Daytona State to conduct open auditions for fall plays, One Man, Two Guvnors and Proof
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Aug. 29, 2014) – The Mike Curb College of Music, Entertainment and Art at Daytona State College will conduct open auditions for One Man, Two Guvnors and Proof from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 2 and Wednesday, Sept. 3, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., at the college’s News-Journal Center, 221 N. Beach Street, Daytona Beach.
One Man, Two Guvnors is Richard Bean’s English adaptation of “The Servant of Two Masters,” a 1743 Commedia dell’arte style comedy play by the Venetian playwright Carlo Goldoni, features mistaken identities, overactive appetites of every kind, sharp satire, intricate plot twists and cascading laughter that creates the perfect setting for merry mayhem in this Tony Award-winning British farce. Francis Henshall’s oversized appetites lead him to juggle a pair of bosses who share a propensity for criminal activity and, it turns out, so much more. His efforts to keep the two apart bring about an escalating series of comedic contortions that have won raves from fans and critics alike around the world.
Auditions will be held for the following roles:
• Francis: (20s/30) A quick-witted servant, always getting himself into and out of trouble. Improv and physical comedy skills required. (Based on Harlequin)
• Stanley Stubbers: (mid 20s) A rich gangster, attended the best schools and universities, very dashing and debonair. Think James Bond meets Jay Gatsby.
• Harry Dangle: (plays 40s) The used-car-salesman type of lawyer who’s very quick to let you know how much he knows about the law. (Based on Il Dottore)
• Charlie “the duck” Clench: (plays 40s) A gangster who has risen from nothing to being the head honcho. Intimidating but likable. (Based on Il Pantalone)
• Lloyd Boateng: (20s/30s) Everybody’s pal. Used to work for Charlie but now owns the local tavern. (Based on Brighella)
• Alan: (young 20s) Harry’s son, an aspiring actor (though not a very good one) and a hopeless romantic.
• Alfie the Porter: (87 years old), Physical Comedy skills required (May double as a musician) (*note-can be played by younger actors with makeup and wig)
• Gareth the Head Waiter: (20s/30s) Very well trained in proper etiquette and fancy gourmet dining. (May double as musician) (*note-can be played by a woman)
• Rachel Crabbe: (20s) A tomboy who is not afraid to take matters into her own hands, or even disguise herself as her dead brother, in order to marry her lover.
• Pauline Clench: (late teens/early 20s) Charlie’s spoiled princess of a daughter. Not very bright. Think Karen from Mean Girls meets Princess Fiona from Shrek.
• Dolly: (20s/30s) Charlie’s chief domestic (assistant). Smart, sexy, single, with some strongly feminist views. (Based on Smeraldina)
• MUSICIANS: 2 – 4 singer/instrumentalists (guitar, tambourine, ukulele, etc.) who stroll about the town commenting on the action of the play through their Beatles-esque songs.
Participants should prepare a one-minute comic monologue and bring a headshot and résumé if available, as well as a list of conflicts within the rehearsal/performance dates.
Production dates for One Man, Two Guvnors: Oct. 10, 11, 17, 18 at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12 at 2:30 p.m.- held in the Gillespy Theater, News-Journal Center.
Proof is the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning play by David Auburn. On the eve of her 25th birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, reflects on the many years spent caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father, who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father’s madness or genius will she inherit?
Auditions will be held for the following roles:
• Catherine: (20’s) A young woman who inherited at least some of her father's mathematical genius, and, she fears, his "instability" as well; she gave up her life and schooling to take care of her father until his recent death.
• Claire: (20’s) Catherine's older sister, no nonsense, takes charge kind of gal.
• Harold Dobbs: (20’s) One of Robert's last Ph.D. students during the one year his mentor's illness went into remission
• Robert: (50’s-60’s) A recently deceased mathematician who did brilliant, breakthrough work in his youth, but whose later years were plagued by delusional mental illness; he is seen in Catherine's imagination and in flashbacks.
Participants should prepare a one-minute comic monologue and bring a headshot and résumé if available, as well as a list of conflicts within the rehearsal/performance dates.
Production dates for Proof: Nov. 14-15 & 22 at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 16 & 23 at 2:30 p.m. - held in the Gillespy Theater, News-Journal Center.
