One man and one woman, both 50s-70s:
BARI: Single woman, widowed, age 50s-70s, neighbor of Kevin. Quirky, extroverted and leaning towards flamboyant. She's become fearful from weeks of sheltering-in-place. She yearns for in-person connection.
KEVIN: Single man, widowed, age 50-70s, reclusive curmudgeon, who finds most people annoying. Neighbor of Bari. He's comfortable being alone and enjoys being contrary. Unconsciously, he now longs for in-person social contact, but he's too invested in his "introvert identity" to admit this to Bari or himself.
All auditions will be on Zoom. Once you sign up for a 15 min. slot, you will be sent a zoom link and sides to review. Ideally, we will be pairing the characters for the audition slots however, you may end up reading with an assistant.

We are still reading people for these roles past the dates listed on previous audition notices.Twelfth Night O Lo Que Quieras is continuing to look for actors for the roles of Sebastian and Ensemble in this wonderful show. Due to the year-delay caused by the ongoing COVID pandemic, not every performer who signed on to work last year has been able to do so in 2021. While this is completely understandable, it does leave us in a position of needing to fill in their roles as soon as possible.
Auditionees may choose to audition over Zoom or In-person. In either case, please contact the Festival Stage Manager, Donna Marie Barra (dmb0857@aol.com) to schedule your appointment.
Please send via email a headshot (or a selfie or photo of yourself from the shoulders up) and resume (or short description of your experience with performing). Ms. Barra will send you sides (scenes or monologue from the play) to prepare after you schedule your audition.

If you play an instrument, please have something prepared to play.The directors are seeking men, women, and gender nonconforming actors ages 15-60.

Trevor by Nick Jones
Directed by Pete Parkin
Inspired by true events, Trevor is a subversive comedy about fame, success, and the lies we tell ourselves in order to keep people from taking away an erratic, 200-pound chimpanzee. At the center of this hilarious and heart-wrenching play are two individuals fighting against a world unable to understand their love: Trevor, a chimpanzee who once performed in commercials with the likes of Morgan Fairchild, and his owner Sandra, who swears he would never hurt a fly...at least not on purpose. A moving exploration of family, flawed communication, and humor. The chimpanzee characters will not be in monkey suits - they must be capable of excellent physical acting.
The play has a planned live opening on April 22, 2022 for a 3 week run. All actors must be fully vaccinated.
