Auditions - Bell, Book & Candle

The Theatre of Dare announces auditions for the first show of its 18th season, "Bell, Book & Candle" directed by Sheila Diehm.

The play, most familiar to people as the movie starring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak, calls for a cast of 2 women and 3 men. All parts are open. A brief description of the parts are:

GILLIAN HOLROYD: female, 25 to 30, alert, direct and very attractive
SHEP HENDERSON: 35 or so, masculine and attractive
AUNT QUEENIE: odd-looking woman, vague, fluttery and eccentric
NICKY: Gillian's brother, a little younger, engaging, impish and somewhat impertinent
SIDNEY REDLITCH: in his 50s, shambling messy and slightly drunk

These descriptions are in the script, but should not stop anyone with a love of performing from auditioning.

Auditions will take place at the Outer Banks Music Showcase, milepost 4.5 on the bypass in Kitty Hawk, on Monday, August 18th and Wednesday, August 20th from 7pm until 9pm. Call backs, if needed, will be Monday, August 25th at 7pm.

Rehearsals will begin right after Labor Day. The show opens on Friday, October 31st and runs for 2 weekends, closing on Sunday, November 9th. Rehearsals will be 3 nights a week.

Auditioners are requested to bring a photo and resumé if possible. Everyone will be doing cold readings from the script. No audition piece is required.

For more information, please contact the director, Sheila Diehm, at (252) 261-8334 or by e-mail at lovetosing3@msn.com.

The other productions in the theatre's 2008-2009 season are "The Gin Game" and "Little Women, The Musical". For subscription information, check our website www.theatreofdare.org.
