Audition details:

  • 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10, and 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12, at the Anderson Center Theatre (7850 Five Mile Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45230)

Show synopsis:

Several naughty couples want to “borrow” the Markhams’ London flat for an assignation. Due to unfortunate confusion they all show up on the same night. The result is a classic door-slamming comedy with frustrated lovers, children’s authors, interior decorators, and the Swedish au pair in a variety of hysterically funny, slightly indelicate situations.

The show will run from Feb. 20-28, 2015.

Joanna Markham – attractive, sophisticated (ages 25-50)**
Alistair Spenlow – good looking, interior designer (ages 20-50)
Sylvie – Swiss Au Pair (hearty accent), gorgeous big blonde (ages 18-30)

Our Town, Feb 10-18

Described by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written,” Our Town presents the small town of Grover’s Corners in three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage” and “Death and Eternity.” Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, the play depicts the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die.
