come out and audition!

The show is a fun murder mystery comedy set in The Wings, a publisher of theatrical scripts. These are the roles:
Maddie: the boss, a fast-thinking career woman;
Tyrolia: receptionist with a smart answer for everything, including the phone;

• Kitty: a script reader;
• Doris: Kitty's ditzy sister;
• Sara Liles Hampton: grand actress with a second job;
• Helen Thorndyke: pushy newscaster;
• Bertha: bored camera operator;
• Bobbie June Lydecker: southern bell...of sorts;
• Nelva Odell: wife of a bank executive;
• Donald McShane: newspaper reporter and Maddie's sweetheart;
• Lionel Upshaw: pompous playwright;
• Eddie: janitor with something to hide;
• Maxie Dunsill: hack playwright who's hungry;

Come Read a Play! (Oh Yay! Oh Yay!)

Join your fellow Bedford Players members (new folks invited too) for laughs and socializing as we read through a very funny play, with potential for future production. It's a rip-roaring farce with roles for 6 men and 4 women of all ages. Everyone is invited to this read (including those who'd never, ever, want to perform on stage).

The read is on Wednesday, January 18th starting at 7 pm in the Boardroom (lower level) at All Saints Church Hall, 1408 Bedford Highway, Bedford, Nova Scotia. We will also have information on backstage roles for our next play (It's Murder in the Wings). For further information contact Kathy O'Brien, 832-4791 or kaobrien@eastlink.ca. If you have a chance, please RSVP so we'll have an idea of how many scripts we need.
