-A Night of Dramedy-
“The Devil’s Parole”
“The Lost Elevator” and
“Down Came the Rain”

Wednesday, February 27, 2008 7:00 P.M.
at the Portage Yacht Club

Play titles are:
“The Devil's Parole" is a comedy by Eric Giancoli
CASTING: calls for 2 men or 2 women.

Once every millennium, the Devil has a parole hearing with God to see
if he will be released from imprisonment in Hell. This time around the
Devil believes he's found a loophole.

"The Lost Elevator" is a comedy by Percival Wilde
CASTING: calls for 6 men and 5 women.

An express elevator gets stuck between floors in a high rise building,
stranding an assortment of people who react to the situation in varied
ways. A wonderfully witty, beautifully drawn classic.

"Down Came The Rain" is a drama by Burgess Clark
CASTING: calls for 2 young men.

Michael and younger brother Brucie -- who has been considered mentally
"slow" since birth -- venture out on a camping trip together. Brucie's
never-ending curiosity becomes increasingly unbearable to Michael,
especially when the questions involve the death of their mother. Down
Came the Rain is a touching, sad, and ultimately hopeful exploration
of two vastly different brothers, and how they navigate the delicacy
of family and truth.

Show dates will be April 25, 26, and 27 and May 2, 3, and 4.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE AUDITIONS/PLAY:
** No monologue preparation required. The audition will be conducted through cold readings from the script.
** The overall content of this show is for a mature audience. Viewership is recommended for ages 15 and up.
** The roles of Catherine and Hal have a romantically involved scene, so both performers portraying these roles should be comfortable with on stage passion (nothing over the top).
** There is also a good deal of vulgarity in this show that all roles will occasionally be required use.
** Even though the ages given are rigidly defined in the play, that does not mean the show will be cast this rigidly. If you are younger or older than a part calls for, but nail your audition, a minor age difference will not stop the best person from being cast in a role. Age make-up can be utilized, so don't be afraid to come out for a part. This is simply to let you know where the characters tend to fall in their overall mentalities and outlook on life.

CASTING NEEDS--- The play requires 2 men, 3 women and 2 teenage girls. Here are short character descriptions:

David-- Late 30's-ish. Semi-retired college professor. Lost his wife in a boating accident 2 years prior and has been living on the island since, shutting out both the world and his daughter.

Rachel-- 16. David and Gillian's only child. Witnessed her mother's death and her father's withdrawl afterwards. She is trying to be an adult in the face of her father's depression. She has just returned home from living with her aunt and uncle for 2 months.

Cindy-- 16. Rachel's best friend. Has a big crush on David.

Esther-- Late 30's-early 40's-ish. David's sister-in-law. She is a psychologist. Her intent is to look out for Rachel at all costs, even if it means severing ties to David. Wife of Paul.

Paul-- Late 30's-early 40's-ish. Esther's husband and David's best friend. Also a college professor. He is worried about David's slipping grip on reality and tries to talk him into coming back to work and moving on with Kevin.

CASTING NEEDS--- 6 cast members: 3 women, 3 men, one boy of about 12

ADDITIONAL INFO--- It's the first Christmas for a family who recently lost their son in a freak accident. The son's widowed wife is invited to the family gathering with Mom & Dad, two brothers, the spouse of one of the brothers and their son (about 12 yrs old). Mom has been dying of cancer and has remarkably gone into remission. The story explores the emotional difficulties of each family member as they try to figure out how to have the holiday with each other--what to say, what not to say. It is at times comical and at times sad and reminiscent as we watch this family deal with not just death of a loved one, but their own idiosyncrasies and moral dilemmas.

Annie Get Your Gun - *Revival Version
Monday, April 21st, 2008 - 7 P.M.
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 - 7 P.M.

* The NEW PETER STONE VERSION. This classic has been reworked and is no longer just a one woman show. Stone has added a secondary romance between the younger sister of Frank's bothersome assistant Dolly, and a boy who is (to Dolly's horror) part Native American. There are many great principal and featured parts for all the character actors and actresses out there! It is so great ...you definitely don't want to miss your opportunity to be a part of this show!

ANNIE GET YOUR GUN scored a bullseye when it returned to Broadway in 1999, starring Bernadette Peters and sporting a revised libretto by Tony, Oscar and Emmy winner Peter Stone. As Newsday reported, Stone's revisions "are sweetly ingenious, and the show is a dream." Stone reshaped the 1946 book to create a Wild West show-within-a-show that frames the ageless "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" love story of sharpshooters Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. Stone has added a secondary romance between the younger sister of Frank's bothersome assistant Dolly, and a boy who is (to Dolly's horror) part Native American. "The book has been updated in ways that pass p.c. muster," reported Time Magazine, "without losing all the fun." Joined to the new book, of course, is that amazing Irving Berlin score, featuring hit after hit after hit. "Irving Berlin's greatest achievement in the theater," wrote the New York Post, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN "will always be a musical for the ages, one of the Broadway theater's enduring triumphs."

Great songs like: There's No Business Like Show Business, You Can't Get A Man With A Gun, Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better, Doin' What Comes Natur'lly.

*Labor Day Weekend

Pull in and sit a spell for the crowd-pleasing musical "Pump Boys and Dinettes". The “pump boys,” are the fine tuned filling station fellas who sell high octane ethel on Highway 57. Across the main drag are the “dinettes,” the toe-tapping waitresses of the Double Cupp Diner. Together they fashion an evening of singing and dancing that celebrates the joys of small-town down-home southern life. A heapin' helpin' of both kinds of music (country and western!) will have audience members bouncing in their seats and kicking their heels all the way home!

In this unique review-style country/western show all music, vocals and instruments, are performed onstage by the actors- a definite challenge in the community theater arena, but a challenge the Dunes is eager to accept. Make plans now to join us in presenting this entertaining and effervescent musical!

CASTING: 2 women, 4 men

Late 1970's - early 1980's Rural North Carolina

All performers except Eddie (the bass player) must solo, harmonize, and vocally blend well with the others. South EAST accents are encouraged.

The male members of the cast perform all music live on stage. As scripted, Jim plays acoustic guitar, L.M. plays piano and accordian, Jackson plays acoustic guitar (6 & 12 string), electric lead guitar, harmonica and banjo, and Eddie plays stand-up (preferred) or electric bass. L.M. and Jackson play some high hat. We have some latitude to shuffle these abilities amongst the characters to accommodate the performers and best accomplish the needs of the material. The female characters are required to perform some minor percussion.

Rhetta Cupp: Diner co-owner/waitress. Older sister. Energetic and charismatic.

Prudie Cupp: Diner co-owner/waitress. Younger sister.

Jim: Gas Station co-owner. Good vocal range. Enthusiastic, congenial, front man.

L.M.: Gas Station co-owner. Baritone preferred. Backward, quiet, but likable.

Jackson: Gas Station attendant/mechanic. Tenor preferred. Young, energetic, confident.

Eddie: With no singing or lines the performer develops a "character" through timing sight gags and reactions.

Auditioners will prepare a solo vocal audition (preferably country) and bring sheet music- an accompanist will be provided. CD karaoke accompaniment is acceptable for country music selections. Songs from Pump Boys & Dinettes are acceptable audition material.
